Hi, could you pls manage that only 80-90% of the GPU is used like GPUGRID does? I can´t watch YT when 100% is used :(
Right @ the moment I have to block your projects when I want to watch Netflix or YouTube... that´s a waste of GPU-Power for you :(

Each project is different, some people want the near 100% usage, others like you want it a bit less. Boinc is designed to run when you aren't using the pc, you are not running it that way, neither are most people btw.

It's noted on the BOINC client that running on the GPU while the computer is in use may cause graphics issues. The GPU is not a CPU. It's not intended to be used like that. It's like playing a 3D game and trying to watch a video at the same time. You COULD but it doesn't mean you SHOULD. ;)
