It’s that time of year again where I startup a number of new machines using BOINC, where I’m OK with the additional ambient heating. I installed BOINC on a machine that has an Intel motherboard GPU (Raptor Lake-H/P/PX 80/96E) and a 13th gen Intel Core i7-13700H CPU (more issues in another thread).

The problem is this… Milkway will NOT download work units if any non-Intel GPU’s are selected in the preferences. Disabling GPU work units in the Milkway preferences does NOT help.

The work-around was to remove check marks from both Nvidea and AMD GPU’s and then reconnect and download CPU work units. This is OK for now but more functionality is needed for my other machines that do have Nvidea GPU’s. Ideally, this would be handled with separate preferences by specific machine. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be an available option in BOINC.

MilkyWay NO LONGER HAS any gpu tasks to give out so selecting any gpu option is immaterial. They stopped them a few months ago and ONLY give out cpu tasks right now.
