Folding@home client does not detect dedicated GPU

Post by Agham »

Hello, I am a bit new to folding at home.

I have a laptop asus TUF fx505DY

The laptop has a ryzen 3550H processor with vega 8 graphics

and a radeon 560X dedicated GPU

When i run the folding@home client, it only detects the integrated graphics.

Is there a way to make the client use the dedicated graphics, as i believe it would help speed up compute time.

Thank you to any who responds to my query!

Happy folding!

Look in the System Info tab and ensure that you can see the second GPU listed and that no errors are present. If so, continue....

Click on Configure, then head to the Slots tab. Click on Add down at the bottom and select GPU radio button and click OK.
