Hello

First of I'll say I'm totally new to Boinc.

I have set Boinc to work on SETI@home v7 and it is not using my Asus GTX 680 DirectCU II 2GB.

I have uninstalled Boinc and installed it again with the Services checked, so my GPU should work, but it is just standing at idle.

Can someone help?

PS: I have noticed that when Boinc is working on the SETI project it is only using 20% of my cpu. Is this normal?

PSS: I'm on Windows 8.1 Pro 64x

Well, first off, when you read the information blurb in the Boinc installer on the Service Install, you'll see that doing so will disable the use of the GPU for calculations. This due to the drivers running in a different account than the user, and it being a Windows security feature rather than something that Boinc does or can fix.

So do not install Boinc as a service if you want to use a GPU for calculations.

Second though, Seti is out of work. Best check the Seti News and Tech News for that for all the information and when there may be new work. Any work you get though are resends, never enough to fill one's cache.
