At this time they are not sending covid CPU projects to clients, only GPU ones.

That's not true anymore, there are CPU projects now:

I only got a CPU project, but no GPU (GTX 1080).

Same problem on my GTX 1050 (just tried updating drivers, no change). However, my laptop's GTX460M has pulled down project 11745 and is folding away.

EDIT after fiddling with gpu-index, cuda-index, and opencl-index (had to manually set them to point to my GTX 1050 [also have a BARTS card that is unsupported]) I was able to get a WU to download :)

how do you find the correct index values? My 2080 Ti receives no work.

In my log window I see:

  GPUs: 2
  GPU 0: Bus:1 Slot:0 Func:0 AMD:4 Barts XT [Radeon HD 6800 Series]
  GPU 1: Bus:2 Slot:0 Func:0 NVIDIA:7 GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 LP] 1862
  CUDA Device 0: Platform:0 Device:0 Bus:2 Slot:0 Compute:6.1 Driver:8.0
  OpenCL Device 0: Platform:0 Device:0 Bus:2 Slot:0 Compute:1.2 Driver:378.49
  OpenCL Device 1: Platform:1 Device:0 Bus:1 Slot:0 Compute:1.2 Driver:1800.8

I want to use the GTX1050, so I set gpu-index to 1. Only 1 CUDA device so I set cuda-index to 0. To use the OpenCL device for the GTX, I looked at the bus # (bus 2), found OpenCL device on bus 2 (device 0), so I set opengl-index to 0. Not sure if this is the right way, but it worked for me.
