Hello, I have installed my new AMD radeon RX 7900 XTX, but there coming no new Tasks. Is the Videocard not supported?

The reported information on your system shows no GPU.
If BOINC can't find it, it can't use it.


Exit BOINC, wait 20sec or so, then restart it. Check in the Event log (Tools, Event log) for an entry similar to this one.
22/07/2025 19:31:11 |  | OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (driver version 566.36, device version OpenCL 3.0 CUDA, 16375MB, 16375MB available, 53146 GFLOPS peak)

If it's not there, try re-installing the latest video driver (Activity, Suspend in BOINC Manager first to avoid messing up any current work). Re-boot to be sure.
Check with GPU-Z or similar that the driver is installed and Open CL is supported.

If so, restart BOINC (if not already running), and check the event viewer for the OpenCL entry with your video card in it.
If that's good, then re-enable BOINC processing (Activity, Resume).
Select Numberfields in the project list and Update. Hopefully work should start flowing.

It would be worth running GPU-Z and checking what the GPU load is.

Running 1 Task at a time on my systems resulted in less than 50% GPU load.
On my RTX 4070Ti Super, running 2 Tasks at a time results in close to 100% load. On my RTX 4080Super, running 3 Tasks at a time results in just under 100% load.
While the time to process the Tasks is longer, the total number of Tasks processed each day is actually higher than doing just one at a time.
