hi there
i have boinc 7.0.30 running on I7-2600K HT enabled, OS is W7-64.
i set the cpu-usage to 87,5% so it runs 7 cpu-tasks and one task on the gpu.
it works fine, but only if the gpu-task's cpu-usage is less then 1, if it is 1, only 6 cpu-tasks and 1gpu are active.
if i now set the cpu-usage to 100%, 7cpu and one 1gpu (with cpu-usage 1) tasks are active. but then comes a gpu-task with cpu-usage <1, and now 8cpu and 1gpu task's are active and everything slows down.
any idea? a new 'switch' in the settings: save 'n' cores for gpu?

hi there
i fixed the prob by using a app_info for poem@home and leave the cpu-usage at 87,5%, now all projects run with maximum performance. poem runs now 4 tasks on gpu with 0.5 cpu each. taskamger tells me a cpu load of ~95%
game on
