Can you put GPU and CPU in their separate resource groups?
...
Mildly interesting observation; after splitting cpu and gpu into different resource groups, the info page of GPU WUs show them using 0 CPUs while on default group it showed them using 1. I assume it still uses the one logical cpu core per gpu.
If it is showing 1 CPU on default, go to settings, click on default group, and put the slider to 0 (zero).

It must show zero CPUs in every group, except CPU related group.

User must not assign CPU cores manually to the GPUs. User must just leave free cores for the GPU. Free means unused by anything FAH related.
So if a user has 16 CPU threads and 1 GPU on the PC, CPU group should have the slider set to 14 or 15, leaving 1-2 threads free for the GPU to use. GPU group should have the slider set to zero.
If user has 16 CPU threads and 2 GPUs on that system, CPU group should have slider set at 12 or 14 (leaving 2-4 threads free for the GPUs), while both GPU groups must have sliders set to zero.

The reason I mention 1-2 and 2-4 threads left for GPU is that some might argue that 1 virtual thread per GPU might not be enough, and performance hit might be significant, so 1 real core (2 threads) could be better. This is on AMD, more than nVidia, since nvidia users just don't fold on CPUs, as it takes away performance from GPU.

Yeah I mean before doing the segregation of resources, when both were in the default group, I had 29 CPUs and and one GPU, enabled. The info page on WUs used to show "CPUs 28 / GPUs none" (for CPU core WUs) and "CPUs 1 / GPUs gfx1100" on GPU one. Now after the splitting it's 29 and 0. https://drive.proton.me/urls/B605KR4KD4#36FjKRJz3h5U
