Can I select which project or WU goes to which GPU? I have a dual GPU setup, a GTX-570 and a GTX-550TI, and I would like my GPUGrid WU's to run on the GTX-570 as they run pretty long. Would this also be possible for other projects or WU's?

I had a dual directory setup before I exchanged my GF8600GT 256MB with a GTX-570. I removed my cc_config.xml file so both GPU's are now again controlled by 1 BOINC client.

Today I solved it by waiting until the GTX-570 was almost finished with a SETI-WU and then I resumed the GPUGrid WU's. The GTX-570 runs the GPUGrid WU's about 3-4 (or 2-4) times faster than the GTX-550TI.

Is there something I could put in the cc_config.xml file or in the projects app_info.xml file?

Anthony.

The same question is being asked on SETI. The alpha client allow for this, however you would want to wait until they become a release version.

Yeah, I posted it there also. For now I'll just go back to my 2 client-setup.
