Just an FYI. If you want to run an app_config file that allows you to run multiple GPU tasks at the same time you'll have to upgrade your version of boinc to 7.0.42. It will not work with any version lower than that. It's very simple to set up if you'd like to try it and I can give you easy to follow instructions. All I need to know is your OS, type of video card and size of PSU.

I'm running Win 7 x64 Enterprise with two 7970Ghz editions and a 1200 watt PSU.

This is my current config using BOINC 7.0.28 and it seems to be working with 6 GPU tasks per card. I did this because I have a 3930K so there is one task per CPU thread. I only want to crunch on the video cards.

Please let me know what I should change.

@SrsBsns

1: Set the project to "No new task"
2: Quit BOINC
3: Edit app_info.xml
4: Set avg_ncpus = .75
5: Set max_ncpus = .75
6: count = .12
7: Save
8: Run BOINC

Once you run out if task, rename app_info.xml to app_info.old

Since you only want to crunch on GPU, make sure your Device Profile is set accordingly. »secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms···vices.do

Upgrade your BOINC to version 7.0.42
Run BOINC
Check if you have GPU Task
If you have, create projects\www.worldcommunitygrid.org\app_config.xml

app_config.xml (Contents):
<app_config> <app> <name>hcc1</name> <max_concurrent>18</max_concurrent> <gpu_versions> <gpu_usage>.11</gpu_usage> <cpu_usage>.66</cpu_usage> </gpu_versions> </app> </app_config>
