Well those are the figures I use to try to keep the screen of graphics without moving, but it continues to go from one angle to the other, up and down, right to left. Obviously these settings were placed several hours ago so it has been updated in my machine.
I just get dizzy of looking at the movement of the -otherwise- nice graphics screen. Any additional help?

I want it to be without a movement! (moving back and forth is just silly, you can not look at the data being shown at the moment).

Patience is a virtue.

Have you updated the graphic data?
Yes? Then try to restart BOINC and if that doesn't work, wait until the actual wu has finished.

Thank you Basti, will do that on next unit.

Have a nice 2005.

Yes, you have to do an update to the site after you have made changes to the settings to download the changes. Once that is done, you have to open a new panel to see the changes.

I have complete directions in the BOINC Owner's Manual on how to get there from here ...

So that everybody knows, yes Paul I already thanked you privately, now I do it openly thanks a lot, it worked!

Now is not moving!

BTW, I notice that you have your "Maximum CPU% For Graphics" up at 5%. While I don't know just how much CPU time the graphics take up (I'm still trying to find a way to benchmark a single WU), it is probably possible to safely lower that number (especially since the image is almost completely static).

In my experience, it's usually OK to lower the number to 1% with no problem (a few integrated graphics may not update fast enough, such as my laptop [which stutters even at 5%, so I never use the screensaver on it anyway! =D]). If you've got a "real" video card, I've gotten down to 0.1% without problem on some, and 0.5% seems to work fine for almost all real cards.

I don't know if it will speed up your WUs at all, but it might help a little :)

Thank you!

Honest Abe! A user that did read the manual!

A real shock to my heart!
