Thank you for the information.

I also have a question whether it is better to use the engine for the processor or for the graphics card.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Can you please write how to configure the Scorpion engine for the graphics card, not the processor? Thank you in advance for all help and information.

For Windows (which was yours, afair) from this site:
https://github.com/dshawul/Scorpio/releases/tag/3.0
download this file (install.bat) only:



From instruction here
https://github.com/dshawul/Scorpio/blob ... INSTALL.md
the to me most important point is marked again



And again I only think to remember your GPU was a 3070 or 3080, which as my 3070ti needs TensorRT 7.2.
To download and install this one version and parameters, you have to give this one command, having started dos- prompt and navigated to the dircetory you have stored the install.bat at:



Regard the space between install.bat and --trt72
, and of course you have to adapt the directory- names to yours.

Having entered this command, download and installation of all for your system necessary files starts and will take several minutes.
After that, you should be able to start the engine (scorpio.exe in Sorpio\Sorpio\bin\Windows), if not, I'm sorry, than no further trials of installation in any GUI will work. If yes, after that (installation in GUI) the UCI- options for Scorpio running on GPU (default) or CPU are to be seen and chosen.
Best regards

Thank you for your answer. You can show the Scorpion.ini file with your graphics card.

Thank you for your answer. You can show the Scorpion.ini file with your graphics card.

In Scorpio.ini specification of GPU isn't mentioned, too much text for single screenshot. Copy and paste of the whole .ini would need much scrolling in code- window and need not be the same as in your installation so of no use for you.

There are other files after installation in Scopio\Scorpio\bin\Windows e.g. CUDA.txt and TENSORRT.txt regarding the GPU, but they won't help you neither, my GPU is NVIDIA 3070ti. As you probably read in Readme, only Ampere- generation of Nvidia does work at all.
Which one is yours?
Does scorpio.exe work in console for you? Starts pondering about moves after command go?
If yes, what's the problem then in GUI- installation?
If not, sorry, I can't help in that case regards

My graphics card is Nvidia 3080 Ti.

Already thought so after previous postings. This one should work with trt72- parameter of install.bat. Does Scorpio.exe work in console? Ponder about move with go- command?

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

Thank you Peter. I'm wondering about one more thing, one option in the program where it comes from. I mean option mt - number of threads to launch. Daniel (engine author) when configuring the mt option is 432 (tournament TCEC). Maybe someone can write where it comes from.

[Krzysztof Grzelak]

I have a question. And how to check what version of the Scorpio engine is.
