Hi have to report some issues with my system

ryzen7 7800X3D 128GB RAM 1x1TB tmp nvme gtx 1080

my command to plot with is .\bladebit_cuda.exe -z 4 -f farmerkey -c contract cudaplot --disk-128 -t1 l:\temp\ l:\temp\1\ in a powershell loop to dont have problems with 128+ plots error

my result normally is: ` Bladebit Chia Plotter Version : 3.1.0-beta1 Git Commit : 076eba490f1c08b3a7bf10ea0a08f80be758c7b9 Compiled With: msvc 19.29.30151
