My folding COVID 19 wont start

[marcuskvist]

Hi I got this message when trying to run COVID 19 setup with GPU.
I'm new here and want to help.
Any idea what is wrong?

Your GT216 or Quadro is too old to be used for GPU folding using the current software. At a minimum a GPU needs to be based on nVidia's Fermi or newer chips, Kepler is better.

Have the same problem. The CPU is working but not GPU. Video card is in a whitelist.

The 6770M is in the whitelist, and used to be able to be used for folding. However it does not support double precision calculations which current projects need. Most calculations are done in single precision, but some critical ones are done in double to maintain enough accuracy.

The last projects for GPU that used just SP ended just last year, a decision was pending on whether any future projects would might use just SP. So a number of cards have remained on the whitelist at this point that can not be used. They may be removing them in the near future, and marking them unsupported.
