Leela Hardware Question

[Stephen Ham]

Hello All,

I recently upgraded my GPU to a GeForce RTX 5080, but my CPUs are AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-cores. Of course, only two cores are dedicated to Leela. I use Leela 32.0 with the BT4-1740 net on Cuda 12.

I'm an ICCF GM but a total dummy regarding hardware tech. An avid gamer buddy thinks that my CPUs might cause an underperformance. I ran my Leela benchmark: 17,340 NPS and submitted that to the Leela website. Unfortunately, no feedback was given regarding whether that score is good/poor/average.

My thinking is that since only two cores are dedicated to Leela, my CPUs should thus only be a minor factor regarding Leela's performance. Leela runs with 3+ cores, but the website still advocates using only two to avoid a data bottleneck.

My question is whether evidence confirms that my six year old CPUs cause reduced performance when mated with my new GPU.

Also, where can I find comparison Leela benchmarks? I found this website: https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/l ... 86c408e8e0
but what's displayed there looks odd. Some of it claims to be current data, but elsewhere it shows the data is from June 18, 2021, and referenced Leela 0.26.

Thanks in advance.
