[PrimeGrid] New Subproject!

[BOINC_News]

For the first time in a while, we have a new subproject: the Wieferich and Wall-Sun-Sun Prime Search! To participate, edit your project preferences. The app is available for GPU and CPU. Note: there may be severe screen lag on the GPU Mac version. We are aware and a fix will be out soon. See this forum thread for more information about the search.

Regarding Wall-Sun-Sun-Dirt Floor-Thatched Roof-Moon-Rainbow-Waterfall, I thought some performance metrics would be in order, on 'old' hardware.

GTX1070 - about 35 minutes for 12,000 points
GTX1080Ti - about 19.5 minutes
RTX2080 - about 9.5 minutes (Win10)
RTX2080Ti - about 6.5 minutes (Win10)

I have noticed significant differences between cards before, of course, but this is the first time I have taken a moment to record it. Needless to say, I will be retiring my 1070's soon. They are still great for gaming, you know, like 3D gaming....but we play a different type of game here.

Those of you who have RTX3000 series cards, add to the list please. AMD RX6000 cards are welcome as well...
