I'm using a A10-7850K for playing games on the APU, it has a "dedicated" graphics card inside the CPU for those that don't know this :p If you like - a Hybrid CPU/CPU GPUGRID (Molecular Dynamics) application designed for this hardware exists for testing. I bought a GT630 with a GK208 Chip that is cooled Fanless. It uses only 25Watt and produces about 692GFlops its not much... but the GFlops per Watt performance is better than the Titan X and under 0.1Gflops less than the GTX980. It uses 1 Watt for 27Gflops. The GT630 Zotac passive has [3] memory configurations. GT630 (800MHz/GDR3 64bit memory interface) 901 core clock will complete long runs in over [2] days - or 3. There passive cooling (heatsink only) Maxwell 750's also. Total performance is no where near a Titan. What's similar is SMX/SMX per core wattage. GT630 (2SMX*12.5Wper =25W total) Titan X (24SMM*12.5per=250W Total) (Although an overclocked Titan can go over 250watts) Look at total cores/wattage -- 25W for 384 cores and 250W for 3072 CUDA. Each core in a SMX/SMM consumes 0.0**w or lower. Many performance analysis metrics exist for (Energy) . Explanations about CPU/GPU technology advancements and requirements can found at Anandtech: articles of interest and depth. | |

Your GK208 GPU is a Kepler. With its older architecture it is less efficient than Maxwells under most real world workloads, despite the comparable raw GFlops/W rating. | |

You don't understand me, i wrote i DONT want to use my AMD iGPU for GPUgrid. I want to use ONLY GT630 for GPUgrid. And the AMD would be used only for gaming and other stuff. GT630 = GPUgrid AMD iGPU = Games, browsing and other stuff. I also DONT want that when i start a game that the game start using the GT630. The Game should ONLY be able to use the AMD iGPU. I say it like that i don't want that the GT630 will be used by any Program or Game or what ever it will ONLY work for GPUGRID... ONLY The AMD iGPU should work like the GT630 would NEVER exist... | |

Your title is "Select GPU for F@H" and now you are saying you want to use your GT630 for GPUgrid, "GT630 = GPUgrid". | |

Your title is "Select GPU for F@H" and now you are saying you want to use your GT630 for GPUgrid, "GT630 = GPUgrid". Yes i want to SELECT the GT630 for F@H not the iGPU. What happens if i want to F@H and play games ? I get like 1FPS -.- Or can i do something like hmm when i browse or watch youtube IGPU and GT630 is working for GPUgrid. But when i start a game and want to play the IGPU STOP to work for GPUgrid and starts to render/run the game. It would be awesome if the person who made BOINC would add some more features like selecting GPUs and that stuff. | |

GPUgrid is a Boinc project. | |

GPUgrid is a Boinc project. Didn't knew that :) How can i run 2 GPUs (Not SLI mode) in BOINC ? GOT a GTX460, GT630 :) The GTX580 is sold :( When i make here any suggestions will it be added to BOINC Manager ? | |

How can i run 2 GPUs (Not SLI mode) in BOINC ? Install them and add the 'use all gpu's' instruction in a cc_config.xml file, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration When i make here any suggestions will it be added to BOINC Manager ?No. Berkeley maintain and publish the Boinc software, http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help | |

- It's already in there! Go to the Boinc Manager and click on Tools, computing options, then click on the exclusive applications tab and put your game and youtube command file names in there. Then anytime those files run Boinc will stop crunching until you stop running that file. | |

On Boinc Manager 7.4.42 it's Tools, Computing Preferences (not options), exclusive applications. | |

On Boinc Manager 7.4.42 it's Tools, Computing Preferences (not options), exclusive applications. You're right I was looking right at and STILL typed it wrong, thanks for fixing it!! | |
