GPU plotting help, please
-
Hi!
I read some topics here and watched an youtube video on how to plot with my videocard (gpu), but when I started doing it, it crashes. I think the reason is because I don't have an onboard videocard. I also tried to disconnect my monitor cable from the vga and use teamviewer but... no luck.
So I gave up and started to plot using my CPU, but it will take like 5 days to plot 5TB ;( and I have another 5TB external HDD to plot... so 10 days, really? I'm getting 2700 nounces/minute.
Here's my specs:
AMD FX 6300 six core @ 3,5ghz
8GB ddr3
GTX 960 4gb StrixI edited my .bat like this to run gpuplotgenerator:
gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer F://4131160842529584743_0_19000000_12000
pauseAny suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Any suggestions?It would help if you could post the Error-Massage! But here are some more quastions which help to figure out the problem...
- Did you install OpenCL 1.2 or 2.0? (For your GTX 960 you should use CUDA)
- Are you using it in WIN or Linux?
- Can you try the command "./gpuPlotGenerator listPlatforms" and show the output?
-
Thanks a lot for replying!
I'm using Windows 10. Ok so I used that command and it says "Id: 0 Name: NVIDIA CUDA Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Version: OpenCL 1.2 CUDA 8.0.0"
I can't tell you what the error message is because it crashes all the time.

In your run.bat under the first line type pause then save it and it will not close straight away so you will be able to see the error.
Like this:
java -jar -d64 -XX:+UseG1GC burstcoin-jminer-0.4.5-RELEASE.jar
pause
-
I already did, but it starts to plot then blank screen and it crashes. I have to reboot the system.

Got it!
My monitor was connected to my video card and the hashesnumber parameter was too high. So I couldn't use the default 8192.
Thanks a lot guys!

How many nounces/minutes did you get with your GTX 960?
-
I'm getting 10000 nonces/minute. I was expecting at least 20000 but... way better than using my CPU. Already tried to use more memory or USB 3.0 ports.
In 2 days everything will be ready, damn, this will last more than my previous relationship.

Ok so after plotting with gpuplotgenerator, what should I do? I tried to start mining but couldn't see the new plot there. And there's no option to "load" an existing plot there.

move your plot to drive letter://Burst/plots for example d://Burst/plots/123245646549661_41646413_4564612 it should do the trick :)

Thanks a lot :)
