Ubuntu 18.10: Unsupported Video Card - GTX 1070 #241

Bug title Ubuntu 18.10: Unsupported Video Card - GTX 1070

Bug description I use one GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 videocard is not recognised by BeamWallet UI -> Unsupported Video Card

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour: Open the wallet with GUI APP (testnet3 DEB package) Current behaviour Not allowing me use GPU for mining (CPU mining works)

Expected behaviour Be able to mine with a GPU listed as supported on beams download page

Platform and build

Other info Second issue, and maybe related with this problem? When I compile from source the GPU mining option is not visible in the GUI (both for Testnet3 source and current GIT). What could be the cause?

You have to put add_definitions(-DBEAM_USE_GPU) to your CMakeLists.txt before building. Otherwise beam is compiled without a GPU support.

Does this work? Do you get any errors during building?

ziomik commented 5 years ago

I have the same video card and the same problem..

gingervik commented 5 years ago

Hi @frankcoderL @ziomik @wirtz1284 Testnet 4 is already relesed with external miner. Please, try to use it https://github.com/BeamMW/beam/releases/tag/testnet4_release beam.mw/downloads

for now Use GPU option is removed from UI

Hi, @gingervik @ziomik @wirtz1284

Indeed the GPU in UI wallet was disabled on Testnet 4.

I was able to launch the CLI miner on GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. I will test GeForce GTX 1070 tomorrow. Thanks!
