Hi,

While waiting for the project to allow you to choose the applications worked on.
If your graphics card is much faster in CUDA but the project only sends you OpenCL. If Link's solutions scare you (thanks a lot anyway).

You can use <no_opencl> in your cc_config.

<cc_config>
   <options>
	<no_opencl>1</no_opencl>
   </options>
</cc_config>

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration

This will disable OpenCL calculation and the project will send you Cuda.[/url]

Yes, it's a lot easier if you want to have CUDA only, but IIRC everyone, whom I had to scare with my solutions ( :D ) wanted the OpenCL application as that seems to be faster on pretty much any OpenCL 1.1+ capable card and there's no similarly nice solution to disable CUDA.

Also keep in mind, that this entry disables OpenCL for all BOINC projects, so make sure you don't forget, that you have set it like I once forgot that I have <no_alt_platform> active and couldn't understand why Einstein isn't sending me any FGRP5 work.

Hi,
Now that I'm running CUDA, I realize that, with a 3080 Ti in CUDA, I'm going to do less work than with an RX 6750 XT in OpenCL (it's really less powerful).
I pass a unit in 300s. in Cuda. Another cruncher with a 3080 works a unit in 200s in OpenCL, my card passed a few units in OpenCL in 2 hours each with all drivers up to date.

Mine : https://moowrap.net/result.php?resultid=209133416
line 13 : See my systeme at 32bits, (Windows and Boinc are 64), other 7950X in OpenCL have this.
line 14 : Tag my GPU as a AMD iGPU (that I have one like this, but only Nvidia is checked in settings and it's the nvidia app launched)

Since I'm the only one with this issue I'll reinstall Windows (And erased the traces of my old GPU).

Probably it's enough if you clean up all AMD drivers and eventually reset Moo!, unlikely that you need to reinstall Windows for that.
