Sounds like you are wringing as much as you can out of that cpu.  Remember you need 1-2 threads to handle the system background processes.

The gpu application is what determines how much cpu it needs to drive the gpu computation, so project relative.

If running the same gpu application, you would more than likely still only use two fully occupied threads but just run the tasks faster on the faster upgraded gpu. You current card only has 2GB of VRAM so you are limited to just one task at a time.  A newer, upgraded card would likely have more memory so you could run two tasks at a time, but that would require more cpu support which you really don't have with just 4 threads.

Think a upgrade would require both the cpu and gpu.

I like to hear that!!! i want to use every single CPU cycle possible!!! 

I found today, at a very good price, a Nvidia Quadro 4000 2GB GDDR5. Im thinking in replacing the HD7750 with that Quadro, it has almost 5x the FP64 performance and my PSU can handle it. The bottleneck calculator show the CPU and GPU will run both at 100%. Is it a good idea? Would that GPU run Einstein applications on Debian?

It's too old to run on the necessary drivers to use the latest and fastest 1.28 gpu application. Which requires OpenCL 2.0 level API and 470 series drivers or better.  But it can run the older, slower 1.22 application. Still should be faster than the old ATI card you currently have.

I am a Scot and I don't recall any Scots in history being stubborn to bad effect.  Oh her.  You mean Jimmie Krankie?  Yeah she has to go.

Contrarywise, it is you that wants to dictate what we talk about in here.  The rest of us just get on with life.

I remember some stubborn Scot they 'tore asunder' and sent his parts all over England to prove a point, I think his name was Mel Gibson or something like that. :-))

With Universe at Home jammed

With Universe at Home jammed up so I can't upload and I can't get any tasks.

What else can I throw a cpu server at?

PrimeGrid is working Ok but not using all the available cores

LHC@Home is throwing computation errors on the "native" apps I have downloaded.

Something happened and caused the 3950x system to reboot.

I am reluctant to install Oracles Virtual Machine.

What else out there can I put on or near zero resource and keep my poor lonely 3950x busy?

====edit===

And it just rebooted again running only PrimeGrid and E@H gpu.  Have just dropped everything to "optimized" aka: defaults to see if it still reboots.

It is not listed as a BOINC project?

Universe is my fault.  Me and my team are hammering it for the boinc pentathlon.  It can keep up, he just upgraded the server to SSDs.  Just leave your computer retrying, you'll get something soon.  I've got 9 computers running 96 cores on it, there's only a queue of about 20 tasks uploading. A bunch goes through every so often.
