Edit: Just made over 213M ppd in less than 25 minutes with (4) 5090's. Lowest scoring gpu was 48M ppd.
magic ;)
Thanks
Been my experience that LAR's ppd estimates for gpus are not far off. Currently all four gpus are producing 50-54M ppd. :D This makes my own rig with (2) 4080's look foolish lol. :lol:

Except when they are totally bogus. We have seen some really off numbers for a number of GPUs from the LARS ppd estimates.

At least we know the 4080 and 5090 are pretty close. :wink:

Either appears to work equally well, but using this one atm... https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=260637&te ... 580760e7fd

Be careful with PPD display from the client :
- it is not accurate at the beginning of the WU, it will settle after a while
- it is completely delirious if stop and resume FAH, until the WU completes and a new one starts.

And of course, it also varies from project to project on a given GPU.
