I'm looking for some help. Sorry for awful english, I'm from Russia. I have an issue using multiple GPUs on the same computer simultaneously. BOINC version is 7.2.42. Windows 7 64bit. I'm connected to only one project: SETI@home. Hardware is: 01.08.2014 14:12:53 | | cc_config.xml not found - using defaults As you can see I have 3 GPUs of different brands: nvidia, ati and intel. I have one monitor connected to embedded intel's GPU. BOINC is correctly getting and producing tasks for all 3 GPUs. The problem is when I force (using preferences menu) BOINC use GPU, then it uses all 3 of them simultaneously, so I have graphical itches with my Windows 7 GUI. When I set preference to wait some time for inactivity - than BOINC don't use all 3 of the GPU's simultaneously either till that inactivity timer is passed. That's uncomfortable. Logically I need to force to work just 2 GPUs without monitors: nvidia and ati. And I need to have inactivity timer for GPU with monitor: intel's embedded. Is it possible to do this using preferences file? I've read this information: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration Well, there is some interesting options: <ignore_intel_dev> or <exclude_gpu>. So I can force to work 2 GPUs all the time and totally ignore current system's GUI GPU. But it's still not the best solution. Thank you for any help. If I've missed right place for topic - please forgive me that awful sin. |
