So hi. I crunch for World Community Grid. I ran into a slight issue it seems. I have an ATI GPU (a Radeon HD 3850, to be exact) that I would like to solely run Milkway@home. However, after having setup BoincStats (it was a mess before and I wanted to merge my projects so my page displayed all of my work), Milkyway@home has been starting to run work units on the CPU. In short, a really bad thing for me. That deeply cuts into my WCG credit and is grossly inefficient. In short, 7 hour WU's on the CPU compared to the 10 minute WU's when using the GPU. This isn't really about maximizing BOINC credit, it's about maximizing WCG work while taking advantage of my graphics card.

So.... help?

How do I setup MW@h as GPU-only? Preferably using BAM...

You have to go to the Milkyway Project & in your Account/MilkyWay@home preferences/Edit MilkyWay@home preferences/ Uncheck >>> Use CPU & you shouldn't get CPU work from Milkyway anymore ... BAM sometimes changes settings at Projects without your knowing it, this is just one setting that BAM Changes to Use CPU, I had it happen to me a few weeks ago without me knowing it & I started getting CPU Work until I went to the Project and changed the Setting back to not get CPU Work ...
