Hallo ,

my Question!
I have now the GForce 9800 GT Card.
In the Bonic Manager ( Status Field ) can I read
" Aktiv (0.03 CPUs, 1 CUDA )!
What means 0.03 CPUS

Thanks!

The GPU uses part of one CPU at all times. Please read the CUDA FAQ.

I have 9800gtx+ and see "0.04" Unfortunately, it is necessary to set the number of cpu's being used to less than 100% as sharing one cpu causes the seti beta wu's to take up to 10 hours to finish. With a dedicated cpu a seti wu takes 20 minutes or less on my Q6700 system.

OTOH when running gpugrid, the it makes no difference so I manually set the number of cpu's back to 100% when I switch back to gpugrid.
