Do I need to finish my current WU that my cpu is working on before I enable my gpu's?

I cross-posted to the benching team and the AMD GPU section, hope that is alright.
Usage:
This is a still a very new core, a lot of the features have yet to be fully tested. Thus, as is the beta policy, no official support is given. You must enable the -beta flag on FAHClient, ie. set client-type=beta. If you’re using client 7.2.x or earlier, there are two options:
1. Specify -gpu-vendor=XXX, where XXX is either nvidia or ati
2. If -gpu-vendor is not specified, the core will automatically guess the platformId.
Otherwise, 7.3.6 lets you specify the particular -gpu-vendor as an option
Supported NVIDIA cards: Fermi or better (Titan does not work atm, as NVIDIA needs to publish new OpenCL drivers)
Supported ATI cards: HD5000 or better
As always, please use the latest drivers (Win XP is NOT supported due to super-old AMD drivers).
just added my 7970 to the mix, will see how it does. I didn't add the 'beta' tag first though so I will have to wait for this current one to finish me thinks.
running the 7.2.9 client right now so the gpu-vendor / ati tag didn't work, hope it doesn't matter.
-- edit deleted the gpu and re-added, just jumped 40k ppd.
Oh very nice!
I would not have thought they would fare so well still. Those are surprisingly strong cards in many areas.
if you want to try folding with all 4 cores...
Check out your PPD before and after.
Good Luck
