Okay folks, the problem is, that I will only run SETI at CUDA and the processor should do Einstein@home. I have installed the the package from Raimster and now SETI downloaded work. But now BOINC-Manager does only work on one core for E@H and one SETI task runs. Normally it should run 2 E@H-task and one SETI-task on GPU. What do I have to do? I am using BOINC-Manager 6.6.18.

You just need a Cuda only app_info, Raistmer's V10/V11 app can be run standalone without the team part.

Here's a Cuda only app info using Raistmer's V11 app, you'll need to put in your own GPU flops figure, get it from the Boinc messages log and Don't forget all the extra zeroes seeing as its in gigaflops.

Sorry, you've got to Multiply that figure by 0.2

My 9800GTX+ was 87 Est.Gflops, ie 87 000 000 000 * 0.2 = 17 400 000 000

see MarkJ's app_info thread
