Please Post if GPU Board makes Windows unbearable while running HCC

Just because a GPU runs HCC successfully does not mean that everything is well. For various reasons, it can make Windows graphics unbearably slow or erratic, or can interfere with other software or hardware. Please post problems here. And if somebody has posted about a problem that your system does NOT have, then post that too. Perhaps you have a setting to fix the problem or there is some other problem that caused the original report.

Re: Please Post if GPU Board makes Windows unbearable while running HCC

Unbearable slow and laggy here:

Windows 7
Intel 980x
2 Nvidia GTX 460 1GB
12GB RAM
BOINC 7.0.28 x64

If I snooze the GPU's then it runs fine.

Re: Please Post if GPU Board makes Windows unbearable while running HCC

Super slow on my gtx660ti while watching video. I can run them at night, but I prefer to use GPUGRID until you folks get things stable and smooth.

ATI 6950. In CCC, if I leave my settings in overdrive high, its unbearable. But if I lower the settings, becomes livable but a little choppy.

Re: Please Post if GPU Board makes Windows unbearable while running HCC

Windows 7 on AMD A8-5500 Quad @3.2Ghz with 8Gb memory and AMD Radeon HD 5760D.

Unbearably slow running only 1 GPU WU? What does unbearable mean? Slow enough that the user will notice that something is slowing the system down and would thereby require removal of WCG from the system. Otherwise running at 90% CPU all the time.
