Better Lora config for tier 3 cards?

[1larity]

Chat GPT suggested that I change the LoRA pre-set (to help resolve a problem). Training with its suggestion seems to be 10x faster than the shipped defaults. I have no idea what it will sound like , so maybe it's terrible. Hell I barely know what half the settings do in the LoRA panel.
It looks like its going to do 1000 epoch in about 28 hours, which would take over a week with regular defaults.

rank (r): 128
alpha: 256
dropout: 0.05
lr: 1e-4
I left the rest as they come apart from save every 50 epochs, but it did suggest I might like to try also changing:-

batch_size: 1 (or 2 if stable)
grad_accum: 8 (effective batch 8/16)
epochs: 800
save_every: 50
seed: fixed (e.g. 42)
shift: default for your base (don’t tune first pass)
Two-stage schedule (better)

Epochs 1-500: lr=1e-4
Epochs 501-800: lr=5e-5

Any thoughts from the model experts?
