how good is a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB for Leela ?

Post by JJJ »

All in the title, I d like to know how will perform leela in the average with it.

For the starting position I have en average of 2K nodes per secondes with it. Is it good ?

Be sure to run the full-tune on it. Then run it with the start position until ply 26 and see your average ply depth.

Even with an old i5-2500K and GTX1060 I get about 2250NPS in the benchmark I described. This is good for ~2900 CCRL.

What do you mean the full tune on it ?
from starting position, my leela needed 1min26 to reach depth 26. I don't know if it is ok for my card or below.

Anyway, my leela is winning against Hakkapelitta. So that's nice already.

PS: Make sure you have the correct --gpu # if you have more than one GPU.

Code: Select all

lczero --gpu 0 --tune-only --full-tuner

At first start LCZero does an automatical tuning for what settings to use with your gpu. This is of course a standard tuning.
By doing a full tuning you can get a speed increase up to perhaps 150-200% in some cases.
Delete the automatically created file named leelaz_opencl_tuning and start the process like described below.

Run sth like this (adapt names/files) from commandline or add it to a batch file in case of windows.
This might run some time and you can see how each tried setting gets more GFlops out of your card.

Code: Select all

lczero07.exe --tune-only --full-tuner -w ID222

Good to know. Glad that at least some Chess Engines have started to use the Power of GPUs.
If I get a Dual- 1080 Ti System, can it beat the latest Stockfish/Komodo ?

It doesn't support multiple GPU, at least not yet.

I got around 2200 nps with my 1060. For benchmark, you can see in Ipman benchmark.

OK, thanks.
Which would be better for Chess, an nVidia TitanXp or the Geforce 1080 Ti ?
