Dual GPU - Ryzen 5700G and nVidia 1050ti - "Paused: Waiting for idle"

[jrweiss]

I've been Folding for many years, but have not been on the forums for a while.

I just replaced an old Intel computer with a new Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezanne embedded GPU) rig. I transferred my old 1050ti to the new rig (MSI X570 Gaming Plus MoBo, 32 GB RAM). This is my first experience with multiple GPUs

Win10 Pro 22H2, F@H 7.6.21, AMD graphic driver 31.0.12027.7000, nVidia driver 526.98. Folding 1 CPU12 slot and 1 GPU slot for each GPU.

Whenever I am using the computer, I get the "Paused: Waiting for idle" status on both GPUs. When I leave the computer and the screen blanks, the GPU slots apparently start up again. When I wake up the screen, they pause again (confirmed by log times).

I have never encountered this before - the GPU slots usually continued when using the computer. Is this a known problem or a configuration item?

Also, I tried deleting the slot for the embedded AMD GPU. When I restarted the computer, the client re-installed the slot. Again, I have never encountered this after initial installation.

Any ideas?

The default configuration after installing the client has the GPU slots as "fold on idle" on the Light and Medium settings, but it can also have been set by clicking the radio button on the Web Control for "Only when idle". You can change this setting there or in the advanced control - FAHControl. Right-clicking on the folding slot in FAHControl brings up a selection of options, one of those is for fold on idle which can be deselected.

From many complaints of the client not finding and configuring a GPU when present except at installation time, the setup for slots was moved to the startup code for FAHClient. So each time it starts up there will be a check for hardware including GPUs and the client will add a slot for any not already configured. This can be turned off for GPUs. After deleting the slot for the AMD iGPU, use the Configure function in FAHControl. Select the Expert tab and add an Extra client option for gpu with the value set to false. Save the changes and it should ne get added back again. However if you change your GPU at some point, then you will need to remove that option temporarily to configure for the new GPU.

OK. Found the client had defaulted to Light; fixed it.

What is the name of the option switch to keep the slot from being added?

[Joe_H]

Fixed my first post, %^$%^ autocorrect!

The option is gpu, set the value to false in the Extra client options area under the Expert tab in Configure.

That is the default for a Windows Services install of the client where the GPU can not used due to the MS security setup. An older version of the installer also used to ask if GPUs should be configured, haven't looked at recent Windows or Linux installers that closely since I am currently only running on macOS. I have to get my VM setup for testing redone.

[jrweiss]

OK. Do I understand that if I set gpu = true, a gpu slot will NOT be added when I restart the client?

[calxalot]

No. You want gpu = false to prevent a gpu slot from being created.
