Hello, Im not sure if i should be posting here and im sorry if this is the wrong area but i love processing information as im sure alot of you do but i also play games on 1 of my computers and just like the cpu can be throttled by selecting how much percentage before it stops processing. I'm wondering if it can be implemented to GPU's so i dont have to keep manualy stoping it before playing a game or if their is an ability and I just dont know about it.

Thanks :)

If you make a cc_config.xml file you can set the very option you want with the <exclusive_gpu_app>important.exe</exclusive_gpu_app> flag.

<cc_config>
	<log_flags>
	</log_flags>
	<options>
		<exclusive_gpu_app>important.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>
	</options>
</cc_config>

EDIT: Something to note is that BOINC only checks to see if one of the exclusive apps is running every few seconds. Something like 30 or 60. So while your game is loading the GPU might still be active for a bit.

And if the game have several .exe files in the install directory add them all (except uninstall.exe), e.g.

<exclusive_gpu_app>GameEXE_1.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>
<exclusive_gpu_app>GameEXE_2.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>
<exclusive_gpu_app>GameEXE_3.exe</exclusive_gpu_app>

Sometimes the shortcut for the game starts one .exe (Loader) which then starts another .exe (the real game) and the Loader exits.
