Has anyone plotted on pcie2?
Is it even possible for me to do that with a 3060?
Do you have a 3060 plugged into a PCIE-2.0 slot?
No, but my friend has a server with pcie2 and wanna see if that could work haha… I don’t know
And you have a 3060 there?
Yes of course, thats why im asking
I think around 1 PiB at plot filter 512
so 0.5PiB in a year time? 1PiB with 2xTesla P4?

Got a 1080 video card. Ubuntu. HP Z620, Dual 2660V2, DDR3 192GB, 1TB SSD
sudo ./cuda_plot_k32 -C 7 -n 20 -r 1 -t -d -c -f
it says
Invalid -r | --ndevices, not enough devices: 0
Not enough power for GPU?
Thanks!

UPDATE
HP Z620 has two GPU power connectors, G1 and G2. It happens that G1 has no power.
Used G2, it flies.
1080 8GB video card.
192GB system memory is just enough.
Total plot creation time was 402.027 sec (6.70045 min)
Thanks bros for these 400 some threads in this post!

Hello, thanks for sharing this information.
What drivers are you using with the 1080?
I have a GTX 1080 but I’m getting 5-6 minutes with the default windows 10 drivers: 27.21.14.5751 dated from 11/2020.
With any other driver I’ve tried, I got 9 minutes.

I used Ubuntu and followed the instruction in this forum. Installed the driver according to the instruction. Don’t know what driver it was.

Most people here use Linux, highly recommend you try to switch if you can for better performance. No idea about your particular issue, sorry, just adding my 2 cents. 
GTX 750ti is almost identical to the K2200, which is in the table.
3060 SHOULD plug into and work in a PCI-E 2.0 slot - but you’re going to lose some of the potential performance due to the much slower bus speed.

Ya, but I’m asking if someone has managed to do this… I’m interested to see plotting performance haha.
Wanna see if it’s worth it for me to buy a server with pcie2.0.
Where I’m from, servers even second hand are hard to find and rather expensive.
.\cuda_plot_k32.exe -n 1 -C 7 -M 64 -x 11337 -t d:\tmpg\ -2 d:\tmpg\
Invalid -r | --ndevices, not enough devices: 0
what could it be? RX 580 8gb
CUDA_PLOT , sir
you have no CUDA card.

Thats the way it goes.

I did a 20 plot sequence. First plot was 6.7 minutes. After that every plot is 5 minutes or less.
Destination is a 2 HDD RAID 0. Copy speed is around 240 mb/sec.
I think it is fast enough for me. Doing it faster would have distribution problem for me, as I am using eBay grade hardware.
