Checking the most recent GPUs.txt file, it is already there:
0x1002:0x6611:1:5:Hawaii [Radeon R7 240/HD8570]
The important part is the device ID, the description is based on what was found in the drivers when initially released.

Do you have the latest GPUs.txt file downloaded by the client and in place? If so the GPU should show up as supported in the log file kept by the client. If not recognized there, a restart of the FAHClient process would be needed after the GPUs.txt file is updated and current drivers installed.

If the GPU is recognized, then it is probably a different issue. Could you post the first 100 or so lines of your log file showing the system info and folding configuration the client sees. If there are some error messages, include those as well. Directions on locating and posting the log file are included in the Welcome topic - viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26036.

I have the latest GPUs.txt and I have restarted multiple times since installing the driver.

Ahh I see it was running as a service, no GPU access. Working not as a service.

"Win32 Service: true"
Replace the Windows "Service" install with a standard installation.

Microsoft has build Windows so that GPUs cannot run in the background. (You were warned about it during the install but probably didn't pay attention.)

The standard installation hides the FAHClient task but it actually runs under the same user that logs on.
