What about deselecting your

What about deselecting your Intel GPU given that you get many many invalids from it?! That would allow you a second CPU task.

Check this setting too under Preferences, Computing, Project:

 

Other settings

Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available:
yes
no
GPU utilization factor of BRP apps:
DANGEROUS! Only touch this if you are absolutely sure of what you are doing! Wrong setting might even damage your computer! Use solely on your own risk! Default value: 1.0
GPU utilization factor of FGRP apps:
DANGEROUS! Only touch this if you are absolutely sure of what you are doing! Wrong setting might even damage your computer! Use solely on your own risk! Default value: 1.0
GPU utilization factor of GW apps:
DANGEROUS! Only touch this if you are absolutely sure of what you are doing! Wrong setting might even damage your computer! Use solely on your own risk! Default value: 1.0
 
You do NOT want the 0.50 in ANY of the boxes, they should all be 1.0, meaning only 1 workunit runs at any one time on any single device.
 
Also deselect the Intel workunits here:
Use CPU:
yes
no
Request CPU-only tasks from this project.
Use NVIDIA GPU:
yes
no
Request NVIDIA GPU tasks from this project.
Use ATI GPU:
yes
no
Request ATI GPU tasks from this project.
Use INTEL GPU:
yes
no
Request Intel GPU tasks from this project.
 
Make sure the Intel selection is NO. The ATI and Nvidia boxes can both be checked as it makes zero amount of difference, the Project will detect which you have and only send you the correct units for it.

Done.

I didn't see those invalids. It may be because of this double devices thing.

My GPU app's factors are all set to 1. I didn't change that since I started computing with this laptop.

Looking at the "client_state" file, I saw this:

<coproc_ati>

       <count>2</count>

                       .....

</coproc_ati>

and

<coproc_intel_gpu>

       <count>2</count>

                       .....

</coproc_intel_gpu>

 

Tried to change that to 1, but it keep changing back to 2. Even in read only mode.

 

I'll keep trying to fix this, since my RAC lowered a bit.

 

Many thanks to all of you

how many GPUs does GPU-Z show

how many GPUs does GPU-Z show by chance? For some reason BM thinks you have 2 of each.

GPU-Z is showing 1 GPU of each.

1 intel and 1 AMD

I think I've found a turnaround for this issue.

Using CC_config file, I excluded one of each GPU(device 0), and it's now running one taks at time.

Thanks everyone for your support.
