F@H Client Not Utilizing NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

Post by zsdxhz »

Hello everyone and the F@H team,

I'm experiencing an issue where the Folding@home client (version 8.5) is not detecting or utilizing my laptop's dedicated GPU for computation. It only uses the CPU. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this.

Here are my system details and what I have observed:

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

GPU (Primary): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU(6GB)

NVIDIA Driver Version: 591.86(Game Ready)

F@H Client Version: 8.5.5

Interface Used: Web Client
