I have a Lenovo Y700 running windows 10 with
-INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (6489MB)
and
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M (4095MB)
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8407014
The thing is that the Intel GPU has taken over and all GPU processing is being done on it while Nvidia GPU is sitting idle. Now i have made a config file to get both gpu active with it being placed in "C:\ProgramData" , named "cc_config.xml" with the following code

<cc_config>
   <log_flags>
   </log_flags>
   <options>
      <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
   </options>
</cc_config>

Also the event log file is

Now I've tried everything i could find but the GPU still won't work,
Also adding image to show what happens in task manager of my Laptop.

Since i'm just starting out with Boinc, all help is appreciated. Thanks =D

hi, perhaps you have to choise le GPU you want like explained here ?

I've already done that in the settings but to no avail...

C:\ProgramData\BOINC is where the config file is placed... It is wrong in the original Post .

mine is in \Boinc_Data\

---

The default name of my folder is Boinc. I guess we have different folder names...

last Boinc installation needs 2 folders

Boinc for Boinc program exes and library
BoincData for projects with configuration files ... Project Apps and downloaded Wus ;)

till i see you have le latest one, 7.8.3 .
