ok. revisited this issue after 3 weeks and only 2 things changed.
windows finally activated with my microsoft account.
installed Malwarebytes to manage my firewall settings.
it finally works.

Try V7 as a test to see if GPU engages. If it still fails on V7, fahlog for it will reveal more info why.

Actually they are equivalent to the GTX 1060, not the 1080.

... is the folder and file writable? The main problem with older GPUs is the efficiency is much lower if your electricity isn't cheap. The 120W TDP P106-100 does 500K PPD according to the LAR database. The 75W TDP P106-090 does 300K PPD. A 115W TDP RTX 4060 does 3.3M PPD, and probably uses less ...

Any reason why you are subjecting yourself with V8 alpha edition instead of tried and tested and working v7?

This appears to be a niche mining GPU, and may not be in F@H's database. If so please post the device ID for the card.

You can find it in Linux using lspci

So I got drivers updated to 525 and also updated Linux Mint to 20. It looks line FAH is using my GTX 1050 Ti now but not the other two P106-090 cards.

Is it possible a fake card (see pixel and texture fill rate?)

(or install the server version of Linux) Maybe, but technically their isnt any difference between the desktop and server versions, besides less software and whether you install X or not. httpd, php, mariadb, etc are the same across both versions. It generally comes down to the experience of the use...
