I have searched for a solution but haven't found anything. The graphics card is an evga Gtx 580.
so far I have done a clean reinstall with the latest drivers for my card (23.21.13.9135 and made sure I do not have any type of CUDA toolkit installed.

Any thoughts?

Did you install the drivers from nvidia.com or from some other source?

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 6:14 pm**

Directly from Nvidia

The GTX 580 is a Fermi based card, F@H does not support CUDA until Kepler.

If it folds, it will be OpenCL.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 6:33 pm**

I would suggest upgrading your card (if possible), as there are two things to consider:

1) Your card is not supported by the current "latest" drivers from Nvidia (460.89);
2) To use CUDA with F@H 7.6.21, you will need at least v457.30 of the NVidia drivers, and a Kepler based GPU--or newer (Turing; Maxwell; Pascal series; as others have suggested above).

A GPU card update is not possible for me without a different motherboard so I'm stuck with what I have for now.

I was worried the card's age was the reason. Thanks for the answer. Not what I wanted to hear but at least I can stop worrying about it.

Does your motherboard have at least 1 PCIe x1 slot? If so, try the ASUS GT 710 (model GT710-4H-SL-2GD5). I've got them running on 3 different systems.

It's an HP MB https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03353629 and finding a graphics card to work with it was a pain. I'll research it a bit to see if it's possible to get a newer gpu with my MB.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 7:12 pm**

You might need to go into the BIOS/UEFI settings, before you insert the new card. Look for a setting to get the motherboard to recognize the PCIe graphics card on boot up.

I do see that you can also use something like a low profile x16 length PCIe card. I'd suggest the GT 1030 from Gigabyte (model GV-N1030D5-2GL).

I have a couple of Kepler GT710s (NOT FERMI) and they meet the deadlines with some elbow room using CUDA. I like them because they fit in a half-height case with a single slot. I think they only use x4 in a x16 slot so if you're forced to truncate PCIe to less that x4, you won't lose as much performance as if you were expecting it to use the full slot width for data. They're great for keeping old PC's folding. The 1030 is a good choice, too, if you have room in the case.

I was looking at the specs of his motherboard.

BTW: I had to put my GT 1030 into the x16 slot (where I plan on adding a newer RTX series card in the future), as the other x16 length (electrical x4) slot is too close for comfort to place it in--due to it being a 1.5 slot width card.

That is what has me thinking of the low profile version of that GT 1030 to go in that slot on my re-built system, as the slot I refer to is near the bottom of the micro-ATX case.

3 of the Kepler based GT 710's I'm using, are from ASUS and support the single lane PCIe slot quite nicely. They have 2GB on each card.

However, I do have one 2GB Kepler based GT 710 from EVGA, that still supports the DB-15 VGA output (as well as DVI and HDMI) in my PowerEdge T105. It supports the PCIe x8 slot, but I'm thinking it is only electrically using 4 lanes max. I will likely have to get a few more when I can, as spares (along with a couple 1TB SATA HD's; and a modular 450 watt PSU). As I don't anticipate retiring that system anytime soon--unless it takes a power spike.

I would suggest that smurfcorpse check either Newegg.com, or OutletPC.com if he is in the USA, once the holidays are over (and inventories are replenished...) ::: crossing fingers on one hand :::

just to report back.. I did update my GPU. The GTX 1030 couldn't beat my current GTX 580 in overall performance. I didn't want to take a step backwards in performance so I went with the Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4G. Kinda weird buying the GTX 1050. I canceled it a few times due to back order dates and looked at an MSI version as well. NewEgg finally had it in stock. Got it for 170.00 but prices jumped all over the place along with availability. I really didn't want to spend that much on an old system but so far it looks like I'll see a big boost in my PPD.

Thanks all for the help!
