@Streetlight I used a GTX 1070 myself and had a lot of issues at first. For my devices.txt I use one of these configs based on how much RAM is available:
0 0 4096 512 128 (uses 1 GB VRAM + 1 GB RAM)
-OR-
0 0 8192 512 128 (uses 2 GB VRAM + 2 GB RAM)Performance differences are minor between the two configs, so use the lowest config first. I'd recommend writing your plots in direct mode so you don't have to optimize them later.
gpuPlotGenerator generate direct E://Burst/plots/????????_0_1904640_10240
gpuPlotGenerator generate direct E://Burst/plots/????????_1904640_1904640_10240
gpuPlotGenerator generate direct E://Burst/plots/????????_3809280_1904640_10240
gpuPlotGenerator generate direct E://Burst/plots/????????_5713920_1904640_10240And just repeat that pattern, adding 1904640 to the starting nonce each time so you don't overlap. That will make a series of 500GB plot files. If you have more memory, you can bump the stagger size up to 20480 (5GB), but again performance gains are trivial. I decided up front that all my plots would be standardized at 500GB each, so all my math is based on that:
500 GB Plot Files (NTFS)
500,050,165,760 bytes (approx.) / 262,144 bytes per nonce = 1,907,540 potential nonces2.5 GB RAM
2,621,440 KB / 256 = 10,240 stagger
186 * 10,240 = 1,904,640 noncesYou should get around 13,000 - 15,000 nonces/minute in direct mode and over 20,000 nonces/minute in buffered mode.
Thank you very much for this. Will give it a go.
