Been tweaking at GPU Plot settings for a few days.
Using a GTX 960 - 4GB Ram onboard, best I can get it to run at settings-wise is:
2048 - 512 - 256
IN addition, each drive is allocated 2GB of working RAM
With those settings, plotting to 3 drives simultaneously, I'm achieving only 4700 nonces/min in direct or buffer mode. Both show the same output reading on short 2GB tests.
To compare, using xplotter with 3/4 i5 cores nets me 6000 nonces/min.
All of three drives can be written to at 100+ MB/s, they are not the bottleneck.
I have read somewhere in the forums that the GPU being the active display source may be an issue stability-wise, so I will see if using the MOBO to drive the monitor helps me increase settings.
Is it just time to buy a stronger GPU? Or does this sound like a setup/optimization problem?
Bonus question - has anyone set up a 'chain' of .bat files to run the GPUplotter successfully?
EXAMPLE: Execute 2.bat after completion of 1.bat?
If so, I would love a syntax example, I have been unsuccessful with '&&' and 'call' attempts I have made.
Thanks in advance for the time and help!
