Hi, I've been able to run FAH on my GTX 1060. They say the Nvidia setup should be much easier than for AMD GPU, but it is still a pain ... :/
I had to configure a firewall, download proprietary NVIDIA drivers and install them (which means switching the nouveau kernel module for the proprietary one) and install some additional libraries (needed by FAH). I've lost a day trying to set it up, searching WHAT and HOW [1] has to be done - since the help from FAH project side is close to zero. At the end, you have no idea, if it works or not, until the GPU actually starts computing. but since it may take hours to get a work unit for your GPU, you may find the correct configuration, but not knowing it ... It also means, it may have worked with the nouveau drivers, but I couldn't know ... it's a total mess. I highly discourage trying it unless they (FAH upstream) will have better support for ... everything. And probably also until they opensource the project again, so people for different distros could help them. They just stuck their head to the sand ... I have it running on Windows 7 now. :( Here is my DNF history related to this task: dnf install ./fahclient-7.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm ./fahcontrol-7.5.1-1.noarch.rpm ./fahviewer-7.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm dnf install /usr/lib64/libcuda.so /usr/lib64/libOpenCL.so dnf install --disablerepo=* /tmp/akmods.i6AeSrCB/results/kmod-nvidia-340xx-5.5.8-200.fc31.x86_64-340.108-1.fc31.x86_64.rpm dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-340xx-cuda-340.108-1.fc31.x86_64 dnf install nvidia-modprobe dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make dkms acpid libglvnd-glx libglvnd-opengl libglvnd-devel pkgconfig dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau dnf remove *xorg*nvidia* dnf reinstall kernel-core dnf install opencl* libclc* install ocl-icd-devel.i686 install /usr/bin/clinfo Hope you get the idea ...
