I already got the required data from NV, but they requested that FAH follows the same NDA as reviews, so the new GPUs will be supported by FAH on release.

Awesome!

This is a good time to give a huge shout-out to toTOW, Bruce, and all of our other wonderful volunteers for helping us be ready to make the most of awesome new technology the moment they are released!

I could not agree more, thanks for all the hard work!

So are they in the gpus.txt now?

Yes The 3090 should be there next week after it is officially released, and so on.

One possible problem - the versions of Nvidia driver updates the Microsoft sends out with Windows updates do not include CUDA or OpenCL capabilities and therefore won't work with distributed computing.

Make sure that you have the version downloaded directly from Nvidia, even if you have to tell it to install even if there is a version with the same version number already installed.

If you have GeForce Experience installed, it will watch for new versions becoming available and almost always offer to let you download them before Microsoft provides a version with the same version number.

I'm thinking of upgrading to an RTX 2070, but need to do some calculations to check if my power supply is adequate first.
