Maximum Performance

Maximum Performance

I am new at GridRepublic/BOINC.  I would like to know how to set each of the preferences for maximum performance.  I have a new 'hot rod' and I would like to put it to work.  If I could be given the step-by-step configuration details, I would be a 'happy camper'!

Thank you.

Hi Carl,

What you can do to get the most out of your current system is to move the cpu % used to 100%.  If you are running the current GridRepublic or current PTP install you will only be using your CPU.  We are getting close to release a version for GridRepublic which can take advantage of your GPU as well.  If you run the BOINC client and did not do a protected install your GPU should be taken advantage if you joined projects that have GPU apps such as Einstein@home and a few others.

The instructions to find the preferences are oulined in our FAQ:
