Caution. The "run" version of the drivers can clobber your desktop if you`have onee (i.e. unless your are running the server version of the distro). Find the HOW-TO instructions and follow them carefully.

THat just demonstrates that you don't need "game ready" revisions of the drivers since you can't play a game on a device that doesn't have video. I looked around and didn't find drivers easily, so the zotac version may be the only option. I don't know if they include OpenCL.

@JimboPalmer: We're moving Intel GPUs to GPUSpecies=1 so that we can test these separately! The new beta client has a special flag that will allow configuration of the GPUSpecies=1 GPUs for use in testing/benchmarking projects!
Slowly but surely, we'll get there...

not sure how people are not seeing the 451.67 driver i installed from the latest GPU-Z post.. but that notwithstanding; If i disable the intel GPU, i will have no display out. The P106-90 card is a mining variant with no display out. I can try the method described above..

1. Uninstall FAH incl. Data
2. Disable the Intel GPU (if necessary connect the monitor to one of the Nvidia cars)
3. DDU all present GPU drivers
4. Install the latest Nvidia drivers
5. Install FAH

..except not uninstalling the intel IGPU? or, perhaps use a generic driver and remove/install everything in safe mode? I may try a combination of things this evening, any additional suggestions are appreciated, along with the help ive received so far.

Intel and Microsoft have teamed up to provide a version of OpenCL that works on the Intel iGP. It DOES NOT work on NVidia/AMD hardware and is known to cause conflicts in a system containing both the Intel IGP and OpenCL drivers for "supported" hardware. This may or may not become a problem if FAH decides to call Intel iGPs supported. They may work with the NVidia or AMD version of OpenCL ... but that'll be resolved someday soon.

Since you don't currently have any supported GPU hardware, I'm not sure the best way to find a version of OpenCL that can support both the iGP and the P106 (or even just the P106).

If you uninstall the Intel OpenCL, it may actually help because OpenCL is not required to display a desktop ... and you can always reinstall it if you need to. I don't know how to the the OpenCL version that nVidia distributes without actually installing their divers. Maybe you can install the CUDA Developers package even if you don't have a CUDA device installed. (It will have lots of things you DON'T need.)

Please ask Zotac if they can recommend OpenCL for the P106 and report back.

Their number must appear in the OpenCL line, like this: In your setup, the system indicates 27.20 (instead of 451.67). It shows that the drivers were not installed correctly for what OpenCL is concerned.

Maybe, who knows. In any case, you should prevent the installation of the version of OpenCL that comes with the Intel drivers. Maybe install another regular GPU on the kit for the duration of the installation?

OpenCL implementations from different vendors are supposed to play nice with each other. You can read more about how this works in OpenCL spec: What version of OpenCL.dll do you have in C:\Windows\System32 ? You should have something like 2.2.5.x from this year.
If not, removing all previous graphics drivers and this OpenCL.dll file and then reinstalling them should fix your issue.

A quicker solution to fix platform load issues, but not as clean, is to overwrite OpenCL.dll manually with Intel_OpenCL_ICD64.dll from latest Intel driver package (and Intel_OpenCL_ICD32.dll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll for 32-bit programs).

Apologies for not elaborating it a bit more and for "falling back" to assumed knowledge While ajm provided an answer, I thought to elaborate on that a bit more.

The screenshot of GPU-Z was a quick sanity check to see if the GPU was functional and detected correctly or not. The Device ID is useful too since it must be present in the GPUs.txt file in order for the client to detect it. The screenshot also provides a quick view of the status OpenCL and CUDA. Both should be present (ticked) but in this case, OpenCL is not ticked.

The reason I skipped over the Driver version in GPU-Z is because the focus is on client which means that I will look at the log file to see what the client detects. If the client can't detect it, then we need to fix that so that the client can correctly configure itself. Thus, the important section would be comparing the log file and this is what your client has: Which I compared to mine as we both have Nvidia devices so makes it easy to see what the Driver information is: So, we notice that your system doesn't have the Bus allocated no the correct Driver detected assuming that it is the Nvidia GPGPU. I think that might be the Intel iGPU since there's no OpenCL for your P106.

Thank you all for the clarification and added troubleshooting guidance. I didn't have any luck this evening, but I do agree that the intel GPU is throwing a wrench in things for sure, here. I will have to educate myself further so i can be a little more precise. All I really did was try shuffling in the drivers in as many different orders as i could manage. I will get back at it later and report on my results.

Thanks for the reading material!

Maybe you could replace the monitor presently connected to this iGPU with an RDP connection to another computer of the network?
You would then have a "Microsoft Remote Display Adapter" in the Device Manager of the folding rig, which I know doesn't interfere with OpenCL, and you could disable the iPGU.

I actually reckon your challenge may be to find nvidia drivers that support your GPUs and OpenCl and that may be part of the challenge you are having ... Someone probably has the same GPUs working sucessfully and may be able to advise what drivers they are using - at least then you are working towards a driver set you know should work.

With the correct drivers for the nvidias running the iGPU shouldn't be an issue - just let the client create its slot then pause and pause-on-start it ... once that is done delete and nvidia slots, install a set of nvidia drivers that you know works for your cards (if you can find a set), reboot system and you may find things work for you ... Hope you manage to get this sorted.

A possible solution seems to be drivers for a 1050/1060. People at LTT (here the first message about that card: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/10 ... t-13508536 )
could get a screenshot of GPU-Z with OpenCL active for a P106-090
