Okay, after some review, I must conclude that so-called GPU Plotter is a worthless piece of crap, suited only for hackers and code monkeys.

After downloading the 2 files and 7zip, and installing 7zip, the first directions here were to read the README files.  Okay.

And.... progress comes to a halt.  Direction #1 - install msys/mingw.  Installing it isn't the main problem, rather, the bigger problem is that the file ISN'T HERE!!!!!

How the hell am I supposed to install something that isn't in the folder to install?!?!?!?!?

Then after installing OpenCL, which I can do, it gets into modifying files and command line directions for use of the cd command, etc.

Hey, how about releasing a version that WORKS without having to hack / guess / compile the damn thing?

Get to work on it, this current version SUCKS OBAMA!!!!!

And make it for Windows, no more Linux stuff that 1% or less of the world uses!!!!

downloaded & installed msys/mingw from google, but no idea after that !!!!

The Windows version is already pre-compiled into an EXE and is ready to rock out of the box...
The instructions to "install msys/mingw" are to compile the exe yourself from the source code.

Long story short, just open a command prompt and do a "CD" to the folder you extracted it to (that contains the EXE file) and run the file with the desired arguments.

The gpu plotter seems to favor AMD GCN cards for the compute processes. Maybe the 750/750ti are probably faster than the 770.

Does anyone solved this issue?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8726255#msg8726255

What issue....

RAM overloading when minig,
also stated here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731923.msg8751330#msg8751330

they keeps ignore this thing

This needs to be addressed. Also RAM is not being released when miner shut down.

same thing, but this problem is affecting only win7 user, win 8 is better in this regard

Would this work to clear the RAM? %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

its not working at all

Someone posted on burstforum that he was able to push up to 1100 n/min a 750 ti, definitely not worth...

what hash count are you trying to use on it

Here is a better guide on How to use the Windows GPU Plotter:

1) The GPU Plotter is archived in a .7z file, so you will need to Download and install 7-zip to be able to extract it (if you don't already have it):
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

2) Download the (Windows) GPU plot generator v2.0.0:
https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM

3) Right-click & extract the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0.7z" file and select 7-zip -> extract to "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0\"

4) open the newly created "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder

5) In an empty space within the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder do the following:
Hold down the "shift" key and right-click in an empty spot. Select "Open command window here"
(Note: the "Open command window here" option is only available if you hold Shift and Right-Click)
(Alternatively, you could just open a command window manually and do a "CD" to the folder containing the gpuPlotGenerator.exe file)

6) find the GPU's Platform and Platform ID:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list platforms

(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device platform, this will be <platformId>)

7) Find the DeviceID of the device to use:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices <platformId>

(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be <deviceId>)

8) Type the desired plot information:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate <platformId> <deviceId> "<Plot folder path>" <AccountNumber> <StartingPlot> <NumberOfPlots> <Stagger> <Threads> <Hashes>

As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "C:\Plots" 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024

3.3k 750 ti. Not even pushing. Just use as normal.

How to push ? What setting can i change to push ?

Guess AMD GCN cards are best suited for gpu plotting at the moment. Probably the next version will have better optimization for both AMD and Nvidia. I do give it to v.2.0.0, much less memory usage(maybe v.1.1.0 had memory leak issues). I can't get my stagger pass 3072, but that makes sense since the 7970 has 3GB of vram. Seem slightly slower as I was doing 12288 nonce/min previously, now I'm around 11.5k~11.7k nonce/min.

how to use all card on rig to plot ? the deviceID only uses 1 card with your command ?

please post the settings that you are currently using

670 running at 2100nm at degree 60c steady.  wish i had amd

[Jewell]

What,'s block now? Are we reaching 11800?

[SpeedDemon13]

You can plot on gpu per drive, just run one instance per drive with different deviceID.

my old gtx580 brings 4k-5k nonces per minute in a testrun.
also i have seen that the plotter adjusts the noncecount based on your stagger size.
the initial startup takes quite long compared to the time required to plot 10k nonces.
so i assume the nonce per minute are based on the total runtime of the program cause the number increases after each stat output.
cant make longer tests cause i ran out of storage and and wait for the next 100tb to arrive ;-)

this is the output.

cryptoport is giving to me a lot of these errors, is just me or someone has also noticed it?

the pool is at full capacity and thus giving this error

try to use another pool...
