Folding Forum

Hi, I have an old account with FAH, I havn't folded for a long time.

I am able to login with the old account but I cannot get a project to fold, the logs dont point to any particular issue, I tried dropping my cores to use to the next lowest even number. I have given up trying to get the old account to fold.

I tried registering a new account with a different email address and it will not allow me to make a brand new account, it gives me a HTTP_BAD_REQUEST error.

I dont understand what is going on.

I have installed the latest 8.5.5 software on WIN 11,

Is a Nvidia 3080 GPU allowed to be used?

There were no accounts before recent versions of the folding client. Your old username and passkey should be fine. Post the first 100 or so lines of the log here and there may something recognizable to people here. The new client accounts are optional, and you can link them to your older username, team and passkey.

A Nvidia 3080 should be fine. Just make certain to install a recent driver version downloaded from Nvidia as the MS Update version will be missing driver support for OpenCL and CUDA.

Thanks Joe_H for the reply,

I have installed FAH on my old Win10 computer and its running fine but my intel laptop with WIN11 and the Nvidia 3080 GPU and the latest driver is still not folding a project, its logs me in okay.

Here is the log

Finish any work you are folding. Click on the cog looking icon.
Click on the padlock looking icon bottom right corner. Say yes, on the left hand side extra options going to show up.
Firstly put the CPU slider to zero, and untick everything.
Click Add on the left. Name the group 3080, tock your 3080 and CUDA only.
Click Save at the top right hand corner, try folding with your GPU now.
If you also want to fold on your CPU, same place, click add again, name the group CPU, push the slider to desired CPU thread count (leave 2 threads free for your GPU), click save.
Now you can control CPU and GPU separately

I added a new group '3080' to my laptop and that has seemed to work.

Thanks for the help
