For as long as I can remember, I've been limited, as others have, to 200 WU's, usually 100 for cpu and 100 for gpu. It's never bothered me. Now normally my pc gets turned off around midnight each day, and back on around 8-9am each morning.
Last night, I left "allow new tasks" on, this morning, after powering up, Boinc downloaded an additional 100 WU's, so now I have 300 instead of 200. Have the limits changed to allow 300 from now on?

It's 100 tasks per GPU now, rather 100 tasks for the GPU(s).

Ok, but my Intel chip has never been used by Boinc, so effectively
I have only one gpu, the ATI card. C'est la vie I guess ;-)

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah it is kind of a bonus for some in that way. It has happened because of some kind of error in a fix they were trying to implement for BOINC. Which was intended to limit each type of GPU to the designated task limit.

Ok, now I'm getting confused. Phil states that his iGPU is not being used, but BOINC recognizes it. I have a 4770K w/ a HD4600 iGPU, which BOINC does not recognize. BTW, it is explicitly set 'Use Intel GPU No' in my project preferences in my account.

So long as BOINC detects the iGPU it will increase the GPU task limit by 100. Changing "Use xxx GPU" has no effect on the limit. It is something else that we noted as broken when this change was implemented.
The GPU not being used would have to be disabled in BIOS or BOINC would have to be told to ignore it, via cc_config.xml, to not be included in the limit calculation.

On my i5-4670K systems I had to use <ignore_ati_dev>0</ignore_ati_dev> if I wanted BOINC to only consider my iGPU for task limit. However this presented issues for me. As I am using a version of BOINC that does not officially support iGPUs.

Oddly. though Boinc recognises the iGPU as CL compliant, it doesn't run tasks for it. Is it because Lunatics doesn't support iGPU?

The most recent Lunatics bundle was released before the release of the Intel GPU application. So you'll need to manually integrate it into your app_info.xml if you want to use the Intel GPU as well.
