Disabling iGPU Folding

[YobB1n]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if I could permanently disable iGPU folding in the F@H client. I don't fold 24/7 on my gaming rig so every time I restart the system it automatically starts folding a new work unit on my iGPU and I can't figure out a way to prevent it. I tried setting it to "Finish" the WU with the idea that it remains finished and doesn't fold anymore on it, but it always restarts once I turn on the system. Removing the iGPU folding slot also doesn't work as it always re-adds the slot when the system reboots.

 

Thanks!

Maybe turn off F@h auto-startup?

 

Also finish button in F@h app doesn't pause the folding, you have to pause it. (it only finishes the WU and stays paused for the current session)

 

If you finish WU, close app. And later or next day open F@H it starts unpaused, and starts downloading WU and starts to fold.

Using the Advanced Control you should be able to specify which slots are used. If your just using the CPU and NOT another GPU then you should be able to add:

gpu v="false"

to the config.xml which should stop it from auto-detecting and then auto-configuring GPUs.

 

You can do this also in Advanced Control in the Configure Dialog|Expert Tab by setting the "Extra client option" named "gpu" to "false"

 

Remember, to manually edit the config file the Folding Client must be stopped. No idea how to do that cleanly on Windows - I just usually kill the Process in Task Manager.

 

Notice I've also set "pause-on-start" to "true" this will cause the Client to NOT start Folding until you tell it to which you might find useful.

I might be a bit late to the party, but what I did was to disable the iGPU in the device manager
