Since I have been fascinated with Intel's attempts to get into the dedicated GPU market, I just had to have one. I do some gaming, so I can always use it for that or a home theater pc. The idea of an all-Intel build is tempting.
I installed my Arc a770 and had a few issues with freezing. I set everything back to single GPU (Arc a770) and duplicated the app_config.xml listed on the previous posts. I reset the project and I will see how things go.
What is interesting is when first installed, it ripped through tasks in less than a minute. But after I started messing around it started getting the 89% freezing issue (where it reaches 89% in a minute then spends 15 minutes to complete the task). Even worse, it would freeze the desktop.

Hopefully, I am back to something more reliable.
The 89% issue is only on the gamma ray tasks. and it's because the Arc A750/770/380 all have no FP64 support, and FP64 calculations are performed at the 90-100% stage.
you can relieve this issue by turning off the gamma ray #1 work in your project preferences and only run BRP4
I reverted to no app_config as it was freezing the GPU.
It seemed to work for a while, then I had GPu freezing and tasks not progressing and computer freezing.
I tried several things and the only one that fixed it was just removing the app_config, reading the app_config, aborting the GPU tasks, and getting fresh tasks.

You don't have to. I didn't

You don't have to. I didn't buy any :)
This is why I made this topic - to know if Intel Arc is good for BOINC only.
Of course as a test this is great to have one, but not for crunching only.
Anyway I appreciate somebody bought it and tested.

My build is dedicated to crunching, and it seems decent so far :)

You are certainly popping out the tasks at under 60 seconds each!!! That is a WHOLE LOT faster than what an R-Pi can do them in!!

On my Raspberry Pi (2/3/3B+) and ZeroPI (raspberry zero), they take several hours I believe :)
I have to check how the Nvidia jetson nano does.

That's not

That's not freezing
That's the Double Precision part of the WU, since the Intel arc don't have FP64, these last 10% take more time
