Hello harvid,

You need to check on the corresponding line in the OpenCL tab of PhotoScan Preferences window.

I found it  :D
I read somewhere, that I have to turn one cpu core off, so the GPU could be running on a Constant load.
How do I do that ? is it a feature inside Photoscann

Inside PhotoScan, same dialog as Alexey mentioned:

Tools/ Preferences/ OpenCL tab
there you turn the slider "active CPU cores" to one step to the left (for example to 7/8)
