F@H on discreet GPU.

[vorticalbox]

I decided i would do a tad of folding on my work laptop.

 

CPU: Intel i7-10750H (12) @ 5.000GHz 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile 
GPU: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] 

 

I have my config.xml

<config>
  <!-- Client Control -->
  <fold-anon v='true'/>

  <!-- Folding Slot Configuration -->
  <gpu v='true'/>

  <!-- Slot Control -->
  <power v='LIGHT'/>

  <!-- User Information -->
  <passkey v='xxxx'/>
  <team v='223518'/>
  <user v='vorticalbox'/>

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'/>
  <slot id='1' type='GPU'/>
</config>

 

however the client is folding on the intel GPU rather than my nvidia GPU. What am i missing in my config?

This is what my folding slots looks like with 2 GPUs. It needs more information. I remember reading about there being issues if you add a GPU after installing that required a reinstall. Otherwise, hopefully this can guide you to what needs to be done.

 

  <!-- Folding Slots -->
  <slot id='0' type='CPU'>
    <idle v='true'/>
    <paused v='true'/>
  </slot>
  <slot id='1' type='GPU'>
    <idle v='true'/>
    <paused v='true'/>
    <pci-bus v='45'/>
    <pci-slot v='0'/>
  </slot>
  <slot id='2' type='GPU'>
    <idle v='true'/>
    <paused v='true'/>
    <pci-bus v='35'/>
    <pci-slot v='0'/>
  </slot>

thanks, where do i get the bus and slot information?

[ramava]

You can find the bus number here in Device Manager. Just remember to convert from hexadecimal. (0x2D = 45) I *think* the Address property may be the slot, but I can't confirm.

 

 

If you have HWINFO64 installed, I know it shows here as well.

sadly i'm on ubuntu, so no device manager

lspci from the pciutils package (which is *probably* installed already) should give you what you need if I remember right. I can't test right now because it doesn't work in WSL and that's the only linux I have at the moment.

so its in slot 1 how do i go about doing the bus part?

[ramava]

I think that's bus 1 and slot 0, but honestly, I'm kinda guessing based on what I know from Windows.
