With the default net (703810.pb.gz) I get in about 1 minute: 154k nodes (2400N/s)
With the J92-145 net I get in 1 minute: 7.7k nodes (120N/s)

Which one should I use (assuming the same amount of time will be spent)?

Why guess! When you can know for sure in a couple of hours. As I have always said, you need to test on your system.

Download a GUI- And this one is free.

And with Banksia, under tools you can download end game table bases, and books.

Then simple runs some test playing each other. Setup two Lc0 26.2 with the nets you want to test. And see how they perform against each other, or other engines.


Looking at NPS is useless and means nothing with a big net vs a small net with Lc0. On my system, I get 7 knps with a big net, and can get over 100 knps with a small net. The best big nets is always much better on my GPU.
