GPU disabled - doesn't meet requirement or needs drivers?

Post by Richw »

I just started folding on an older rig and noticed the GPU is disabled.

Here's what I got from the log;

GPU 0: Bus:1 Slot:0 Func:0 NVIDIA:3 GK106 [GeForce GTX 650 Ti]
CUDA: Not detected: Failed to open dynamic library 'nvcuda.dll': The
specified module could not be found.

OpenCL: Not detected: Failed to open dynamic library 'OpenCL.dll': The
specified module could not be found.


WARNING:FS01:No CUDA or OpenCL 1.2+ support detected for GPU slot 01: gpu:1:0 GK106 [GeForce GTX 650 Ti]. Disabling.



What does this mean?


Edit: I searched for drivers, couldn't find any- and came across a cuda tool kit- but it doesnt support windows 7

On the nVidia site when searching for drivers you will need to go into the advanced search by clicking "here" for beta drivers. The most recent driver with support for your GPU was just released this week, there are more versions available going back over a year.

One note, I am assuming you have a 64-bit version of Win7 installed, 32-bit windows is no longer supported for GPU folding.

I'm 64bit- poster before you just mentioned there is no folding at 32bit.

Joe, I installed the drivers and just seen in F@H Control that both CPU & GPU are now folding. Thanks again!

You could do an in-place upgrade to Windows 10, get the digital licence and then do a clean install of whatever build/version you want as long as it's the same edition (Home/Pro).
The servers which allow Windows 7/8/8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10 for free are still active, it's just not publicised.

I did it about a month ago (just a few weeks before Windows 11 beta was "leaked") with a 32-bit Vista Home Premium install on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I first took it to Windows 7 by re-using a retail Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade I bought years ago, then did the in-place upgrade to Windows 10. That laptop now runs Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

As with any upgrade, backup before attempting it. The worst that can happen is that you revert back to Windows 7.
There's plenty of guides for doing the in-place upgrades.

By in-place I mean you download the Windows 10 install files using the media creation tool and then run setup from within your current Windows installation.

Please read up on it. Your files will still be in the same place but the GUI keeps evolving with every new build so accessing different configuration settings changes over time.

Thanks to everybody who chimed in to help here!

OpenCL.DLL should be distributed with your display drivers, and isn't something we can distribute with the core because it's hardware-specific.
This thread on the NVIDIA support forums is a similar issue, and has good info on which display driver versions might be useful in providing it:

Apologies if you've already been through this info!
