Hi.

I'm having this same issue on my MSI laptop that has an Nvidia RTX 2060. I have deleted the gpu.txt file and manually downloaded it and applied it. It is still not identifying the GPU.

I have restarted the client.

Windows 10 1909 Pro - clean recent install, current drivers.

As per your last configuration, I have noticed that you're not using a passkey. Using a passkey is recommended for security reasons and bonus points. Here's an article for you to review: https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/

I would suggest that you manually download the GPUs.txt file from here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/GPUs.txt (right-click save as GPUs.txt)
Exit the client
Copy the GPUs.txt file from the Downloads folder to C:\Users\henso\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient
Start up the client and ensure that you can see your GPU
Add a GPU slot from FAHControl -> Configure -> Slots tab -> Add -> GPU -> OK -> Save
Just want to say thanks and give this post a bump. I built a new PC yesterday and this was the solution to creating a GPU slot. I also rebooted the machine for good measure! :lol:

The new PC is running a GTX 1660 Super, and it's a significant performance upgrade over my GTX 1060!

Thanks for making it easy for newbies to find solutions in the forums! :)

To get my old GPU to work and start downloading

1) downloaded GPUs.txt and added to "C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient" as

described above
2) disconnected the internet to stop parcels being downloaded and starting on the

CPU only (not sure if this step was needed)
3) I renamed the config.xml (or just delete it!) and a new one was generated that

contained GPU config info "C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\FAHClient\config.xml"

old config
<config>
<!-- Folding Slots -->
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
</config>

new config
<config>
<!-- Folding Slots -->
<slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
<slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
</config>

I also had to download GPUs.txt. Once I did, I could create a GPU slot.

I suspect that the install needs to be updated. :-)

Having the same issue on a new Dell Win 10 with 1660 ti. Not comfortable making the kind of changes suggested because it's a work computer. How do I find out when there is a stable install version available with this fixed?
