FahCore_15.exe *32 uses a CPU core; no load on GPU

[samuraisam]

Using the latest drivers, latest client, vanilla config and what not, my EVGA GTX 670 2GB card gets stuck at "Starting GUI Server". I've tried a bunch of different configurations and various steps to get it folding, but have had no luck. No matter what I do, the client stays stuck at the "Starting GUI Server." Interestingly, for some reason, FahCore_15 uses ~25% of the system (a 4 core system).

Here are the most recent logs. They pretty much all turn out this way no matter what I do:

So, following advice (which may or may not be "good") in this forum here: [0] (at the linked post), setting client-type="beta" in the blabity blah advanced expert blah, seemed to make it start. Now showing little-to-no-load on FahCore_15.exe, but full load on the GPU (monitored using GPU-Z). Fun times. Let me/future readers, know if I/we should be doing something different.

Cheers

Welcome to foldingforum.org, samuraisam.

What GPU do you have? (You didn't post the top portion of the log which shows the system hardware report.)

You have downloaded a FahCore that works on a Fermi GPU. The developers are still working on a FahCore that works dependably on a Kepler GPU. (Sometimes the Fermi FahCore works and sometimes it doesn't.) If you have a Kepler, you really should wait.

I just bought it. GPU0 reports as FERMI:1 GK107 [GeForce GTX 670]

The log line [it's in the log pasted above]:
03:40:14:WU01:FS00:0x15:GPU device info: vendor=0 device=0 name=<NA> match=0

So I should just wait?

Pande Group hasn't commented on waiting or not. However, using the beta setting means no support in the public section of this forum. Use the beta section.

P.S. Those same instructions you linked are already in this forum.

Paste the first couple pages of the log, including the **SYSTEM** segment where the hardware is detected. V7 still has some problems when there is more than one GPU and I can't tell if you have another one or not and whether you're running as a Windows Service (which is prohibited by Microsoft).
