Hello...Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. If so, I have overlooked it.
I noticed this morning that my RAC has tailed off significantly recently, and when I checked BOINC Manager I noticed that I no longer appear to be running GPU work units.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I tend just to let BOINC run and ignore it, so I miss most of the actual news and important bits.

I am not getting any GPU tasks either. I am running on nVidia and I double-checked that BRP5 is enabled in my settings (I have had BRP5 tasks in the past, up to yesterday). According to the server stats there should be plenty of work. Any idea what is going on?
