Just setup FAH on my home server to try and make use of it's Quadro GPU but it's GPU is not detected.
When I try to manually add the GPU via the slots setting in advanced control it reports "No available GPUs"

The GPU.txt file contains "11950x10de:0x1cb3:2:5:GP107GL [Quadro P400]" and this matches the device ID I see in NVidia system information "10DE 1CB3 11BE102"

Any suggestions what needs to be changed or done for this to work?

You GPU is in the list of supported GPUs.

Check the following : right click on tray icon > Advanced Control. In FAHControl, click on Configure > Expert tab. On the left in Extra client options, if you see GPU set to False, remove it. Then your GPU should start getting work.

Thanks
The only extra client options are open-web-control=true.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Anyway I got it working, I installed FAH via RDP connection to the server earlier today which is normal as I run the home server without a physical monitor. But I read about some problems with this setup in other posts, so I connected a screen and rebooted it then went in an added the GPU in slots again and this time it worked.
So either the reboot or connecting the physical monitor to it was most likely the fix.
I've since rebooted without the physical monitor and it's retained the GPU in FAH.

Yes, RDP disables GPU/emulate it by design ... it's better to use VNC or TeamViewer in this case.
