I ran CUDA for a while with 6.6.20 and got less credit tha before the upgrade.
I re-install 6.4.7 and get higher credit again.

Well, since your hosts are hidden, we can't check on what the actual tasks were or did. So can you leave a link to your computer or tell us its hostID number, please?

You probably get less CUDA credits on 6.6.20 because it is suspending CUDA work when the computer is in use, a function that is not available in 6.4.7

Under Advanced,Preferences and on the processor usage tab choose "use GPU while computer is in use" Not sure if that is turned on by default or not. I made sure it was turned on for my machines.

Hope this helps
