Post your plotting speeds here. Plotting hardware comparison.



  • harddisk: Seagate SATA 3.5"
    processor: i5 2500
    memory: 10GB DDR 3
    speed: **~7100 nonce/minute **
    plotter: xplotter_avx administrator mode



  • Processor: i7 6700 3.4 GHs
    Memory: 16 GB DDR3 (but I think xplotter set to use 4 G by default? still new... not sure.)
    Hard disk: External WD 6 TB My Book
    Plotter: Xplotter - AVX in administrator mode
    Speed: 8 threads = aprox 12,500 and 6 threads = aprox 10,200 nonce/minute.

    Surfing Youtube and on-line window shopping did drop it a little, but only by 100 - 500 nonce/minute.
    (gotta dream about the next drive purchase. It's now an addiction! Lol)

    (Was worried about loosing the use of my machine while I plotted... no worries... doesn't seem to mind much. Lol.)

    Took about 40 hrs to plot 5.5 TB on a 6 TB external USB 3.0 Western Digital 6 TB My Book drive.

    " (but I think xplotter set to use 4 G by default? still new... not sure.)"

    yes, 0.5Gb per thread by default, but you can increase it - set "-mem 8G", but if bottleneck is HDD - you don't get increased speed.



  • @Blago Ah. I was wondering about that. Thank you.
    Only having to do it once in a while, I'm not to worried about speed. Less than 2 days for a drive is good by me. And only a few to do for quite a while till a few pay days go by again. Now... if I had 10 or 20 to do at once... what a wonderful reason to worry about how it could be made faster! Lol ... Some day.. :)



  • CPU: i7-6700k 4.5Ghz
    Mobo: ASUS Maximus IX Hero
    RAM: 32GB DDR4
    Plotter: Xplotter in admin mode
    Threads: 8
    Nonce/Min: 14,000-15,000 (unless I am plotting & mining then it dips to 12,000-13,000)
    HDDs: Seagate 5 TB External HDD
    WD 6TB External HDD
    Total Plot Size thus far?: 9,477GB

    Note If I plot to my SSD then manually move to the Seagate or WD drives it seems to be a faster process, but I have to make smaller files which isn't really ideal for me.



  • @D2iH8c doesn't it waste write cycles on your ssd causing it to die faster? I wouldn't recommend, just plot to a different HDD that's not smr

    Noise Level: Loud - need to do some work on this

  • @HiDevin Honestly, I hadn't thought of that nor done any research on it...I'm still new to this so learning as I got. It's a brand new Samsung EVO drive so sure it'll still last an insane amount of time anyway. I've started writing to my 74GB raptor drive that is like a decade old now...it writes fast & I'm able to transfer off of it relatively fast so all seems to be well.



  • I7 6700k
    Dual 980TI graphics
    Samsung 512Gb nvme m.2 ssd drive
    Using GPu plotter I get around 36000 nonces/min plotting to the ssd
    I create 102GB files which I then transfer over to my nas4free machine with a 21TB raidz1 array. I use the nas4free for my media library as well.
    The reason I use 100GB size files is that it gives me the flexibility to clear up some space on the NAS should I require it giving me some control over the granularity.
    I am running a vbox on the NAS which is doing the mining for me.
    I realise that I am reducing the life cycle of the ssd but once the NAS is full the plotting will be finished.
    The 100GB plot takes around 15 mins to produce and the copy takes another 15 mins.



  • Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.40 GHz
    NVIDIA GT 730
    Intel HD Graphics 530
    (I'm using my Intel graphics card since it's faster than my NVIDIA)
    931GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 HDD
    Used XPlotter from the Burst wallet.
    Using the CPU Plotter I have 7000~8000 nonces/min plotting to my HDD.
    Plotted 250GB.

    Also some downloads and other things running. Plotting runs at low prio.



  • @luxe Hey bud. I'm doing half a petabyte right now. How are you getting those good read speeds? I would also imagine your using a usb host controller with individual lanes. What drives are you using. I'm willing to pay some burst for some information. Pm me or something we can talk further. From the numbers it looks like your 1 machine is counting 300tb+ in under a minute. Def interested in your plotting settings and jminer settings. I've been burstmining 50tb for over a year. I'm no newbie. So i won't bother you with the dumb questions. I'm in the middle of setting up a petabyte right now. Half a peta for me. And half for one of my investors. need a go to guy for some advanced help


  • admin

    @ChuckNorris Feel free to PM me, it in the nature of reading drives parallel ... that the more drives you have, the better your read speed ... at least if you attach them in a reasonable way.



  • My first plot just to test, using the plotter built into the official burst wallet (xplotter i think judging by the screenshots of others?).

    CPU : i7 4790K (4.0 GHz)
    RAM : 8GB DDR3, 1600MHz i think.
    Drive : USB3 seagate barracude 4TB, 7200rpm
    Plot size : 525GB
    Time taken : 4 hours
    Speed : 12,000 NPM

    Will try the GPU plotter when i stop getting the out_of_resources message on kernel launch.



  • @Dario's-wallet cool i have the same CPU but Plotting with XPlotter at 3800 non/min with 6GB RAM



  • 4400 - 5200 nonce a min with Xplotter using AMD 8320e 3.2gz boost to 4.0gz 8core cpu 10gig ram have it set to 5 threads and its using 3 gig ram ?



  • i'm look like blogo.
    my pc. AMD FX-6300, 6 cores = > 5300 nonces/min (XPlotter) -mem4G



  • @PummelHummel Just a thought... all this would look good in a spreadsheet.
