Folding Forum

After spending some time learning how to run F@H from command line, I now have the P106 running in a headless linux system. I'm controlling it using putty from my main PC. I'm still working out some of the details, but it seems to be folding now. I can see the GPU loading with the fah process in nvi...

Has anyone run into trouble after picking up these old mining cards? I recently bought a Zotac P106-090 from ebay with the plan to have it fold shotgun alongside my 1080ti. After installing it, I fired up GPU-Z to see what I bought, and I was surprised to find that it was missing both CUDA and Open...

Odd as it should be well below 75 watts, but it is what it is.

It is odd that it can't run on just board power. That being said, I've never tried to run it without the 6-pin.

I'm trying it in a different machine. I think it is not playing well with a second card. Using putty to remote to the machine with just the p106-090 installed, nvidia-smi does recognize that it is there which is a step in the right direction. It is still disabled in F@H but I have a few more things ...

Well this is interesting...
$ nvidia-smi

Ok, I flashed it with that bios but still no change. GPU-Z still indicates that there is no support for OpenCL or CUDA. The system I'm running it in is a dual-boot windows 10/linux mint 20 machine. I'm running the 457.30 nvidia driver in windows. The p106 card detects in nvflash, but it does not sho...

Another weird thing that seems to be happening in this GPU-Z readout is that some of the values look like they're being picked up from the 1080ti. For example, I don't think the P106-090 has 11264 MB of GDDR5X.
