I am being being polite here, I am new here too, my mistake for not giving my system information, next time I will.muziqaz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 9:33 amLearn to ask for help on internet.
Would you be able to help me if I told you that my car does not work and left it at that? You don't know what car it is, you don't know what specifically is broken on my car, only that my car is not working.
In your case you are asking on why your GPU is not getting work. The answer to that question is very easy, because there is no work for it. Respect other people's time. We are not here for 500 questions to find out what you are running. You are asking for help, not other way round. If you provide full system info alongside why you are not getting any work, then there will be just couple more questions with the answer.
What calxalot wrote in their post should be your first info before the question

My post was on general behaviour on internet forums, not just here. For decades it has been assumed, that if a person comes for help asking very generic question without additional info, that the person is wasting everyone's time. Take it as a lesson and not a personal attack on your personality.Alsen99 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 11:54 amI am being being polite here, I am new here too, my mistake for not giving my system information, next time I will.muziqaz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 9:33 amLearn to ask for help on internet.

I don't know what your assumption about me are but please don't assume I am here to just waste people's time. Like you said, I am trying to learn.
Download GPUZ and take a screenshot (paste the Device ID line from that app here) of the main window of that app, it will show us the pci-id of your device, it is possible it has not been whitelisted.
I understand. Thank you.muziqaz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 12:12 pmMy post was on general behaviour on internet forums, not just here.

Also there seems to be mismatch of the driver version your iGPU and dGPU are using. What is the Adrenalin Driver version? This can be found from right clicking the desktop and launching Adrenalin control centre.
Screenshot of Machine info within Fah client web interface ("i" icon) would be helpful too
Okay, Thank you for the help! Will do as soon as current work is finishedmuziqaz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 1:29 pm Everything looks fine. And GPUs are whitelisted.
So finish all the work if any running, then click on the cog icon, click on the padlock icon bottom right corner. More options going to show up. On the left hand side there should be Resource Groups section with Default under it. Click on Default, push the slider to zero, untick both GPU boxes.
Click Add on left hand side. Enter the name for the group (4800H or something). Set the CPU slider to 14, and untick both GPUs.
Click Add again. Enter the name for that group (iGPU or something). Set CPU slider to zero, tick only gfx98c box.
Click Add again. Enter the name for that group (5500M or something). Set CPU slider to zero, tick onlygfx1012:xnack- box
Click Save at the top right corner.
Now you will see 3 individual items, each having their own fold/pause options. Start folding on each of them and see if any of them are not getting work.
Going back to your initial question about dGPU. It is species 6, which is common group of GPUs, and all the recent projects have been enabled for it to receive work. If it is still failing to get work, check the log section of that particular Group to see what is the error
I did everything above, it is still failing. Here are the logsmuziqaz wrote: ↑Sun Aug 31, 2025 1:29 pm Everything looks fine. And GPUs are whitelisted.
