1) Message boards : GPUs : Einstein@Home not using 100% of graphics card (Message 107314)

Greetings,

I recently cobbled together a computer to run Einstein@Home. I originally was running integrated graphics as I didn't have a graphics card for it. I recently obtained one but do not have a VGA to HDMI adapter to run the monitor off the card, so I enabled the integrated graphics in BIOS to run the monitor.

BOINC is currently switching between integrated graphics and the NVIDIA graphics card, something I have never seen before. That in and of itself is fine for me, however, when an E@H task is running that uses the graphics card, at most the card is only running at 50%-60%.

has anyone run into this particular situation before? While using integrated graphics for the monitor, is there a way to get BOINC to run the graphics card at or near 100% for those specific tasks? Or maybe it doesn't utilize the full card when an integrated graphics process is also running?
Thanks for any input!



The specs (nothing OC):

Intel I5 6600K @3.5Ghz

MSI Duke GeForce 1070ti

Gigabyte mATX motherboard (can't remember which one specifically)

32 gigs of RAM
