That's what I found too, which was disappointing to say the least. That's why I set FaH to run at a slightly higher priority.

Am not against doing BOINC stuff but splitting resources on a CPU is workable, on a GPU that just too complex and risks failure or at least slowdown of both projects. I've switched GPU to FaH only based on the previous post, so I've taken that onboard. Initially I had only split work on the CPU and...

I'll just do FaH then.

I decided to test this and can confirm they do work together side-by-side, so no issues.

If you do not get FAH work units for your GPU currently then BOINC also has GPU projects like https://www.gpugrid.net/ But they don't have COVID-19 projects as far as I know but only other medical research. That's good to know. Do you know if that'll play nicely with FaH if both try to do GPU WUs?

I've recently taken a renewed interest in Folding due to COVID-19, as I'm sure many others have too, and noticed quickly that I wasn't able to get WUs reliably. It's a lot better than it was (thanks FaH team!) but there are of course still times when no WUs are downloaded. I tested installing BOINC,...

Hello, I have folded in the past and my interest was rekindled after seeing the requests for help with COVID-19.
