Hi there! I'm new here, and I'm trying to fold on a pretty old 9800 GTX. Here is the GPU-Z:

Right now, it is recognized and identified by F@H, and after updating the whitelist it is supported, however, when I hit "Fold" it does nothing. It says "Ready", but is never given a WS Assignment.
Here is the log result:

Code: Select all

I have heard that the GPU does need to be added manually serverside, but I'm not quite sure what that entails. I hope I can get folding soon!

On a related note, is there a good NVidia Driver that I should use instead of the newest stable build? I know that some cards perform atrociously when using certain Driver versions.

Currently the work server with projects that will run on your GPU is down and being looked into. Discussion of that latest occurrence can be read at the end of this topic - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26481. In addition, projects using these older GPU's were announced to be end of life last year, so they will run out in the near future.

As for GPU's needing to be added on the servers, that only applies to new models. If they are already supported in the current white/black list, then that does not need to be done.
