What command line do u use to get 32.5k nonces? That is amazing! I thought gpu's would be way faster.

In anticipation of going to the moon ( Grin), I've bought a dozen more tb to add to my Burst mining!  As my wife works all day today, and I want to be lazy on my weekend and play video games, I decided to try Janror's cpu plotter so I can use my gtx 980.  To my astonishment, I'm getting nearly double the nonces/minute with my cpu than I was getting with my 980!
GTX 980: ~16k nonces/min
OC'd i7-5930k (4.4ghz): ~32.5k nonces/min (async mode)

I remember 2 years ago when the cpu plotter was first realeased and it was slow as fuck.  Wish I would of come back and tried the updated version with avx support...

Edit: And that's with only using 10 threads! Cheesy

Nothing tricky in my .bat:
Code:
wplotgenerator 4163282010088137402 76054000 7625000 25000 10 /async
PAUSE

I think it's more just high-end (and well overclocked) cpu.  Also, put in async mode, so plots are still being constantly generated, even when they're also being written to disk.  With gpu plotter, there's a lot of down time on the gpu because no plots are created while they're written to disk.  So ya, faster (and I imagine cheaper) plotting with cpu plotter.

Of course, the gpu plotter has capabilities to use lots of gpus and to write lots of plot files to different directories at the same time...
