Old video cards supported in newest software?

So I just started folding a couple of days ago, but I'm up to around 80-90 CPU cores and 3 NVIDIA GPUs (2060, 970 and 1050). Now that I'm addicted, I'm grabbing every old box I have around and getting them folding. I'm stumped on an old GTX465 card though, it doesn't seem to want to process the WU it downloaded. The CPU process is working though. The GPU status says waiting on FahCore Run. Is this old card just not supported? Should I even bother running this old i7-950 and a the 465 card?
Thanks!

Welcome to the F@H Forum insanity213,
Since you have a GTX 465, it seems to not have support for OpenCL 1.2 as per the specifications:
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/g ... x-465.c266
F@H requires OpenCL 1.2 for GPUs to fold WUs.
Out of curiosity, Can you please post your log file. Ensure that you have copied the System configuration which is present at the start of the log file (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26036). I am keen to see how the client has detected GTX 465

Didn't think to check for OpenCL. I thought the 400 series did it, but I stand corrected. It's probably not worth keeping this old box online.

Glad I stumbled upon this thread, was trying to get my old computer up and running, but it's a core2duo and gtx 285, with opencl 1.1... so yea that wont really work either.

I do fold with core2duos. Any CPU back to a Pentium 4 Willamette will fold and may meet the deadlines!
if the techpowerup site has your GPU, look for Double Precision floating point math (FP64) and OpenCL 1.2 If it has a driver straight from AMD or Nvidia, it should fold.
