From the BOINC FAQ Service CUDA &GPU post,

"In BOINC 6.6 (and above) you have the option to deselect the GPU through your cc_config.xml file. In this case add <no_gpus>1</no_gpus> to the <options> section of the cc_config.xml file. You must exit and restart BOINC for this option to be of effect. A simple re-read of the config file won't disable the GPU.

Code:
<cc_config>
<options>
<no_gpus>1</no_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

I am running 6.6.38 and want to find this file.Where is this file cc_config.xml located? I tried C:\BOINC and C:\Program Data\BOINC.

Thanks.

It's in the second location.
Or it should be, AFTER you create it. :)

If you read the FAQ anyway, why skip over the part of Using a cc_config.xml file? I am pointing to the other FAQs for how to set up a cc_config.xml file and what the default paths are for your BOINC Data directory.

Sek-

I am not doing it on the machine I have with me, a Vista machine which does quite nicely with no problems. All of the problems are on the new machine with Win 7 64bit and the I7-920 processor. I am just trying to learn as much as I can, for me this stuff is very deep.
