GTX 680 won't fold

AciD_RaiN · Post by **AciD_RaiN** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 3:41 am

Hi guys I swore I'd never bother you again with my stupid questions but I have been trying now for days to figure this out myself and with help from some pals. So this is the problem:

I downloaded the GPUs.txt and saved it to the Data Directory folder, went in to configure>slots and did add, checked the GPU ring and pressed add, then I put in client-type - beta but I keep getting this error:

If I change the gpu-index from -1 to 1 then something happens but it's not getting assignments.

Here is a log file (i think)

I am taking a guess here (so I might be wrong). The gtx 680 is new GPU there is no WU for it

AciD_RaiN · Post by **AciD_RaiN** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 3:08 pm

That's why you need to download the GPUs.txt and flag it as beta. Maybe I am misunderstanding something here http://folding.typepad.com/news/2012/04 ... lient.html

After "installing" the file? Is there anything else to do then just download it to the directory folder?

7im · Post by **7im** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:13 pm

Did you assign

<gpu-index v='0'/>

or did the client installer do that?

Please post your ***System*** section of the log.

Like always, asking stupid questions. Where can I find the system log and I assigned the gpu-index v=0 because when I leave it on -1 I get the error I posted above.

Change to the Expert display mode.

Click on the "log" tab and copy the ***System*** text. Or click on the * System Info * tab and post a picture.

It's the tab right under the green "Online" label.

Does this help??

7im · Post by **7im** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 5:33 pm

Yes, it helps a lot. It shows that the GPU is still not recognized (UNSUPPORTED) by FAH.

Actually, do you have 2 of the 680 GPUs?

In to which directory did you download the GPUs.txt file? Did you quit and then restart Fahcontrol after that?

I only have one and I downloaded it ti the FAH client (data directory) folder.

And yes I quit and restarted a few times :/

Any word on getting the GTX 680 folding yet? I should ask is there any word on getting better performance on folding yet. I was lead to believe that Nvidia is working on something with the Folding@Home team for better performance on the GTX 680.

AciD_RaiN · Post by **AciD_RaiN** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:45 pm

I am almost about to take my GTX 680 out of my computer and put some other card in so I can fold a little bit more... This is just getting so frustrating

7im · Post by **7im** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:59 am

Exit the FAHControl. Uninstall FAHControl (start menu link), but keep your data (check box).

Then install V7.1.52 again.

Now download and replace your exisiting GPUs.txt file. No need to edit it.

Download it to C:/Users/Birkir/AppData/Roaming/FAHClient

Exit FAHControl. Wait a minute. Start it again.

Does the GPU in the System Tab still say Unsupported?

Yes, I've see a 680 fold. Folds about the same as a 580 for now...

I read the same thing about optimizing the fahcore to better use the 680 hardware. Pande Group doesn't anounce that stuff until it's ready to release. And they don't typically comment on it until it is "soon" to be released. Almost never give ETAs, so no point in asking.

Watch the News page for updates like that.

I'm sooo stupid. I just had to update my FAH v7 from 1,48 to 1,52

Thanks for all the help and sorry for wasting your time
