Right, you can run both GW and pulsar GPU tasks simultaneously on a card, but they will slow either other down, so it is not an efficient approach.
While also true that GW CPU tasks are inefficient compared to GW GPU, you can run pulsar FGRBPG1 tasks on your GPU while running GW tasks on the CPU as a way to contribute directly to GW analysis, if that's important to you. One GW CPU task will keep one thread/core fully occupied. I have set my host up to do this at times, but my CPU resources are limited and it generates a bit more heat (~20W per CPU task on my system), so I don't double up that way in the summer months (or if I'm feeling miserly).

YES it does!!! I'm at the point now where I'm trying to figure out which Project to run but have too many choices to make!! I have 15pc's running now and some can run this Project but not that Project while others can't run either of those. I'm also on a Team and trying not to pass my Teammates, just because I can, so that adds into things too. I will pass them if they quit a Project but not if they are actively crunching it, I believe in the axiom 'just because you can doesn't mean you should'.

Agreed, apart from the teammate thing, I don't get why you wouldn't want to pass them. A team in formula 1 could have one driver passing another. If one can win the race and beat other teams, then they have to pass the rest of their own team first.

Calling all volunteers! Now

Calling all volunteers! Now is the time to jump into GW GPU crunching because the current batch of GW GPU VelaJr1 tasks can be run rather quickly. An RX570 at 3x (gpu utilization factor of 0.33) has average task times of 11 to 9 minutes, while a GTX-1080 or RTX-2080 can get one done in 7-8 min. As discussed in that linked forum, a paucity of hosts running those tasks is resulting in those that are not (yet) being assigned a wingman to provide a quorum of two to validate the tasks. At least that's the case for me with my growing "Pending" list.

Yes my pending list is predominantly those Velajr1 task awaiting a wingman.
Sorry I don't have many 4GB

Sorry I don't have many 4GB cards (just one and it takes half an hour to do a gravity). I've got it set to take whatever the server gives me (and the 3GB cards to gamma only). Why is it if there are so many gravities to do that I get loads of gammas on it?

Oh I could easily pass any of them but that's not being a good TEAMmate, they earned their spot at that Project and why should I knock them off it just because I can. One teammate had over 20 million at one project while I had 3.5 million, 3 weeks later I had over 10 million and stopped. I did pass another teammate at another project during a challenge but then stopped and let him pas me back again after it was over, I passed him in under 4 days. At Collatz if I put every gpu I have on it I get close to to 60 million credits per day.
PS i also like F1!!!
