B580 does 2m55s on that project

Also be careful with intel folding for a moment. core26 is out and it is not working well on Intel to the point where it folds on the CPU instead of the GPU, messing everything up. I have mine taken off folding for a minute until core26 is fixed

I'm testing with a Ryzen 5600G, iGPU disabled - I have been looking for Core26s and none yet for the B570.

It used to work but now it's saying it's not supported:

The B580 is still listed as supported in the GPUs files. Has the video driver been updated recently, especially if you are running Windows. The MS Windows Update will replace working drivers with newer versions without OpenCL support, just the video support.

core26 is disabled for Intel dGPUs, because there is a bug in OpenMM specific to Intel opencl platform

As Joe mentioned, nothing change on FAH side with those GPUs. I'm folding with one right now.

Thank you! Any idea which was the working version of the driver?

Usually it would be the latest version available from the Intel support site, not one downloaded through Windows Update. But I would defer to whatever muziqaz recommends based on his testing of one.

The one downloaded from intel website, or updates through Intel's update assistant or whatever that software is called which comes with their drivers
