GPU whitelist request

[thomasgc]

My graphics card (GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design) doesn't seem to be supported on Linux (Ubuntu 19.04)
It is supported on Windows.

"nvidia-smi -L" output:

Code: Select all

GPU 0: GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design (UUID: GPU-fb4772f3-42bd-30a7-d1c7-40e6d807dfed)

Here is the FAHClient log:

Thank you

If supported on Windows, then the card is also supported on Linux and does not need additional whitelisting.

There is a timing issue with the Linux installer for F@h. It needs to run after the hardware, drivers and OpenCL/CUDA support packages are in place. If the installer does not detect the GPU, it sets an option for the GPU to false, and then you can not get a GPU slot to setup.

To check for this, open FAHControl's Configure and look under the Expert tab and see if an Extra option for 'cpu' is set to 'false'. If it is, change that to 'true' and Save. Then restart FAHClient. After the restart the client should be able to add a GPU folding slot.

Relatively new to F@H, have been running it a few weeks on VMware appliances and a gaming laptop.

Just attempted to load on a new Alienware M15 R2 Windows 10 host, install fails to auto-config the RTX 2080 Max-Q NVIDIA and unable able to manually add. Didn't find it specifically referenced in the GPUs.tx file, wondering if it's white-listed and supported? The system also has an Intel GPU as ID 0, RTX is ID 1. Could this be a problem related to multiple GPUs? Not quite sure where to begin since not much expertise with FAH configuration... :/

Welcome to the F@H Forum joeysfah,

Please not that Max-Q seems to be a branding term for laptop designs and performance: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2018/12/14/what-is-max-q/

Can you please post your log file. Ensure that you have copied the System configuration which is present at the start of the log file: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=26036

Also, for your GPU, can you please post pictures of GPU-Z so we can identify if the Device ID is whitelisted or not.

[joeysfah]

Hey PantherX, thanks for speedy turnaround, how awesome of you!

GPU-Z screen snip... ok, now I need to figure out how to drop an image in, forum usage in short. Gimme a little time to work on that; meanwhile, GPU-Z shows a Device ID of 10DE 1E90 - 1028 093B.

Thanx again, PantherX, GPU-Z screen shot coming up as soon as I figure out how to push up to a post.

Mod Edit: Added Code Tags - PantherX

Good news is that the client has detected your GPU:
23:10:59: GPUs: 2
23:10:59: GPU 0: Bus:0 Slot:2 Func:0 INTEL:1 [xxx]
23:10:59: GPU 1: Bus:1 Slot:0 Func:0 NVIDIA:7 TU104M [GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile]

Could you please try to add a GPU slot from FAHControl -> Configure -> Slots tab -> Add -> GPU -> OK -> Save

[joeysfah]

Thank you, PantherX, noticed that in the log... previously added a GPU slot but it didn't stick so then I posted here. After your suggestion I reviewed that addition and found also needed to change the default GPU ID to 1 and voilà! Another client in the fold.

Installer mustn't know this system variant to automagically configure, only a million to track, right? The manual slot add is where I went wrong, thanks for pointing me in that direction, learned a few new things today (posting images to this forum wasn't one of them...).

[PantherX]

Okay, so it seems that with iGPUs, Windows 10 is installing Intel Drivers which is now causing an issue with the automatic GPU detection Nonetheless, I am glad that it was an easy fix and you didn't have to fiddle with the OpenCL and CUDA values
