I seem to be unable to get any GPU tasks. According to the log, NVIDIA tasks are frequently requested but always turned down.
I am running Mac High Sierra with an NVIDEA GPU. How do I figure out where my problem is?
I get GPU tasks from einstein@home and milkyway@home without any problems, but no PrimeGrid tasks.
In your primegrid preferences there are few checkboxes at the top (Use ATI/AMD GPU, Use NVIDIA GPU), is the according one enabled?
My GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX and I enabled the "Use NVIDIA GPU" checkbox. I did not change my preferences since a long time. It worked for years without problems. I updated to the newest BOINC manager Version 7.8.6, but I still can't get any work for GPU from PrimeGrid. GPU tasks from einstein@home work fine.
A few days before my BOINC Manager couldn't connect to the BOINC client anymore. I had to uninstall BOINC and delete all files related to BOINC. I reinstalled BOINC and now it's running again, but I don't get any GPU tasks from Primegrid now. I was running genefer19 tasks for a long time without any problems. The preferences are the same (no restrictions for GPU).
I tested a GPU task from einstein@home, it's running fine.

Any idea, what's the problem?
I guess you're right, Michael. There was something else running, maybe associated with the OS update. I checked the activity monitor yesterday, but I could not find anything suspicious. Over the last night the runtimes of the GNF-19 tasks went down without doing anything and are the same now as before the OS update. Thank you and Yves for your support.
I updated my iMac from OS X El Capitan to macOS Sierra 10.12.6 yesterday. Since then the runtime for GFN-19 tasks increased from 3.45 h to 5.5 h. I used the newest CUDA driver before the update already.
Any ideas what could be the reason for that?
300 million. Crunching 6 years 10 months on a single iMac.
