GROMACS version: 2019.6  
GROMACS modification: No  
Here post your question

I want to run the simulation with tabulated potentials and group cutoff scheme.  
Gromacs 2021 don’t support them, so I reinstalled the gromacs version 2019.6.

And I ran the following command.

```auto
gmx mdrun -nb gpu -table table_MOFF.xvg -tablep table_smog.xvg -s prod_1.tpr

```

Then the following error occured.

```auto
Inconsistency in user input:
Nonbonded interactions on the GPU were required, which requires using the
Verlet scheme. Either use the Verlet scheme, or do not require using GPUs.

```

Is there any version of Gromacs that supports Group cutoff scheme on GPU, or is it impossible to run this simulation on GPU?

If you are using the old _group_ cutoff scheme, you cannot offload interactions to the GPU. To benefit from GPU acceleration in GROMACS, you have to use the _Verlet_ cutoff scheme.
