Hello hajen1,

Nodes can utilize GPU. By default settings specified via GUI are used, but alos you can use --opencl_gpu_mask and --opencl_cpu_cores_inactive keys when running nodes from command line.

thanx for a fast reply..

a nother Q on GPU

in the manual it states that for every GPU i should disable one CPU..

i have a lowend GTX 660 (2gb) and it states that there are 5 cores!

is the "GPU" the physical card (1).. or the number of cores? (5) as in i should disable 1 CPU core for every 1 GPU core

cind of a noob here.. :)

Hello hajen1,

one CPU core should be disabled per OpenCL device used irrespective to the number of cores on GPU.
