F@H + BOINC on one PC

So im trying to make the most out of my PC right now. I would rather have my CPU and two different GPU's all folding, but F@H doesnt like my AMD card with my Nvidia card. So, I wanna use my 270X to BOINC and my GTX 1060 to fold. What are the best setting for this? ATM i have the AMD card gone from F@H, the issue is getting just the AMD card in BOINC and allocating CPU usage accordingly.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks

From what I've seen, BOINC doesn't really have any projects that can leverage an AMD GPU. I'm having issues getting my 370 to fold, it just keeps kicking out projects but I think I can get it working in another PC but I need a better power supply.

 

You would be best off trying to get just the AMD card and a little over half the CPU folding and put the 1060 on BIONC workloads.

You can use prime grid to leverage AMD GPUS. You can see a almost up to date list here to see the various projects, but I highly suggest running GFN15 or PPS work units on primegrid.

There some BOINC projects that work with AMD cards.

Both F@H and BOINC can be up at the same time.  Just have to change the cc_config file to not use the other card if you only want BOINC to have access to just the AMD card.
