Primegrid (through Boinc) normally behaves (I have 8 machines). On one machine, over several days, the GPU usage slowly climbs. A reboot is the only way I've found to clear it. Wanting to know the cause, I installed process hacker. But after closing BOINC, I see in MSI Afterburner the GPU RAM is still heavily used, yet process hacker can't see what program it belongs to. Where is it being used?
