Only using GPU...?

Post by hunterjwizzard »

Hey folks,

Completely new to this, not entirely sure what is going on, but I have the client on 2 computers now(of 5 total am spinning up today). On one machine, it seems to only be using the GPU, and on the other only the CPU. Does this seem normal?

Odder still on the one only showing GPU usage in the control panel, the CPU is still burning at 60% on average.

I have both systems set to "full power" and "while I'm working"(since I'm basically setting both aside to do this). Is there anything else I need to do to get all available power dedicated to this process?

There is currently a general shortage of workunits due to the overwhelming number of new users to F@h that have come to help fight the COVID-19 WuFlu. The research teams are currently spinning up new servers and getting more work into the queue. I suspect that everything is set up correctly, but the software is just unable to find available work. I'd recommend just leaving everything running as the situation is likely to clear up soon.
F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.

Ahh ok. Yeah that's probably all that's going on. I'm using fairly typical gaming/desktop PCs, just wanted to make sure I was at least ready to help.

THanks!
