No CUDA or OpenCL 1.2+ support detected for GPU
Getting this in the log after going from Nvidia 576.88 to 580.88/93. Rolling back to 576 fixes it, but there are other issues non-folding related that I was hoping newer drivers would fix, so I don't want to be stuck on older drivers just to get folding to work.
Anyone else getting this issue with Nvidia 50series cards?

Re: No CUDA or OpenCL 1.2+ support detected for GPU
580 drivers introduced CUDA 13.0... I haven't checked yet if it broke something or not vs CUDA 12.x. And won't be soon since 580 drivers on Linux broke Steam gaming.

On the Nvidia Linux developer forum a user reported that with the latest 580 driver, CUDA/OpenCl work units now fail with Einstein @ Home...

Re: No CUDA or OpenCL 1.2+ support detected for GPU
I got it working in Windows with the 8.4.9 client. Shame because I liked the standalone app with the 7.6.21, and not having to deal with a web interface. Also, 7.6.21 had a finish option, which seems to be missing in 8.4.9.

Good to know. If you go on the right of the group that is folding the WU (default group if you did not make a specific setup), there is a pause button. Press it and you will get 3 choices, including "Finish".

If it's a Debian based distribution, try to run "sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev" and then restart the client.CaptainHalon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 14, 2025 3:28 am Getting this in the log after going from Nvidia 576.88 to 580.88/93.

Yes, maybe. I have 580.88 on all my Windows systems and they are all folding fine.

It works on the 8.4.9 client, that's not a problem. Are you saying yours folds fine on Windows on 580.88 with the 7.6.21 client? Because that's what wasn't working for me. I think the older client just doesn't know where to look for the updated Cuda, and since it's older, it probably won't get an update.

Not "probably", but "definitely"

Yes, FAH v7 on Windows and 580.88 are doing perfectly fine on 3 GPUs here.CaptainHalon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 16, 2025 10:48 amIt works on the 8.4.9 client, that's not a problem.
