BOINC does not detect a GPU on your host. ID: 61888 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

What has changed ? and how do I fix it ? Kim Is this a laptop with GeForce 930MX? If it is, there is currently no gpugrid apps that can run on Maxwell generation card. This is just fyi. The current apps (quantum chemistry and ATMML) only cater for Pascal generation cards or later. ID: 61889 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

A computer with an Intel i7-7700T CPU and no dedicated GPU. This is why you are not able to get any GPUGrid tasks. http://www.gpugrid.net/hosts_user.php?userid=531569 You also have two older computers with the same CPU and an Nvidia GeForce 930MX, that have not contacted the project since January 30, 2022 and August 1, 2022. Possibly multiple copies of the same computer? If so, it would appear that the 930MX in the laptop is not working any more. You might need to reinstall the Nvidia drivers. However, the 930MX is not able to run the current GPUGrid tasks so it wouldn't make much difference even if it was working. ID: 61895 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hi Thanks for the feedback the desktop has both GPU onboard which worked, but it seems the current Nivida GPU woun't work now. I'll remove myself from the work.

I'm running Win 10 enterprise, Nvidia Quadro M6000 12GB ram (Business graphic card) on BOINC 8. Please tell me what is going on so I can make the choice to keep or close my account?

Card is too old to be used on this project now. Move to other gpu projects or purchase a newer card with newer drivers and capabilities. ID: 62457 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm getting a message telling me that I need a GPU but I have one. Is a NVIDIA TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A] still a valid GPU to use? Regards, Frits. ID: 62471 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Regards, Frits. you don't have the nvidia drivers installed or something else is wrong with the drivers. BOINC does not detect your system as having any GPU.

Since you've restarted I keep getting "A Nvidia GPU required to run this project" What is going on? have you changed requirements? Thanks Jurgen ID: 62500 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Your card is tool old and not supported. Likely your drivers are too old and not supported. If BOINC can't detect you card, then no project can use it. Since no gpu is detected by BOINC that is the reason you are seeing the message. ID: 62501 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It was because the drivers were pulled down through a MS Update. Replaced them with the drivers from NVIDIA site and problem went away. I am running a 1070, every now and then I get a work unit. Not very often, although I did get one or 2 last week. ID: 62504 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
