Can you configure GPU work only?

[uclajd]

I have a pretty robust RTX 2080 mobile I'd like to dedicate to FAH, just not the CPU (using for other BOINC projects). I tried do delete the CPU slot but it keeps adding one and downloading work units.

And if there are no work units available, "work unit" will just be blank Web control, right?

Welcome to the F@H Forum uclajd,

The reason the CPU Slot "spawns" is because FAHControl needs to have a Slot (CPU or GPU) so by default it adds one. However, you can workaround by first adding a GPU Slot and then once it is operational, remove the CPU Slot once it has finished the WU. Your Nvidia GPU would need a single CPU dedicated to it while GPU is folding so you may needs to adjust the BOINC settings. If you would like specific guidelines, please post your log file, guidance is provided here: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036

I am not sure how Web Control responds when there's no WUs available. Can you please post a picture here (you need to host is on a third party site and then paste the link here).

Did I post it right?

Think it's working properly now that that first work unit has completed. It doesn't show a CPU:

You did post the configuration of the log but skipped the system section which is from the start of the file until the configuration which you have posted

I noticed that you don't have a passkey configured. It is recommended to use one for security reasons and bonus points. Here's an article for you to decide: https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/
