Description

Hi

I am passing a `seed` via the booster config as well as `"seed_per_iteration": True,`

I am training with the `iterator` method on a single GPU.

I notice the pattern below when training two models with identical seeds where test metrics diverge after a certain round during training.

I notice the same pattern with a smaller diff on the training metrics

This is with xgboost built from source but post-3.0.5

Is this a known issue? thanks
