Welcome to Folding@Home!

I do not find a graphics card with that name, what i find is part of a AMD Ryzen CPU. Your log shows a Intel CPU.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/r ... a-48.c3395
If you had this laptop part, the GPU should support folding, it has OpenCL and Double Precision floating point support.

You can try a newer Driver.

To find your actual GPU, I recommend GPU-Z.

The GPU-Z output looks like this:

When I click on Lookup I get:

It is installed in a 2019 iMac 27 inch.

Hope this explains things but let me know if there is any more info you need.

As the MacOS does not have GPU support, that explains why it is not in the GPUs.txt file.
You are dual booting to Windows and it can fold there, it should be a respectable folder.

I guess it's a Hackintosh running Windows ;)

Today, I can't use the GPUs.txt editor to add the GPU ... I'll try again later ...

Many thanks for sorting this out. I was able to add the GPU as an additional folding slot and it is currently folding. I'll have to do some testing to check it is not getting too hot folding with both running at the same time, but looking good so far.

In answer to your previous post. A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer with MacOS installed. This is an Apple computer with Windows 10 installed on an external USB disk. It cuts down on the desk space required :)

Thanks again
