Until 'recently' only Single Precision was required, and even still some cards that only claim OpenCL 1.1 compatibility actually have enough 1.2 features to fold.

On the desktop, this mostly rules out cards from before 2015, but some laptops will fail even up to 2017 designs.

As the software does more and better science it required the hardware to be capable of more and better science.
kinda what I was scared of, needing Compute 1.2 sucks, that wipes out a whole swath of cards, sucks that wasn't forewarned, announced, or documented anywhere

Welcome to the F@H Forum ace510,

During the transition of the website from Stanford, some links were lost. Also, after the volunteer who would primarily look after the site and update it, passed away, the content hasn't been looked after well. The F@H Team is aware of it and steps are being taken to rectify this.
