Right now I have this project ignoring my 1060 and Collatz ignoring my 2080ti. I was thinking of using the 1060 for this project but I don't think it can take multiple tasks simultaneously very well. Is it possible to continue running 2 tasks on the 2080ti while running 1 task on the 1060 for this project? |

Only by writing an elaborate app_config file along with some adjustments to the cc_config file. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

The only way i know to run 2 WU on one GPU and 1 on the other (if both are Nvidia) and optimize the crunching process for each GPU simultaneusly is to run 2 separate instances of Boinc on the host. Each one optimized for each GPU model. ![]() |

My experience with Windows and my gtx 1060 3GB's shows it is more than twice as slow trying to run two gpu tasks. If you have a Gtx 1060 6GB it may have enough memory that it doesn't slow down. You might even get more total production on the 2080ti with 3 tasks. So you could run 3 for Seti and run 1 task for Collatz. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

The 1060 in my system has 6gb of memory. I'll have to try running 3 tasks on the 2080ti. Currently it's configured for .5cpu/.5gpu. |
