Something wrong with claimed credit calculation on my machine.

It claims ~0.21 .. 0.23 (less than one) per task and get granted about 320 (more than 3 hundred)

Why is that ? What's wrong ? Is it a bug ?

No Bug, its just a by-product of the way BOINC works - which is necessarily imperfect in many areas of detail considering the vast combinations of hardware it has to deal with. This is just one example where it still struggles with the change to mainstream GPU computing, as there was - and in many areas of detail, still are - a vast array of code changes to accomodate the move from 10 years of mainly CPU Crunching. Just ignore it, its of no value and does not mean anything wrong is lurking around.
