Re: It's as bad as the beta

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.

Re: It's as bad as the beta

Right that's a winner smile

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 ?

Re: It's as bad as the beta

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

<app_info>

<file_name>hcckernel.cl.7.05</file_name>
<open_name>hcckernel.cl</open_name>
</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

saved as app_info.xml in C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org folder

the 0.16666 bit (1/6) allows 6 GPU Work Units to be run at the same time using each core of the 1055T which eliminates the pause and keeps the card at 99% as shown in MSI Afterburner

and Media Centre, VLC, YouTube and iPlayer all Flicker Free running on my 9500GT

Thanks nanoprobe hugs the other side of 100,000 BOINC points a day beckons again and my poor GPU now runs pretty much flat out 24/7 smile

Which is how it should be peace

This is the World Community Grid after all biggrin

Re: It's as bad as the beta

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 ....
