How to I set preferences to accept AMD/ATI GPU Workunits?
My event log in BOINC says there are AMD/ATI GPU tasks available but my preferences are not set to accept them. How do I change this? I looked at my preferences but didn't see anything about AMD/ATI work units.

Re: How to I set preferences to accept AMD/ATI GPU Workunits?
Go to the Help pages, look for Graphics Card Processing, click that, then look for How do I configure my settings so that World ...uses my device's GPU? and click that.

BTW, there is a typo in that section where it reads "This is an advanced option and is set to "No" be default," - it should be "by default". Maybe someone of the WCG Team can make a small correction there? I don't know if TigerLily has privileges to do so.

Re: How to I set preferences to accept AMD/ATI GPU Workunits?
I keep getting this message but my preferences are set to accept AMD/ATI. Anything I can do to actually receive any of these?
