7.3.6 mis-identifies GT 610 (GF119) as GF116

[coredump4]

As the title says, I've got a Zotac GT 610 PCI card who's GPU is mis-identified. FAH knows the card is a GT 610, it just claims the GPU is a GF116 when in actuality, GT 610's are GF119. Since the GF116 has either 144 or 192 cores to the GF119's 48 cores, this probably impacts the WUs assigned to the 610 and probably hoses bonus calculations (if any) for this card as well. Aside from that, it otherwise folds fine.

From the logs:

Code: Select all

I'm mentioning this since 7.1.x and 7.2.x had the same issue, and I was hoping 7.3 would fix it, but not yet.

thanks!

The text displayed is entirely cosmetic and will not affect how folding operates.

[coredump4]

Thanks for the info!

Work units would be the same as well.

Even though it's a cosmetic issue, I'll move this topic to the Whitelist forum which is were changes are requested.

Bonus calculations are based entirely on time taken to process, and that's dependent on the real hardware, not some whitelist entry that allows WUs to be assigned.

Oh one more follow-up is that I see this behavior for ION GPUs as well. They are identified as "C?? [ION]", which would seem to say FAHclient can't identify the chipset. Then the IONs only get assigned Projects in the 57xx range; is this intentional or a sign that it can't identify the GPU's capabilities?

Again, the text description is cosmetic to how the card performs. It could say "Tom, Dick, and Harry GPU" and it would fold the same.

If you posted the device id for that ION, the text descriptions could be updated at the same time as the GT610.
