DVI works.

EDIT: you can see pixelation on black color and colors are a bit off and darker.
But it is watchable, not bad.

I could use inte hd graphic to watch tv, while crunching on my main gpu.

I already tried that and unfortunately gpu usage is still 99%, despite BOINC shows (1 CPU + 0.5 NVIDIA GPUs)
And limiting cpu usage to 0.005 didn't work aswell, since asteroids gpu tasks don't use cpu at all.

GPUGRID utilizes 80% of gpu per one task and one cpu core, but there is issue currently which prevent clients on windows 10 to get any tasks.
So i will use gpu for this project, i am getting geforce 1060 from msi, which has tdp only 120W.

Than i can't use gpu for crunching, because i can't watch tv shows at the same time.

I put this to my asteroids project directory and it doesn't work, i have gpu usage still 99%, at the same time there is 1CPU + 0.95 NVIDIA GPU inside boinc.

<app_config>
<app>
<name>period_search</name>
<max_concurrent>8</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>.95</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1</cpu_usage>

There is none, i am running my cpu at 100% whole day and temps are at stable 60C.

It doesn't happen in other applications, or when crunching other boinc projects.

Currently it stopped even while crunching asteroids wu's.
It seems like some wu's from asteroids caused it.
I let them know about this bug.

Yes it is asteroids project.
I just got new asteroids tasks and it started again.

I have disabled thermal control in bios, which could do that.
But no my cpu tempes are fine, i have very good cooler.
I have cpu temp alert, highest cpu temp i measued on one of my cores was 66.
Average 60.
Plus this frequency drops happens, only when boinc is running.

I think asteroids project might be doing that.
I have no asteroids wus at the moments and it stopped.
I will test it.

No i was wrong, even i disable every throttling fucntion in bios, eist, thermal, c1, c6 and turbo and run cpu at default clock.
I have set min frequency to 100% in power setting in windows.
Boinc cause my cpu frequency is scaled to 1,7ghz for example, and have constantly these spikes.
When i suspend boinc, it is gone.
I don't care much, but this is not ideal for effective crunching, frequency constantly dropping.
Don't know this is just me, or this bug is happening to other people too.
Just letting you know...

Hello,
i have weird problem, when BOINC is running my cpu frequency is dropping constantly in same intervals.
I am using windows 10 64 bit and i have in bios enabled c states and turbo mode, because i have cheapeast mobo and i can't oveclock my cpu.
Enabling turbo and c states in bios, increase my cpu frequency to 4,1GHZ surprisingly.
In windows power management i disable idle saver, so my cpu runs constantly at c0 state, and i have set min cpu frequency 100%.
This way i get my cpu running at 4,1ghz, instead of default 3,5,
I dont know why boinc cause frequency drops to 2.6ghz for example, if i switch it off i have constantly 4,1ghz in any other application.
In BOINC i have tried to set different cpu utilization setting and when i set 100% cpu cores and 100% cpu time, my frequency still drops.
I don't know why BOINC does this makes no sense.

EDIT: it was eist function in combination with turbo on, which allowed my cpu run at 4,1ghz, c states in bios wasnt needed, there are multiple options to turn on/off so, i found out about this by luck.
I turned off c states in bios, now it runs constantly at 4,1ghz.
NEVER MIND
