Dear VASP' users,

I'm trying performance the following structure of GaSb (5x5), but I don't know the number of KPOINTS required. Just a simple question, are right or wrong the KPOINTS used?

Thank you in advance....

My POSCAR:


(Ga Sb)75 (P1) ~ POSCAR (VASP)

please make convergence tests to check
