Title: claymore mining error help?
Post by: adamantasaurus on July 05, 2017, 02:25:24 PM
I'm setting up my first mining rig, and I got everything up and running and was following a tutorial to install the mining software (I chose claymore) and I made a bat file with the correct script but when I run the miner it keeps giving me these errors:

GPU 2 failed GPU 2, CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG

CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions. Setting DAG epoch #132 for GPU2 GPU 2 failed GPU 2, CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG GPU 2 failed

and then after it tells me my hash rates it says:

WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner :(
Restarting OK, exit...

And then runs again with the same thing happening.

I read the readme but can't find a solution any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ok thanks, how do I do that? I didn't mess with the clocking at all it is right out of the box? it says I'm getting about 25mh

I was going to say you are running out of VRAM because Claymore's DAG is cached there but I doubt it's that. Check out MSI Afterburner for clocks, overclocking, underclocking etc.

Yea, I put my virtual memory at min: 16384 max: 16384

so I will try messing around with my clocking and see if that works, thanks again
