Hi there, I'm new to the forum but started folding a good few years ago. I recently started using my desktop again and it still has a GTX260 in it which I thought I would put to good use folding. Unfortunately I have spent the last couple of days struggling to get it to do anything. After reading around I am thinking support for it may have been discontinued. Does anyone know if this is correct or if not, how to get my GPU to fold?
Thanks guys!
Is the Nvidia GTX260 defunct now?

Re: Is the Nvidia GTX260 defunct now?
See my response in the previous post in this subforum, New Donors start here. Core_11 work that used these older nVidia cards has ended, some pre-Fermi cards can process Core_15 projects using the beta flag. No guarantee that a particular card will work, if you do decide to try the Core_15 WU's please monitor to see if your card can successfully process them, and turn it off the card does not succeed.

I thought that was the case. I am thinking about upgrading my card so I will just stick to using my CPU for now. Thanks for the reply though, at least it isn't user error!
