Hello guys,

I've found out that every time I'm using a heavy workload (-w 4) the "Time Estimated" gets longer with time while the Speed doesn't change. A 10h job can reach 15h. Here-below a sample :

As you can see, it goes from ending at 22:28:59 to 23:41:57 while speed stays steady.

Also, restore points never work with -w 4


What could be the reason ?

There can be lots of reasons for this. Some other program may have used the GPU within those four hours, leading to a temporary speed drop. Or maybe thermal throttling kicked in, slowing the cards down sometime during the run.

Thanks for pointing that out, any idea regarding the restore point that doesn't update ?

If you use the latest beta, take a look at the salt position and try -S. With enough uncracked salts it might be fast enough to feed your GPUs.
