This is a sample of a request for more work from my win7 pro system with a GTX460 GPU.

9/30/2010 10:06:11 PM GPUGRID Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
9/30/2010 10:06:11 PM GPUGRID Requesting new tasks for CPU
9/30/2010 10:06:13 PM GPUGRID Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
9/30/2010 10:06:13 PM GPUGRID Message from server: No work sent

Should it not be asking for both CPU and GPU work and not just CPU? I though it was asking for GPU work earlier but since finishing the last GPU WU it just asks for CPU work. I tried rebooting the system but that did not help. I am running other GPU projects. Could it be holding off on asking GPUGrid for more work until it has worked on the others for a bit?

Thanks

Yes, your system has enough GPU tasks running or in the queue, so it just asks for CPU tasks.
I find this behaviour by the Boinc client very annoying and it wastes system resources.
