    Have 2 PC's new to crunching EH.
    Boinc Client 6.10.60 on one and 6.10.58 on the other. Both clients have Do NOT use GPU checked (or unchecked can't remember - not in front of the PC's now). And EH preferences on the Web set for do not use Nvidia GPU.

    But both of these PC's keep requesting GPU work :-

    These started off being repeated every 5 minutes but then backed off to every 30 minutes and look to be about every hour now.
    Is there a setting I've missed or will this right itself in due course ?

    Cheers

      The only thing you've missed is the "NVIDIA" in the preference label of "Use NVIDIA GPU no" ;-)

      Since Einstein@home doesn't have any application for ATi GPUs, it also lacks the corresponding preference.

      So, yes, it will "right" itself in due course, in that the frequence of the requests will be reduced to once in 24 hours.

        Thanks Gundolf,

        Its fixed itself - nothing done from this side.

        Should really have just left it alone and not posted the first message :)

        I've found some messages on

          I've found some messages on various BOINC projects say that the current versions of BOINC don't offer any way to fully stop them from asking for workunits of all three types (CPU, Nvidia GPU, and AMD/ATI GPU), if the computer has those resources. However, BOINC projects with sufficiently recent versions of the BOINC server software can send back a response say wait for up to nearly a week before asking that BOINC project for any workunits of that type again.
