Some things that I have noticed with my GTX 460 is that Afterburner shows ZERO GPU usage but the tasks are completing and being validated and the app is using 0.94 CPUs to do the work. Me thinks the CPU is doing the actual work and just using the GPU as a portal or gateway to the CPU.
FYI, you can set BOINCTasks to automatically suspend a task, from a particular project, if it runs more than X minutes. So if the tasks for donate normally run 15 minutes, you could set to automatically suspend any task that runs more than (say) 20 minutes.
This is exactly the setup I have when I'm running Donate. And Moo, for that matter... +11!Originally Posted by zombie67
But with only 2 Wu's Per GPU Core from the donate Project the Project won't Download any more work as long as the Wu is Suspended or am I wrong about that ??? I know I can't get any more work from any Project as long as Wu's from that Project are Suspended ...

I believe you are correct. But as long as you also have a backup project set up, at least you won't be losing/wasting crunching time.
