Ubuntu 18.04, Nvidia NVS 295 Still Supported?

Post by Dravor »

Hi All,

I'm running n NVS 295, with 7.6.9 and tried it with 7.6.10 and the GPU keeps connecting to 192.0.2.1. I've read this sometimes means the GPU isn't support, but yet the GPU is on the whitelist still.

Code: Select all

07:39:37:WU00:FS01:Assigned to work server 192.0.2.1
07:39:37:WU00:FS01:Requesting new work unit for slot 01: READY gpu:0:G98 [Quadro NVS 295] from 192.0.2.1

Any way to know if it is truly supported or not?

Code: Select all

Unfortunately, Quadro NVS 295 is not supported as it lacks OpenCL 1.2 and Double Precision: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/q ... -295.c1450 :(

Thanks Panther, that's what I figured, but I still saw it listed in the GPUs.txt file and just hoped =)

The GPUs.txt is a grey list, it contains GPUs that are supported (whitelist) and also GPUs that are not supported (blacklist). If a GPU isn't in that file, the client will not recognize it.

Toe expand on that, if you see an entry with the 3rd and 4th fields blank, then the device is on the blacklist. For example, the NVS 295 entry:

Code: Select all

0x10de:0x06fd:::G98 [Quadro NVS 295]
