@cretin said in Plots full of smoke..?:
wow, thanks guys. I was trying to rush to get back to mining and ended up deleting the plots and replotting all 4 at the same time off 2 PC's. Does Xplotter always assume you have an 8 core CPU? Im plotting off one with 4 and one with 6 yet both say I can use 8 cores??
Not sure what your command line looks like. I always specify max cores/threads for max speed. I have a laptop with 4 cores runs 3300 n/m and an AMD processor with 8 cores runs 8200 n/min, so about 1000 n/min per core.
To make sure the plotter doesn't hog your CPU time, set priority to below normal. When nothing else is going on the plotter runs at full speed but if you want to run something else, it will take a back seat until you're done with the other task.
