Currently i am running the Windows client of the BOINC manager v 6.6.38 with use of the GPU to process work.

The graphics display is not possible when the GPU is in use for processing work in BOINC.

Will there be a new version to fix this, because when i disable the use of the GPU, graphics display works..

Isnt it possible to display graphics and use the GPU for work processing?!

Or is this a minor bug in the program?

GPU = Graphics Processing Unit
In other words, the processors on the graphics display card.

You can use the card for crunching, OR you can use it for displaying.
Pick one.

On top of that, most projects don't give out the separate graphics application with the CUDA (and ATI) applications, just because the GPU is used for the calculations. You really don't want to do anything GPU intensive when CUDA (or ATI CAL) is running.

For more information, please read my FAQ on these things.
