As title. Should i turn off the CPU or are there CPU only tasks? What i don't want is to crunch with my CPU something that is available for GPU. I want to use my CPU when it's the only supported one. Can you guys clarify how does it work on this project? |

This project is CPU only since a while, as you can see on the applications page, there are no applications for GPUs.

Thank you for the clarification. I was confused by the options "Use ATI GPU" and "Use NVIDIA GPU" in the preferences. |

You are not the only one, they should have either hidden those options as long as there are no GPU apps or add a warning, that there are currently no apps in case they want to keep those options for future use.
