I see an unusual number of invalids for my only host
Not sure what you mean by unusual?
I see five invalid results in my current list of tasks and that is unusual. In the past, when I checked my tasks I rarely had any invalids at all and I don't remember ever seeing more than one or maybe two at the same time. So if this isn't just a streak of bad luck, either that host is not as reliable as it used to be or maybe something is wrong with the application. I can't rule anything out, perhaps somebody else can. For now I've switched to the stable application.
This host got a GPU upgrade yesterday (Nvidia --> AMD). Then it was running R9 390 + Windows 10.00.15031 + AMD Radeon driver 17.2.1. I hadn't tested any host with this setup earlier. Today I noticed most of the finished tasks were ending up "validation inconclusive". Not good. Temperatures were fine and I don't know what was the reason.
Then I decided to switch OS to Linux... and I installed Mint 18.1 Xfce (+kernel 4.8.0-36) + AMDGPU-PRO 16.60 on that same host. That new combination is here. It has been working fine so far. Zero validation inconclusive.
I wonder if anybody has similar observations were a host with AMD GPU in Windows environment didn't produce valid results but same hardware in Linux environment does

I left windows a long time ago, but i did notice all your windows tasks end with a FPU status flag...

I use Windows 10 and I can't run more than one WU at a time without getting a ton of invalid results on my R9 390X. I have only had one invalid result since I switched to one WU on February 15th. Spoke too soon...

It's not just me, others have reported similar problems with just 2 WUs.
Interesting, that some users seem to be affected and some others not...

Some on my team have seem the same thing with 480s and have tried the driver install suggested in the other thread.

We also appear to have a new application for Nvidia cards too... Or at least new to my main rig anyways.

For ATI cards too... FGRPopencl1K-ati. Those are the former Beta app which isn't Beta anymore.

Ahhhhh, that would explain why I'm steadily running out of beta work units and those are taking their fill. ^_^;;;;

I checked and same difference goes for Nvidia tasks... (GTX 960 crunching in Linux and Windows).

I didn't know that Hawaii was working well with AMDGPU-PRO. I will install Mint and let you know how it goes.
