Hello. I'd like to allow specific GPU(GPU in AMD 7950x), not 3080, to compute. Is there any settings? Or mb task filter with tasks for AMD GPUs? |

With Notepad, make a file called cc_config.xml in your BOINC Data directory (if it not already exists) and add into it: <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <<ignore_cuda_dev>1</ignore_cuda_dev> </options> </cc_config> Save it as cc_config.xml, making sure it doesn't get an added .txt (which Windows likes to do), and make sure it's set to UTF-8 encoding. After that, exit BOINC completely and restart it. |

The system has 1 AMD GPU and 1 NVIDIA GPU, so shouldn't it be <ignore_nvidia_dev>0</ignore_nvidia_dev> According to the manual (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration) it should be <ignore_nvidia_dev> instead of <ignore_cuda_dev>. The latter is deprecated but still works according to the source code. Please remove the typo at the beginning of line 5. '<<ignore...' should be ''<ignore...''. |

Well, I can't remove typo's anymore than you can. But you're right, it should've been nvidia instead of cuda. <cc_config> <log_flags> </log_flags> <options> <ignore_nvidia_dev>1</ignore_nvidia_dev> </options> </cc_config> |
