I just found this news item that NVidia are banning the use of GTX and Titan GPU products within data centers...

At first I thought this might have a "knock-on" effect for BOINC, until I found the caveat:
So, with luck, project uses of GTX/Titans within their own "research labs" will be let off...and "non-commercial use" (ie crunchers running BOINC) are OK too...Nvidia claimed it does not plan to ban non-commercial uses and research.
“We recognize that researchers often adapt GeForce and TITAN products for non-commercial uses or their other research uses that do not operate at data center scale. NVIDIA does not intend to prohibit such uses,” a spokesperson for the California chip architects said.
Phew !!
