Alright I got it, I thought you were referring to an option in the BOINC client. Yes all GPU related options are selected, still nothing... ID: 13471 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I deleted the driver via device manager (uninstall and delete) and upgraded to BOINC 6.10.18. Because I did them both at the same time I am not sure which one actually fixed it. I suspect it was the BOINC client as the NVIDIA system info identified the GPU as being present prior to the changes in driver and BOINC client. ID: 13527 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I un-installed BOINC and re-installed it after having installed nvidia gpu drivers. BOINC picked it up straight away after that :) ID: 14064 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
