Yeah, the whole boinc thing is much more complicated than Foldingathome.
No need there for running multiple tasks at once, as each task/WU, ballasts each GPU nearly 100%.
In my case, I have several PCs. It wouldn't matter if you saw my PCs, as I am going through test phases, and probably will have a good 10 listed, though only 1 or 2 are active at a time.
I know I can choose one setting for home, one for work, etc... but even my own PCs change their GPUs regularly; which is why I haven't given the 0.x tasks per GPU a thought yet.
The ~80W reference was to this post you posted in this thread:
At some point I might be ready for it, but I also have a family to feed and spend time with. So multi task GPU study will come soon for me.
What gets me, is that x-amount of tasks per GPU is different from GPU to GPU. And even from project to project.
It takes a lot of work, and a dedicated system to run all the tasks constantly on one GPU.
Once the system is stable, the project goes down, and you'll have to start again with another project.
And it works easier if you have a set of identical GPUs per PC. If the GPUs are different, the app_config.xml file needs more coding..
I stopped using Xeon CPUs, as they're not as efficient as a GPU.
Perhaps one day when all GPU projects are done, I'll fire up the old Xeon again...
