A better idea is to swap the GPU for a high end AMD GPU. My 7950 is crunching along at 22 seconds per work unit and I can watch High10 10-bit 1080p videos at the same time. No need for switching to onboard graphics or a second graphics card. GTX 560 is very much of a slouch at GPGPU computing.

Right that's a winner
----------------------------------------![]() Windows Media Centre is back flicker free - on the 9500GT So the last piece of the jigsaw... How do you get that dedicated 560ti to keep running in the pauses between those work units again ? ![]() |

Crunching 6 HCC's in 18 minutes flat with this (for a nvidia card)

Similar question:
----------------------------------------I just installed a new Gigabyte mobo with a 3770K, and I'm running BOINC (dedicated to HCC with app_info.xml) on an ATI 7850. The mobo has decent onboard graphics, and I don't do any serious gaming on this machine, so should I use the onboard graphics, and allow the 7850 to concentrate on BOINC? I suspect that while using the computer, I am slowing down the 7850 by a small percentage - how would I measure this? It can't be too much, but every little bit helps, right? I don't care about any delays in my chess game, I want the 7850 to be able to devote 100% effort to BOINC, and not be slowed down when I use the machine. Gracias Or is it the case that we either have PCI or onboard, never both? I haven't had occasion to try doing that since AGP was cool, so I may just be stuck in the olden days .... ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Tomahawk4196 at Nov 24, 2012 6:53:21 PM] |
