I run my PC 24/7 and for some reason SETI will only use my GPU some of the time. It's not a matter of what else I am running because my system is always running. Most of the time when I turn on my monitor to do other work SETI is not using my GPU, other times it is. I have an Nvidia GT 430 video card with the latest drivers, 310.90. My system is an Intel I5-2500K @3.3Ghz with 16Gb ram. Any thoughts would be appreciated. | |

I don't see any problems on the rig in question, so my best guess is it's just the luck of the draw that you've not downloaded any GPU work, just CPU work. | |

I did not realize there were CPU and GPU types of work. That sure explains it. | |

There is also a setting to use GPU while active. The warning is that many computers become sluggish when doing GPU work while also doing UI work. | |
