    Well, ain't this just an annoying long pinky finger up the nostril...

    New client now detects the integrated Intel chip, along with the 2080.

    My searches here and on google got me nada, as what I'm trying to do is *disable or ignore* the intel chip and so far all that
    happens is: I delete the intel, leaving only the 2080, it may last hours or a day or two, but the intel becomes primary and has no folding ability
    and the 2080 "disappears".

    Code: 
    22:20:08:           GPUs: 2
22:20:08:          GPU 0: Bus:0 Slot:2 Func:0 INTEL:1 Gen9p5/GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]
22:20:08:          GPU 1: Bus:1 Slot:0 Func:0 NVIDIA:7 TU104BM [GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile]
22:20:08:  CUDA Device 0: Platform:0 Device:0 Bus:1 Slot:0 Compute:7.5 Driver:11.0
22:20:08:OpenCL Device 0: Platform:0 Device:0 Bus:1 Slot:0 Compute:1.2 Driver:451.67
22:20:08:OpenCL Device 1: Platform:1 Device:0 Bus:NA Slot:NA Compute:2.1 Driver:25.20

    What is the best plan of action for this?

    If I delete the Intel and leave the 2080...2080 disappears eventually and *no folding* with Intel reasserting itself. :facepalm:

    I want the:
    Code: 
    0x10de:0x1e90:2:7:TU104M [GeForce RTX 2080 Mobile]

    to be the only thing to fold (besides the CPU, when the room is cool)...

    Help hive-mind...got brain drain at this point.

    [I am going to say unkind things about the Beta Team at F@H, if you want to think everything is well thought out, ignore my post. Also, I am not eliminating the Intel GPU configuration, I am just neutering it]

    Intel is working on new Discrete Graphics Cards, additionally, some of their recent integrated GPUs are capable of 64 bit floating point math and have OpenCL 1.2 or newer drivers, which are the minimum requirements for F@H. So the developers have been adding some Intel GPUs to GPUs.txt so they can test code they are developing.

    Apparently the concept of a Test platform separate from Production is foreign to these researchers. Not only have they added new GPUs that the production code is not prepared to use, but they added them to the front of the file, so the GPUs you are already using get confused. Had they added them to the end, you would still get errors, but the existing GPUs would fold normally.

    My best advice:

    Print out your config.xml so you have your User Name, Team Number and Passkey to type back in.

    Uninstall the client including data, and reboot.

    Reinstall the client with your User Name, Team Number and Passkey.

    With luck, it now shows two GPUs, but the existing GPU folds normally.

    In the advanced client, add pause-on-start=true. to the Intel slot, so it does not give errors.

    In some nebulous future, you can remove that and see how many Point Per Day your Intel GPU adds. Don't get your hopes up.

    OK, I thought something like that was going on...why add if not capable, but left hand meet right hand.

    I will do that pause on start, TY very much.

    Actually going to look and see if I can disable/skip it in the BIOS also.
