NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 [Unsupported]

Post by Yesorno »

Hello everybody,

I've got an old HP Compaq desktop from 2009 and it's got the Quadro NVS 290. I saw that this GPU is on the gpu.txt file, but for some reason it's not showing on my client. Only my CPU shows.
Any ideas? Of course, drivers are properly installed.

Regards.

In some cases, you can simply add a GPU slot. In other cases, FAH must be restarted. (Try simply rebooting.)

Post the information noted below.

Yes, there is an entry in the GPUs.txt file

Code: Select all

0x10de:0x042f:0:0:G86 [Quadro NVS 290]
But this is an entry that blacklists the card. The NVS 290 is based on the Tesla architecture from nVidia and is no longer supported by Folding@home for GPU processing of WU's.

Ah, that is unfortunate. Thank you for the information though.
