Since the GPU I use is an nVidia 8600GT, I don't want BOINC using that, but I don't see how I could make the unused onboard GPU available to the program. Can anyone help? ID: 32451 ·

It doesn't support CAL. So you cannot have BOINC detect it or use it for anything else than 3D/OpenGL graphics. See the list of Radeon cards that can do. The minimum 3xx0 required is 3410.

The onboard GPU doesn't show in my Device Manager because it's not being used(I have no monitor plugged into it), however it is enabled in the system bios. Can someone point me where I can try to associate that GPU? ID: 32620 ·
