Is the NVidia GTX 680 not supported anymore

The Folding@Home client is reading "Disabled" when I try to add a slot for this GPU. Is it no longer supported? Ah, scratch the above, I needed to do a restart after a driver install. While I'm here, would a PCI Express 2.0 slot limit thefolding performance of the GTX 680, a PCIe 3.0 card?

Re: Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

No games on these PCs, strictly business work (and folding)

Re: Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

Interesting. All of the PCs I'm folding on are running on integrated graphics with the exception of one, but all of these have open PCI Express slots. If I ever get enough PayPal money to throw around I might pick up a few of those mining cards to toss into those PCs just for folding.

Re: Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

1060s are great value for that purpose. You can get them for slightly more than 50$. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ...

Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

I have a few old PCs here at my workplace, one with a Intel Core 2 Quad a few even older models with Pentium D processors. Those CPUs are positively ancient by today's standards but they're more than functional for what we use them for. I'd love to drop in a GPU to run Folding@Home on them, since th...

Is there a comprehensive list of compatible GPUs? I'm willing to browse some secondhand listings on eBay if I can give some of my old computers a bit of a boost.

Thanks guys. Know of any other distributed computing efforts I can put those towards in the meantime?

While I'm here, does anyone know of any similar distributed computing projects I can put the GPU towards? No sense letting it go to waste.

Well dang, I was afraid of that. I have an even older NVidia GPU that's likely not compatible either. I'll just go ahead and remove those slots and let the CPU do its thing.

AMD R5 220 Stuck in "Ready" mode, waiting for WS Assignment

Hey Folding@Home folks. Coming back from a long F@H retirement and I'm installing F@H on all my work computers. Everything seems to be working well with the exception of one which is having issues with folding on the GPU. CPU folding seems to be working fine, and the GPU reads "Ready", but...
