question about the new gpu2 client

Post by ViPeR.Ja »

hi guys
i just recently installed the gpu2 client and i have two questions:
1. the client seems to be using 50% of my cpu is that normal?
2. when i open the viewer it starts from 0, so my question is when the viewer is not open does that mean the cpu is being used?
Dell Sucks.... In my opinion anyways

As I know it take a whole core of the cpu to power it, so if you got a dual core it should be 50 %. With mine it's even more aout 70% of each core. It still uses the cpu if the viewer isn't open.

Does the amount of Ram also affect performance? I only ask as I havent seen my cpu cores go up much higher than 20-25% when running this ..i've seen it go up to 30% but not much higher..I see it go up to 100% both cores when the display is used lol..but i dont use that..So I thought id ask

Its a bug in the software, on XP it seems to use 100% of one core, and on vista, hardly anything.

They are working on getting it sorted so that the GPU client barely uses any CPU resources and is just 100% GPU.
