What is not clear is if the FFT upgrade will speed up non- instinct GPU's like the ones most of us here use.

I recently re-started my Windows/Ryzen 5700G system.  And started experimenting with the "dinky" iGpu.

I am running the All-Sky GW application on it.  The GPU load was running maybe 70% with 1 task.  I have bumped it to two tasks which pretty much loads the GPU up.  It looks like I will get a bump in the RAC for e@h with no issues.

However:

I am pretty sure that the CPU crunching is running slower now. 

I believe I had the same results with Ryzen 2200G cpu's and certainly with the more elderly Intel iGpu's I have played with.

It probably has to do with using non-gpu ram on the gpus.  (my understanding is that iGpu's share the regular MB ram rather than their own separate ram like a discreet GPU does.)

Just mumbling along. 

That "dinky igpu" is part of the cpu, so any crunching with it will affect your cpu crunching. You are doing what we used to do back in the days before the Boinc software supported stand alone gpu's, and are seeing WHY we crunchers were SOOOOOO happy when it happened.
