One of my hosts have 2 GPUs. I'd like to set BOINC such as 1 GPU is used when I'm using the computer, 2 GPUs are used when I'm AFK.
I had a look at the list of options for cc_config.xml (http://128.32.18.189/wiki/Client_configuration#Options) but didn't find any option to do that.

Any idea?

Right now I don't think that is Possible, you can use 0 or 1 or 2 & even select which one to use if you only want to use 1 but I don't belive the Options are there to use 1 when in use & 2 when not in use ...

Maybe that could be a feature request for a future release of Boinc?

You can set up your Computer to use 1 or use 2 When Computer is not in use & then 0 when Computer is in use but there's just no way now to set it up to use 1 when in use & 2 when not in use unless your some sort of Script Guru ...

Bertodell,

I just proposed that in the BOINC developer's forum here.

Thanks.
