    anyone tried running an APU or low end GPU on BOINC projects recently?

    i've trying to run my 2400G on Seti and Einstein (i queued up Milkyway, but it didn't download anything), and it appears that they're not really utilizing the GPU well... can't tell if this is "working as intended" or if i'm setting it up wrong or if it's underpowered for these applications...

    GPU-Z is showing 0-2% GPU use (Win10's GPU column in Task Manager mirrors this), tho the GPU portion of the APU is spending 60-70% of the time at 1000-1100MHz (the rest at like 300 or lower).

    anyone have any experience with low end GPUs or better yet APUs, especially recently? need halp... or to be told it can't be done...

    edit: kill-a-watt was showing bouncing between 96 and 105 watts with Seti and Einstein (up from 87-89). i'm assuming i should trust GPUZ *and* Task Manager showing under 1% GPU usage and chalk up the increased power consumption just being the GPU portion of the chip running at a higher clockspeed?
