Have Einstien@home running on linux machines with older ATI video cards.
Seems it download tasks that want to try to use ATI, but if I activate it, they immediately come up with computation errors and fail, but it then downloads more of the units. If I select suspend the GPU, the tasks are download, but they are never run, and I assume just die when then eventually get too old.

Looked for options, but haven't found any that seem to work.

What is best way to have it not download tasks, that will not run on machines.
Running Fedora 35 and Fedora 36 on most machines.
Thanks.

Easiest way is an option on the project website:

https://einsteinathome.org/account/prefs/project

Top section, for the venue specified for that computer, has a yes / no switch: Use AMD GPU
