Not sure of the gpu question, I haven't seen that happen or read anything about it. I found that with BOINC v7, there's a bug that throws BOINC v7 into high priority mode when you have a fairly high cache setting and tasks with less than a 10 day deadline, so lower the "minimum work buffer" a few days and see if they drop out of high priority model

I described this in:

it even ignored my computing preference, i had don't exceed 87.5 % of the processors; and it went ahead and used them all.

i've suspended the work units until the behavior stopped, and am resuming a few every hour or so.
