Device AMD r9 m375 4GB 1 0 8192 640 8192 works well

[bhamon]

@Lunas2525 Can you give me the average nonces/minute with a buffer writing strategy?

1 0 8192 640 8192 Generating nonces... 100% (57344 nonces), 13440.00 nonces/minutes, 4m 16s Ran a quick 14gb one to a m500 Crucial SSD Adjusted it a bit this is the next combo that works and had significant change to speed... this seems to be the best i can get out of it... this is buffered 1 0 3072 640 8192 Generating nonces... 100% (57344 nonces), 19114.67 nonces/minutes, 3m 0s this is direct Generating nonces... 100% (57344 nonces), 19114.67 nonces/minutes, 3m 0s the rest are buffered 1 0 1024 640 8192 These settings also worked and the plotter seemed more responsive in reporting. Generating nonces... 100% (57344 nonces), 13440.00 nonces/minutes, 4m 16s I have a r9 280x i can report on as well it is currently running 0 0 1792 128 8192 (i dont think these are optimal as i have seen higher numbers off this card before using much different numbers) i think 0 0 4096 192 and 4096 gave me better results but ill need to run some tests before ill say those are good...

GPU: NVidia GeForce 1050 TI HDD: CT525MX300 devices: 1 0 1152 192 6144 mode: buffer stagger: 4096 nonces: 40960 (~10GB) Average nonces/min: 25869.47 Time: 1m 35s

GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB HDD: WD Blue 4TB WE40EZRZ devices: 0 0 12288 512 8192 mode: direct stagger: 12288 nonces: 15249408 nonces/min: 14450

This is the second 4TB round running in direct mode.

The other one run and finished OK with: devices: 0 0 3072 512 8192 stagger: 3072 mode: direct

Tested for a small while and seemed to be working OK, also with: devices: 0 0 6144 512 8192 stagger: 6144 mode: direct

However, maybe worth mentioning, is that each time I changed these settings I had to recalculate the total nonces number to be an exact multiple of stagger; if I did not, the plotter would fail each time with an error saying something like "Could not extend output file".

MSI GTX 1060 6GB - used also as a video card for monitor 1 0 4096 64 384 Gives around 23k nonces, but as a reason i had a lot of mistakes from Pools, about corrupted plot file.

1 0 4096 48 12 Gives around 25k nonces, hasnt finished plotting, and i'm afraid of that corrupted plot files results.

RX580 0 0 13312 256 8192 buffer

Speed vary a lot based on the destination disk and stagger size. My settings, two disks: 70k nonces/min
