I got to looking at my GTX 750Ti's and one card seems to consistently use "more" cpu as reported in both the task manager and in the TThrottle app.

Yet, they both report near identical "loads" under the Gpu-Z app.

And they have nearly the same time's to run the SOG Work Units (lately its been about a half hour, it used to vary from 7-10 minutes to 20-30 minutes).

So given the WU processing seems to be very similar on both cards, should I even worry about this? Or does this mean I am leaving some performance on the table I could gain?

-------------------------------
Based on some reading of other threads here, I have just changed the app_config.xml to 1 cpu / .5 gpu. And dropped the "timer" parameters someone gave me from my mb*.txt command line. All in the name of increasing the "put thru" of my 750Ti's. Now I have to wait.

Apparently the amount of load the GPU's have on the cpu are less than a cpu dedicated to running a Seti WU. The entire cpu load on the system has dropped.

Here is my current command line: -sbs 192 -spike_fft_thresh 2048 -tune 1 64 1 4 -tune 2 64 1 4 -hp

I have been seeing some GPU tasks on my R9 390X and 750ti with larger CPU times as well. Roughly about twice the normal CPU time. I figured it had to do with the data in the tasks since the task run time was about the same as normal.
