battlefield 3 and Seti

hi all im wondering if i could run seti and Battlefield 3 at the same time without the lag or lower graphics or frames per second

i have a GTX460 with Amd x4 630 with 8gb ram.

battlefield 3 is a hungry beast that needs the GPU and used most of the cores that i have also that as im very new i will this later on today becouse im about to fall asleep so im going to lower down seti to 10% and go from there.

what you think

I think you should research the use of the <exclusive_app> and <exclusive_gpu_app> options in the Core client configuration file (cc_config.xml).

See this FAQ for examples of its use.

Real is just a matter of perception.

right i realy dont want my GPU to be used as they realy dont last more than two years for me. they get burned out prity fast

And how then these people run their GPUs without 'burning'?:

in a word,dont! i play bf3 nearly everyday and all i do is uncheck the tab 'when computer is in use' in my tools.bf3 is a very hungry beast and demands a huge amount of the cpu,gpu. im sure the few hrs a day you play bf3 wont impact massively on your ave credit ;-)
burning out the gpu after 2 years? sounds like someone is playing with some overclocking software.......;-) gpu should last a lot longer than 2 years unless your really raping it or have something setup incorrectly.......too small a p/s maybe?
