Folding Forum

Hi guys, I am kind of new to folding and am unsure of how to set up GPU folding while running Lucid MVP.
What I am thinking of setting up is to run everything other than folding with the Intel IGP of my processor (i5-3570) and fold with my GTX670 (not tied down by everything else) using Lucid MVP since my motherboard supports it.
However I am unsure how I should set it up to run in the mentioned config.
Much help appreciated and thank you very much for your help!

Just install the 7.3.6 client and see if it detects the GTX 670. I have my doubts, because lucid abstracts the GPU's so direct control by an application like folding may be impossible. I can't say anyone I know of has experimented with it though. so good luck.

Thanks I got it working on i-Mode and it detected and folds on the 670 with no problems at all. Noticed the TPF is a couple seconds slower than normal but I believe that's due to transfer of framebuffer from the GTX670 to IGP. Now I can surf the web and watch videos on Youtube with no stutters!

That's really good news. I really thought it wasn't going to work at all.

Sorry to jump in here, but just to clarify - you have your monitor connected to the iGPU MB port and you have assigned the FAH GPU core to the GTX to i-mode, correct?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes that's right. But I have long since went back to running just the GTX670 as Lucid tends to switch between Aero and Basic themes whenever I run a program in i-mode.
