Prompted by Wicksman comment on the effect of HCC GPU on his stats, the following may be of interest:
UK team stats for 08/10 (i.e. before HCC GPU) compared with 13/10

Wicksman is not alone in seeing significant improvement in Results as a consequence of HCC GPU.

Entries in purple are those members I judge to be benefiting from GPU either because they have the 'right' project mix/selection and/or GPU capable cards.
It's still early days of GPU processing. A full 7 day picture may look somewhat different. Who knows, I might get a resolution to my no GPU WUs problem and appear on the list myself!

I came across this post on Page 1 of the UK thread.

Bob Harris last crunched on Feb 22nd 2012 and it would seem never joined the
UK Boinc Team nor for that matter the BOINC UK team.

Since the original post the UK Boinc Team has recruited 22 new members, 4 of whom subsequently retired, 3 of them sgdale; douglasalt1; and danielwejones to join the UK team.
In the same period the UK team added 36 new members with 2 of them subsequently retiring.

The UK team remains the only GB based team to have a forum thread.

I always took that Bob Harris comments as being part troll, so no surprise there TBH.

Well it looks like I'll have to worry the Bank Manager and buy a couple of Graphics Cards then (what annoys me is that my 1st I7 has had more than a good few earlier Betas for HCC GPU and they ran & validated with no problems, GPU goes Alpha, but that same card is excluded from crunching , so now gotta spend more money), wife will kill me... I just won't tell her

@ Wicksman: GPU uses CPU at the beginning and end of each work unit, so you may see a slight drop on the CPU work your doing (very slight drop).

@ themoonscrescent

It might be worth posting the I7 card details in the GPU forum and see if anyone else has the same issue. Maybe the techs might give more detail re its exclusion or reconsider.

Finally got an allocation of HCC GPU by reinstalling both BOINC and then WCG. Now to get crunching!
