With the EaH tasks taking a full GPU *AND* a full CPU that makes is far less suitable as a GPU project ...
I know some are working on that and the next cycle should improve the GPU usage (which is also very low, another point against its use) so the GPU is used more heavily and the CPU less so... I am not sure where the GPU "cut-off" is for EaH meaning I am not at all sure that the GT120 will be usable there... Thus my point, the easiest place to try is Collatz where almost all GPUs are usable, and the best people to assist hang out as well ...
