I have forced update, aborted tasks, restarted clients, etc and had no luck. The log would say the location changed but didn't have an immediate effect. But after a few cycles of wus finishing, the change would suddenly kick in. A few times it was immediate. I even tried forcing it in the client state xml and restarting; it was ignored. Currently hand managing hydra6 as I try to get it back to 2 per gpu.
    Zombie clued me into this. If the tasks are downloaded when the preference setting at .33, they're tagged as such and your gpu will try to run 3 at once. If you want to change to 2 tasks you have to change the preference setting to .5, abort what you have downloaded at .33 and download more....which then get tagged at .5

    @F$ - thanks for making that post a Sticky.

    Good writeup, but in my opinion it's missing one important thing, the minimum system-requirements then it comes to Ati-cards, meaning 5xxx or later GPU, Catalyst 12.x or later driver and 500 MB or more GPU-memory.

    I activated dual processing for both of the GTX 550 Ti graphics cards in my ASUS motherboard today.

    Thanks team for sharing your experiences, it really helps many other people when you take the time to leave a note!

    Finally have a card that can crunch Einstein GPU WU.
