a few weeks ago, I was asking here in the forum whether a RTX3070 will work with the WCG GPU tasks. The answer was "yes".
Today, I bought a PC with two GTX3070 inside, I installed BOINC and attached to WCG, used the same settings for GPU work which I am using for currently two other PCs, and when I try to download GPU tasks, the BOINC event log shows "NVIDIA GPU: GPUs not usable" how come? |

Please post the whole event long, first 60 lines or so.
----------------------------------------I believe I saw something with this same message "GPUs not usable" recently. Are you using remote desktop? AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Please post the whole event long, first 60 lines or so. I believe I saw something with this same message "GPUs not usable" recently. Are you using remote desktop? first part of my reply right away: YES, I am using remote desktop. When I stop the Remote connection and work directly, this remark is no longer shown. Strange though, isn't it? Normally, I work with Remote, it's more practical here. Which now means whenever there is the Remote connection, now WCG GPU tasks can be downloaded. Why so?

I asked because I did a quick search and found the same error on a Milkyway@home thread and the replies seemed to indicate that Remote Desktop was the culprit.

@Falconet: thanks anyway for the valuable hint. So at least I now know what the situation is.

Remote Desktop hooks into the GPU and takes it away from BOINC.
----------------------------------------You have to stop using it. There’s no other solution. Use something else like VNC. Or just interface with the system directly.

Or just interface with the system directly. thanks for the explanation. So now I know. Remote Desktop would make things easier, but I can also hook to the system directly, if there is no other way. Would just be great if there were more GPU tasks available  P.S. Folding@Home and MLC@Home are working via Remote Desktop. So this problem I am facing seems to be WCG-specific, for what reason ever.

No, RDP stops always GPU-using with Windows-OS under Boinc.

For checking into the remote system to see how BOINC is doing, consider using BoincTasks instead.
