Help GPU folding not working?

Post by NO_KAPPA »

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed F@H on my iMac. CPU is running just fine, but whenever I try to run GPU (I have a GeForce GT 640M GK107) it never starts and just stays there with a yellow circle. Why is this?

I've got CUDA installed btw

Welcome to the folding forum.

Per the installation guide - http://folding.stanford.edu/home/guide/ ... all-guide/ - GPU folding is not currently available with OS X. CUDA installation will not help, the folding cores use OpenCL. There is a long standing bug with OS X implementation of OpenCL that was just fixed a few months ago, it may allow for GPU folding to finally be possible on OS X at some point in the future.
