Hello BOINC users. I have some problems to install BOINC on Ubuntu - mate, but with some time i will make it. But before i spend my time in this problems, i have to ask:
I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core Processor but still only a Geforce GTX 550 Ti and i guess that is not useful. Are there only projects using GPU or can i find projects that using my CPU ?
Thank you for help my first steps and excuse my bad english...

Most projects have work for CPUs and your current CPU will do that work.
Of the projects that do have tasks for GPUs many require more modern GPUs than yours, so don't be surprised if that is not too productive.
