Badges are based on CPU time, which is small for GPU tasks. So you will get some small help on badges, but nothing compared to CPU tasks.
This will be an interesting chart to watch:
For those of you looking for an AMD app_info.xml file I was able to modify the CUDA file that Rattledagger found on the WCG forums to work with my 7970.
Here it is:

You can run 4 tasks at a time? What's the run time and GPU load?
You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
I'm still trying to figure out how many instances of the application is optimal for my system, but I thought I would post a working app_info for people to adjust their <avg_ncpus> <max_ncpus> and GPU <count> according to their specifications.
When I run 8 tasks my GPU load maxes out around 95% but will dip if enough tasks are nearly complete and switch to CPU only. Tasks are completing after about 5 minutes.
You'll never know what you're living for until you know what you're willing to die for.
I attached my app_info.xml as app_info.txt
This time it's for 4 workunits per AMD GPU each using one CPU core. Hope this helps.
Still not working for me. Get this from message log.

stop all tasks that you have on Boinc or just canceled them without any tasks Boinc will start downloadind.
