What am I doing wrong? GPU Plotting
-
Thank you I will try that. One more thing, what should I use for the filename? I have this : 2783713231314443085_534148994_19046400_8192
is this good for a 5TB drive?
-
Also, it appears to not work with: 1 0, device not found. I changed to: 0 0. Its running I will report soon what it is doing.
-
try running the gpuplotgenerator.exe setup
then, list devices and paste here.
-
the command is "gpuPlotGenerator.exe setup"
:P

That's okay man.

Are you using direct? I think you're using direct mode. If you're using direct, i think that's all right. It will just go up as time goes by.
-
@jervis Thank you! Yes I am using direct. How long should it take to get to a good speed (that I will see it is working well)? What kind of speed can I expect with this setup?
-
hmmm, strange, your setup should work fine with 0 0 8192 64 8192 then
-
@marrada Just leave it be. I just leave it to run. at the start you will see the time it will take for it to finish then it will stop moving then come back with low nonces/minute climbing. :)
-
@kohai & @jervis Thank you very much for the help! I think the new settings and some patience will help. I was thinking right away I would see thousands/minute flying by me. I will let you know what happens.
-
still not working right. It plotted for hours and after like 12 hours was still only like 1200 nonces/minute. It only processed a 88 GB file after all that time. Any other ideas? Not sure what else to try.
-
just let be man. Remember, it will take more than 12 hours for you to plot that in buffer and then take a whole day to optimize.
-
@jervis Ok but I am doing direct, is that still the case?
-
I have switched back to cpu plotting (old reliable). This is starting to cost me BURSTCOIN :) I do appreciate the help. I bought the card to do some simultaneous ZCASH mining and to get faster plotting which is working great. Earn some ZCASH to buy BURSTCOIN! Unfortunately, I find the GPU plotting process very cluggy. It definitely does not go as smooth as the videos I saw. The calculations that show are ridiculous and takes to long to show something reasonable so you do not know until after days or a lot of hours whether it is working. CPU plotting at least is straight up and works, just takes a long time. I will stick with that for now.
-
@marrada I did the same. CPU plotting is slow and steady but it gets there every time.
-
@marrada you can try device.txt as
0 0 7168 128 4096or even
0 0 7168 256 40967168 is equal 7GB memory - i would advice not use full amount of possible memory (first most manufacturers counts GB in simplified maner, and second you would still want to use your pc ;) )
-
@marrada For your devices.txt I'd go with
0 0 8192 64 8192
I started GPU plotting 2 * 6TB drives yesterday morning - it took almost 24 hours to the initial build of the files, but now the files are being filled in at approx 33,000 Nonce/min. In your first screen shot, you've completed the initial build, and are now filling in - that 960 figure will continue rising, right up to you plot the last nonce.@Lithstud, actually 8192 is 2GB of ram - the number represents the number of scoops to plot - so with a scoop being 256K, 4096 is 1GB, not 4GB.
-
@haitch ahh didnt know that :) for some reason i allways thought that one is kinda letting you to limit used RAM on video card :) but again for me it worked even if i was wrongly calculating it :)
-
@haitch @LithStud @Propagandalf @luxe @gpedro Okay, I have finished plotting using the GPU but then this is what happens when i mine with it:
[ERROR 1007] The deadline for your nonce is REALLY BAD: 144922 years, 10 months, 13 days, 5 hours, 3 mins, 8 secs - wrong block? are your plot files corrupted?what did I do wrong? This is the first GPU plotting I've made.
I used direct. And it took 3 days to optimize after plotting. Does that really happen? The direct GPU plotting automatically optimize the drive right?
C:\>PlotsChecker.exe d:\ file: 14946811813230596345_900000000_22700032_22700032 need to delete and replotGuys, I need help here. Please do respond when you're able. Thank you. :)
