I'm one of 3 or 4 currently active on Team Centos However, I've been unable to get GPU folding working, so I just dedicate all six cores to it. You may want to ask your original question on the forums at the FAH site, also.

I googled the FAH Hardware Forum. They recommend the NVIDIA 970 or 960 as their first choice. -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

I've got a pcie 16X socket to plug it into.I tried also to run a GPU queue with FAH and it seems that the client program needs a newer libc library than available in C6.
