I was afraid of that.

Thank you for your reply Jord.

Some Boinc notifications are useful and others not so much. On the not so much side are things like projects where I only run CPU tasks and I get notifications about my settings not allowing GPU tasks and vice versa for projects I only run GPU. Every time I see one I am like "well duh, I set it up that way". There is a line between being helpful and being annoying spam.

Is there any way to stop these notifications from popping up several times a week?

My system has two GPU's. I have a GTX 680 that runs Boinc 24/7. I also have a GTX 780 Ti that my monitor is hooked up to. The GTX 780 Ti runs Boinc projects when I am not at the PC.

When I am at the PC I want to remove the 780 Ti from being available for Boinc projects and be dedicated to games or playing videos. If I have the 680 on one project and the 780 Ti on another this isn't an issue since I can just suspend the project the 780 Ti is working on. But when I have both GPU's on the same project that will not work. Well, it does but it also shuts down the 680, which I don't want to do. The way I have been handling this has been to go into the config files and editing a exclusion line for just the 780 Ti.

Is there a simpler way to do what I have described without having to edit the config files every time?

And that's the response I expected, after looking for and reading similar posts. No better way to do what I am trying to do and no interest in adding functionality for multiple GPU users.

First let me describe my system. I am running a i5-3570k with a GTX 680 and a GTX 780 Ti. The majority of the time I have separate projects running on the CPU and each of the GPU's. For example, SIMAP on the CPU, GPU Grid on the 680, and Seti on the 780 Ti.

Here recently I have had both GPU's running the same project, Seti@Home, for a contest. My problem comes up when I want to run a game or other video intensive program. You can't simply tell Boinc to not use one of the GPU's and then switch it back on when your done and ready to crunch again. You can either suspend the project and both GPU's or you have to go into the config files and put in a entry to exclude the GPU you want to free up. Editing the config files is the process I have been using. Its cumbersome to have to go in and make the entry and save it. Then you have to go back and delete it when your ready to crunch again.

Is there a better way to stop Boinc from using a single GPU out of a set of multiple GPU's all running the same project?

What Boinc needs is a additional selection under the Activity tab for each different GPU.

I don't know about any one else but I can not connect to Poem@Home today. Website is down and when I hit the Update button on the Boinc client I get a communication deferred with a four hour count down.
