Unable to run benchmark on older Nvidia 3100m (Integrated) video card

[bcheeves]

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I realize that the video card in this notebook PC is rather old in terms of technology. The main issue that I have with this one is that the Nvidia graphics chip was pretty high end, when I got it, but it only supports SM/Compute mode <=1.2. I've tested the card with clinfo, and the drivers look fine. I'm really not sure if this old of card is supported or not, this is more of a test to see what I can do with this old chip, pushing it to the limit, I realize I'm not going to get any decent mining performance out of it. I probaly wouldn't have filed this as an issue, given the age of the card but I haven't seen a compatibility matrix yet, and the release comments seem to indicate that it should work with any GPU that supports openCL

I'm happy to provide more details if needed.

The --portable' option states that it requires at least SM 1.3 or higher, which is a little more helpful.

and the option without "--portable" seems to indicate that it's an issue with the GPU missing this cl_khr_fp64 extension: `RandomX_OpenCL-windows-x64-v1.1.0>RandomX_OpenCL.exe --mine --validate --platform 0 --device_id 0 --dataset_host --intensity 224 Initializing GPU #0 on OpenCL platform #0

Double-precision Floating-point support (n/a)

Your GPU doesn't support 64-bit floating point, it can't run this RandomX implementation at all.

that makes sense! Thanks for the prompt response. Any tips on an older utility that would work with my legacy GPU? I'm moving to upgrade the laptop soon, but this would be mostly for educational purposes.
