Ubuntu 24.04 - v8.4.9 - RTX 5070Ti - Not running on GPU (Solved)

[DocJonz]

I have just popped an RTX 5070Ti into a machine that was running a slightly older GPU on the v7 client.
I couldn't get the v7 client to work after doing that(!), so I thought I would try the v8 client ...
However, I can't seem to get the client to detect the presence of the card and the opencl and cuda drivers; under GPU it says 'false' (although the card description is given), and for opencl and cuda it says 'unsupported'. The installed driver is 570, and i have run 'sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev nvidia-cuda-dev' for the additional bits ...
Any thoughts to get the machine Folding?

Delete the GPUs.json file (somewhere in /var/lib/fahclient) and restart the client.

For v8 it might be /var/lib/fah-client

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately the issue is still present (also even after an OS re-install).
In the settings for the edit machine, what does it mean if the GPU type is greyed, but the enable box is ticked?

Here's the log.
It seems to fail at 18:41:40, just after it identifies the GPU with "supported":false.

In running 'nvidia-smi', it says 'no devices found' which seems like an nvidia driver issue;
What's the best way, these days, to make sure the correct full nvidia driver is installed?

[DocJonz]

Got there ... finally!
Issue was the nvidia driver - I needed to install '570-open'.
