Hi, I wanted to know how to run 2 GPUGRID tasks on 1 GPU. I have a gtx 970m, i7-5700hq, and 16GB RAM. I have the latest version of BOINC 7.6.22.
Thanks.

Create a new "app_config.xml" file in the "c:\Programdata\Boinc\Projects\www.gpugrid.net" directory which should contain

<app_config>
<app>
<name>acemdshort</name>
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>

<app>
<name>acemdlong</name>
<max_concurrent>2</max_concurrent>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>1.0</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config>

if you want to run both short and long runs x2. Having said this, the GTX970M seems to have similar performance as the desktop GTX960, so I would rather aim at the short runs. Dont forget to check/uncheck the short/long runs in your GPUGRID setting accordingly.

Besides, crunching with a Notebook is not straightforward because of the heat generation, the internal fan will wind up quickly. I recommend using TThrottle (Freeware) in order to avoid overheating and slow down the tasks where needed.

Thanks, this laptop doesn't have any overheating problems with the GPU, it's the CPU that gets too hot, i'm thinking of a cooling mod to help with that.
It is working after i updated gpugrid and restarted boinc. To split it between 3 tasks i would change .5 to .33 right? Thanks.

Also if I had a system with 2 gtx 750 ti's would i need to make a app_config.xml or would it automatically run 1 task each?

Theoretically it's right, but there's a limit of 2 workunits per GPU here at GPUGrid, so your host won't receive the 3rd one.

This is off topic, but it would work as you expect it to work.
