Dedicated machine

Post by Montyben101 »

I have an old pc with an old 2005 AMD athlon processor. Sadly it has no GPU and gets about 1000 PPD on a good day. I do have an old 7800 GT so is there anyway this could be added to the white list type thing?

No. The 7800 Gt was never able to fold, so there are no versions of F@H you could go back to where it was capable of folding. It was with the next series, 8xxx, that Nvidia introduced unified shaders that can be programmed. The 7xxx has dedicated shaders for given tasks and can not be programmed to do folding.

It was current in 2005, discontinued in 2006, and lost driver support in 2013.
