Well, in theory BOINC obeys project shares :P Yes, here good theory too. In practice there are ATI platform and NV platform. ATI platform supports CPU anf ATI GPUs, NV - NV GPUs. Yes, they both could be used, but until someone shows that in reality.... Even ATI's own SKA 1.5 crashed until I removed NV's OpenCL.DLL from system32 dir.
