New RTX3xxx cards
Will Folding be supported on the new cards immediately at launch?
I assume one would have to download a new gpu.txt file.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
Not immediately.
1) Somebody has to tell us the lspci values. viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26208
2) It will be added to GPUs.txt which will be downloaded.
3) The GPU will need to be benchmarked.
I expect that in some future version of FAHClient, some or all of these steps will be automated.
Step 3 won't happen overnight.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
The first FAH users which get a RTX3xxx card will report it. So you can be the first. There is a small chance that there are issues at the beginning with FAH. Then it takes longer to get these fixed in FAH. But at least after Black Friday or Christmas when everyone buys new GPUs then FAH will release a fixed FAHcore version.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
Thanks, so who benchmarks it? If I get one can I do the benchmarking?bruce wrote:Not immediately.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
There's no need for benchmarking ... but you should replace the third step with "pray that NV didn't everything and that it won't require a core update" ...
Re: New RTX3xxx cards
FAH will be a benchmarking step. At the present time it's not essential. No need for you to worry.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
Thanks guys, when the new RTX comes out I will be getting one and it will replace my 2080S. I would hate to be out of the Fold for too long. I have essentially built my 3950X/2080S machine around my desire to contribute.
Re: New RTX3xxx cards
The "old" method has been manual since FAH originated the GPUs.txt file. There's enough published on day-1 of a new GPU to list it in the supported (or unsupported) column. FAH's goal is to refine the concept of species so that if necessary the top dozen or so GPUs can be grouped and it isn't necessary to assign specific preferred WUs to each one. The goal is to be able to do exactly that so improved benchmarking will be needed.

Re: New RTX3xxx cards
I don’t know when I’ll upgrade. I started in April (after many years not folding) with an RTX 2060 and added an RTX 2060 KO. 300 watts typically for running on those. Better performance/watt will be the big incentive. Hoping that AMD will provide competition and keep prices sane. Heard a rumor that AMD will have shaders that can be used for RT (not using full precision?) or as shaders...

Uh... I don't suppose they could sell chips with defective ray-tracing and tensor sections disabled for special-edition FAH cards?
Probably not. Oh, well.

Good Grief ... That may take a while to sink in ... ... I might actually have to now build a FaH GPU rig !!

Huang's statement about FAH: https://youtu.be/ALEXVtnNEwA?t=1642
3080: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEXVtn ... .be&t=3080 (if you didn't notice, it does start at "3080"...) $700
then come 3070 ($500), then 3090 ($1500).
Looks like a good deal this time.

The first official video from Nvidia is out, for the 3080, not based on rumors (released today):
