I doubt it's possible, but I would love to be able to
dedicate my 560ti to the long queue and my
460 (in the same system) to the short queue.
Instead of the current scenario where we can only
choose 1 or the other.

maybe give donors the ability to set up a profile,
so we can dedicate task types to different GPUs on
our systems.

I know that that would take an awful lot of work to
program the servers to be able to do that, but hey
this is a wish list right ;)

I'd expect that to require changes to BOINC, not just to GPUGRID. Some other people with more that one GPU per computer might want that too, though.

Another idea: If the motherboard has a separate GPU for use when there is no graphics board, how hard would it be to make BOINC use that GPU also (probably not for GPUGRID)?

you got two different series to crunch boinc? because I couldnt, tho I didnt wait very long and it was on a sunday. should tell me if it works for you.

Thanks for the replies,
skgiven, I will give that template a try later on.

@ Bugler.
If you mean did I get a 460 and a 560 in the same system
to crunch at the same time, yes I did.

just by using the

<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>

in the config file.

To be honest, now that the 4.2 app has cut runtimes by 40-50%, it's no longer such an issue for me as even the 460 can get long tasks in with plenty of time to spare.
I will still test that config from skgiven, out of curiosity more than anything else.

Simba123, I'm not sure about this and I can't test it (as I don't have mixed cards in the one system). I think you would need to select to crunch long and normal length tasks, and setup a cc_config file something like this:

<cc_config>
<options>

<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<device_num>0</device_num>
<type>nvidia</type>
<app>acemd</app>
</exclude_gpu>

<exclude_gpu>
<url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</url>
<device_num>1</device_num>
<type>nvidia</type>
<app>acemdlong</app>
</exclude_gpu>

</options>
</cc_config>

Assumes that the better GPU is device 0 (first PCIE slot)

I've always wanted to use the NVIDIA card as a GPUGrid cruncher, and use the graphics processor in the INTEL-CPU for everyday graphics (maximizing, youtube, etc)

it is possible to run two BOINC clients on one machine, and exclude 1 card from each client. Then you configure each client as if it were its own machine.
