Title: Cuda Error - Cannot allocate big buffer for DAG
Post by: Neo.wav on September 07, 2019, 07:33:32 PM
I am new to the mining sector and as nicehash is a minor beginner, I wanted to go on Claymore, but it does not work. This is a console screen and the contents of the bat file. Thank you for all the help you would give me

cmd : https://ibb.co/84Yndv9

bat :setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu.cruxpool.com:5555 -ewal 0xFd31C4e515e4783AcfE0Ab349dfFf278b2EAf1e8 -eworker Neowave -epsw x -mode 1 -etht 100 -gser 2 -ttli 75

Sorry , it's done. Do you have any idea where the problem might come from ?

did you set the virtual memory to more than 16 gb?
which nvidia gpu are you using?
if the vram is 3gb then it is not sufficient to mine eth in windows

AFAIK, the 3GB version of GTX1060 can't mine Ethereum anymore, you should have bought the 6GB version.
I don't know how others managed to mine using that card, perhaps, Ethereum forks.

Or read this reddit post: Are 3GB cards officially dead? (https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/ad7ybo/are_3gb_cards_officially_dead/)

which nvidia gpu are you using?
if the vram is 3gb then it is not sufficient to mine eth in windows
The console log says "GEFORCE GTX1060 3GB"  ;)

You can continue to mine shitcoins that use Ethash algorithm for 3GB cards in Windows.In Linux thay used to continue to mine but I believe they will have trouble there too trying to mine Ethereum or Ethereum classic.They are almost officially dead for mining I think.

I recommend you use windows 7 system. Increase the swap file to at least 16 gigabytes, and also install cuda 10.
