So any idea why my GTX1070 isn't showing up so it can process ... ? Windows 10 and Drivers are all up to date ...

What is your GPU and is it from AMD or from nVidia?

Go to their web site and install the drivers from there.

IF that doesn't solve the problem, go to the directory where you find the FAHClient software and run FAHClient --lspci. Capture the portion of the output that describes the GPU(s).

I updated the Drivers prior to making this post ...and a no go

Posted: **Tue Mar 17, 2020 12:33 am**

iFAH has supported that GPU for years and itt's still on the list. Did you reboot after installing the drivers? If so, please post the log per the instructions below.

Posted: **Tue Mar 17, 2020 10:45 am**

I had the same problem. For some reason, the *.deb files provided for Ubuntu-based distros didn't incluude a GPU list.

1) Navigate to /var/lib/fahclient
2) You will see F@H files and folders
3) Check if there's a GPUs.txt file there. (There wasn't in mine.)

If it isn't present, download it from apps. foldingathome. org/ GPUs.txt and place it in the folder.
(Sorry about the spaces; as a new user I'm not allowed ro enter URLs.)

Hope this helps!

This is a long shot, but do you have a physical monitor attached, or is this a remote box? Sometimes on install it won't register a GPU on a remote computer where there is no physical monitor attached.

Either way, I recommend uninstalling the client, rebooting, and reinstalling from scratch to see if the card is recognized.

there is a monitor attached ... i'll try the uninstall and let you know

Welcome to Folding@home!

This is an even longer shot, but other helpers have tried the obvious stuff:

Find and delete GPUs.txt then reboot your PC. That should force your F@H software to load a new one. perhaps the current version is bad.

is this relevant with Windows 10 ..? as there is no GPUs.txt in the install folder ..?

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:29 am**

Yes, Win 10 also needs a GPUs.txt file. The client has an older list of usable GPU's as part of the install. One of the first things the client is supposed to do after an install is download the current version of the file.

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:57 am**

On Windows, the GPUs.txt file is not in the directory where the app is installed, it's in a folder in your user account. Specifically it's in

Users\<username>\AppData\FAHClient

The AppData folder is normally hidden, so you might have to type the whole path into Explorer to get to it.

Thank you everyone for your help .... I am up and running !!!

it took 2 Uninstalls and Reinstalls to get up fixed ...but it is

A more general description of the directory is %appdata%\fahclient but you get to the same place with a little less typing.
