Wait, you can use mining gpus with a Pcie 1.1x1 bandwidth for farming with Max’s software?
Thanx, but for now I want to try plotting with WSL on Windows 11. It’s possible?
UPD: I tried to make plots for WSL on one videocard, but the process froze almost at the very beginning, at the level of 141 GB of RAM, while the 3060 12 GB videocard was not used, but for some reason the CPU usage increased to 30%.
Should be fine except for C20 and C33.
It’s not recommended, nobody does it anymore.

Why not just grab a spare SSD slap it in and install Linux, doing it the way you are is just setting yourself up for issues.
I have three SSD’s for my workstation, W10, W11 and Linux Mint, in fact the drives are attached with Velcro, very quick to swap them if need be.

Wow, am I behind the times. This was one of the main reasons I went with NOSSD. So a person should be able to attach multiple gpu’s using a mining Pcie splitter then? I do it now for NOSSD, using 2 Cmp 90hx and 4 3060m gpu’s and they will all play well together with your software Max? Ty for the reply btw.
As long as each GPU has a dedicated PCIe lane, it should work.
Only GH 1.0 had the issue of high PCIe bandwidth when farming. (Apart from C20)

Much faster plotting performance. This is from a old winderz user.

I have two old Samsung Sata SSDs in this z840. Two separate installations, no intermingling of boot loaders etc. Boot to bios, hit the boot menu key, choose OS and away we go. Works a treat.

Much faster plotting under Linux than Windows? I’m now testing plotting under Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, so far on just one GPU, and I observe about the same speed, only the first plot is made much longer (4-5 minutes vs ~3.7), the rest are also 2.7-2.9 minutes. But my hard drives are formatted in NTFS and the write speed on them is 2 times less than in Windows, is this how it should be? In general, I have not noticed the difference yet, it remains only to check the operation of two GPUs.

That is normal. Should not use NTFS in Linux.
Full RAM usually doesn’t have a big difference. It also depends how fast you plotting, ~3 min is kinda slow, so Windows can keep up writing stuff to disk (that’s usually where Windows sucks).

Thanks for the answers. I wanted to clarify one more point: if I create plots for Linux now, will I be able to farm them for Windows without any problems? Because all my farmers have Win11 installed.

Yes, all my plotting is done on Linux, all farming on Windows.

Hi there:
-
Somebody can explain how to change difficulty in Space Pool?
(I confess I am newbie on that). -
@madMAx43v3r : Do you think that with a 3060 12 GB I could farm only C31’s in my 0.36 PB (real size) farm?
My current Plot mix is as follows:
Plot Sizes: K32 6934 100%
Compression
- C19 4838 70%
- C20 741 11%
- C31 1355 20%
Thanks!
Until plot filter 256 yes. Need C30 to survive that.

what is the speed when plotting?
Presumably much less calculation is required for a C33 plot. And also be written.
I need about 6 minutes for a C7 plot.
C33 then in seconds?
Which hardware are you using to create a plot?
I can create a Gigahorse plot in 2.8 min using a windows 10/11 machine (both Dell T5810’s) with 256gb memory nvidia RTX3060-12gb and a NVME adapter (holding 4 1TB nvme’s) just for reference.

This information is incorrect.
Evgen1977 only mounts the NTFS disk incorrectly.
But I had already posted the appropriate commands for this.
200Mbits are possible
