Morning, I have noticed that on a couple of my machines MW@home is now utilising the GPU's, either those built into the processor or the dedicated cards installed.

I have checked settings - I have been DCing since April 1999 so klnow what to look for here, I have checked the PC setting, local and other preferences, all have GPU's enabled...but it simply uses all 6 CPU's at once and refuses to use the GPU's??

Any ideas?

Two things to check...uncheck the cpu units and see if you get gpu units and check that any recent updates didn't wipe out the gpu drivers. Your pc's are hidden so I can't check the 2nd.
