With a time control that fast...you won't be getting any "High Quality" Chess Games....."it just a waste of time" imhomvanthoor wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 10:40 pmTruly? So you recommend I get a €1200 graphics card, just to be able to make Lc0 capable of defeating Stockfish 10 running on a currently 4 year old quadcore? That sounds incredibly non-economical. Maybe a GTX 1080 Ti (which is about twice as fast as the GTX 1070 if I remember correctly) would put it on par with the old 6700K, but even though it's older, that GPU still runs €350-400 in the second-hand market.Chessqueen wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 10:19 pm You are using an inferior hardware for LCO, the GTX 1070. is too slow in comparison to what Stockfish was using in your test, either you get a RTX 2080 Ti or a slower hardware for Stockfish in order for the match to be even
As I said: I don't game a lot. I only buy a new graphics card if there's a new game I really, really want to play in top quality, such as the Witcher 3. As long as nothing else I want to play comes along, my graphics card will be in the next computer as long as possible. (I've had my GTX 560 Ti for 6 years, and if The Witcher 3 hadn't been released, I would have still had it today.)
I *do* have a use for a lot of CPU power though (at least sometimes), so me getting a 12 or even 16 core CPU in two years or so is highly likely. I'll have to find a chess GUI in which I can set different time controls for each engine to match the CCRL-settings, and then test Stockfish 11 or 12 against 10. Version 10 will be obliterated. Lc0, running on the GTX 1070, won't probably even be able to draw a single game.
If I need a €1200+ GPU to make NN engine a match for an "old" A/B engine running on a €350-500 CPU, I'll be sticking with the A/B-engines for some time to come.
