EVGA Precision is showing that the GPU usage is only runing 0% to 4% on both video cards but it makes the cards come out of idle mode. Other projects like SETI and Prime are runing 90% to 95%.

Note: I been having problems with I belive is video drivers and been trying to fix it for a long time.

Software: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Video Drivers v197.45
CUDA v3.0 for BOINC use

ASUS Precision v1.9.1.

Hardware: ASUS P6T Deluxe 2.0 Mother Board
BIOS ver 1003 (03/08/2010)
i7-975 Extreme Edition 3.33GHz CPU
3 2GBs of RAM = 6GBs of Corsair Dominator 1600

Video slow way down problems

Unlike at Seti where CUDA tasks run wholly on the GPU, here at Einstein the ABP2 app is a hybrid application, which runs only the FFT calculations on the GPU and the other calculations on the CPU. A custom kernel to bring these to the GPU, too is still being worked on.

Ok now I got it, it's just wierd how that all works out. Now if they can make Precision show FFT usage on the GPU and another for the FFT usage on the CPU. If the programers can.
