How can I change speed of SETI using GPU on my Graphics card? My GPU is running a bit hot, and I don't want it to cause a failure. How can I change the use speed only for the GPU portion of SETI projects in my BOINC program? The CPU portion looks to be OK. Thanks in Advance for Your Help With This GPU Speed Overwork, and Overload Problem. NOTE! I'm running the latest version of Win 10 Threshold 2 Build 10586 64-bit Pro. If you are still using the original, or FIRST Build of Win 10, you might want to download this upgrade while it is still available from Microsoft. It is better than the First Build, and has less bugs than the First Build. |

I have checked the SETI project settings screens online at the SETI site, and there isn't a way to set the load given to GPU's. I ask this to the SETI project builders: Please add options to control how much of the GPU is used by SETI, and I ask you to please notify other projects using BOINC of an update for the problems noted in my original post. I additionally ask that the options I am asking for will be added to the BOINC interfaces to help users with this very bad problem. Thanks in Advance to SETI, and others adding an update to both the SETI projects, but also to BOINC the help prevent damage caused by overloading of GPU's by SETI, and other projects. |

My GPU is running a bit hot ... Use TThrottle  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

...and there isn't a way to set the load given to GPU's. That's because there isn't any way to do so on the present GPUs available. They can only use all internal streaming processors at the same time, or not use them at all. There is software coming that should be able to steer parts of these processors to do work and others to stay idle, but that's still being tested out in the programming world. It's also not sure it will work on present hardware (aka all GPUs till thus far) or that it needs new hardware that's compliant with this steering. |
