I have not got any work for a long time and all i get for status message is: Not requesting tasks: don't need (CPU: blocked by project preferences; NVIDIA GPU: project is backed off)

Not requesting tasks ok..but project is backed off?
I can't get a clear explanation of that from the chatbots

And the other thing is...can the 1080 run the small LLM? the bot thinks it can.

No the 1080 Ti cannot run the sLLM tasks. They require cards with 16GB or more of memory.

Project is backed off messages come from the client, not the project. Just means that either communications with the project is not normal or that the client is too busy with other projects work and GPUGrid is way down the priority order due to more pressing deadlines from other projects/

But the 1080 should run still well here. just not the rare LLMs.

But the last times it was always "ATM: Free energy calculations of protein-ligand binding" so it should work.

I still have a 1070 running with 2 Workunits concurent in here.

I have a 1060; from time to time, I get "ATM: Free energy calculations of protein-ligand binding". I have given priority to GPU Grid; resource share 200. Eienstien resource share 5 to keep my computer busy if GPU Grid is feeling lazy. I wish there were more WUs available.
