Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: CryptoWatcher420 on February 05, 2018, 01:48:43 AM looks pretty clear, dag file size might be too large for the gpu. I mean what did you expect you are using 3gb gpus
Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: abstractHaze on February 05, 2018, 01:51:47 AM 3gb gpus are starting to fail with cuda error 11. depending on brand and how much mem is stacked off the bat.
Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: Didi CC on February 05, 2018, 02:33:34 AM The day has come. ;D
You will need a 1060 6gb from now on, the 3gb on the other hand you can use for Zcash. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: Zorlofe on February 05, 2018, 02:46:34 AM Try a larger virtual memory. I was having that problem on my 1050ti's and increased the size and it seems to have helped so far. I do however see it pop back up after about a day though.
Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: Didi CC on February 05, 2018, 03:12:58 AM Try a larger virtual memory. I was having that problem on my 1050ti's and increased the size and it seems to have helped so far. I do however see it pop back up after about a day though. The 1050 ti has 4 gb of memory. And he stated that he allready had looked into the Virtual memory. I wonder if it realy is done now for the 1060 3gb, I do Zcash, so I still could use them if the have a nice price ;) Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: tuneltn on February 05, 2018, 04:42:30 AM Try a larger virtual memory. I was having that problem on my 1050ti's and increased the size and it seems to have helped so far. I do however see it pop back up after about a day though. I'm setting virtual memory size minimum at 16000mb and maximum at 25000mb and it still not working. How much VMS you are setting at? I used to set it up to 40000mb and it still error like this.

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: catmilk on February 05, 2018, 05:17:17 AM take the command -eres 0 in the claymores bat file and you will be happy for sometimes more

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: WolfH on February 09, 2018, 01:35:52 PM I still cant mining ETC. ETH is OK

I have not tried it yet with ETH. I will prob. be moving to ETH soon as I have been toggling back and forth. No idea why it is not working for some. I have 12x 3gb Gigabyte OC cards (the cheapest 2 fan versions) on this rig

3GB cards still usable till April 2019 Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: xtom1050 on February 10, 2018, 08:56:34 AM Also the same here. 3GB 1060s can not start ETC, ETH fine. Once - eres solved, then no result, only error message.
One interesting thing, maybe a Windows techie can figure out something (I guess ir is Windows issue). I run mixed rig of 3x1050s (4GB) and 3x1060s (3GB). I set up EBWF for ZEC for the 1050s only and Claymore for ETH for the 1060s only, on the same rig. If I start Claymore for the 1060s, it creates DAGs and starts mining, then I start EBWF, 1050s start ZEC and everything is good. But if I start EBWF for ZEC, then I start Claymore for 1060s,I get the same error message fir one 1060, always the same one and always for only one, Claymore dies and tries to restart, running into the same issue, loop. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: eniacs on February 10, 2018, 09:41:18 AM Had this same problem. Started to think like the others above, "Oh no i cant mine anymore as dag files too big for my GPU" etc.
Take DAG file size, multiply by number of GPUS and set virtual memory to this size. For me; 12x3GB GPU's 12x2.3GB = 27.6 GB so set virtual memory to 32GB (bit of overhead for DAG file size increases). Done.

Unfortunately it does not help, 6 cards with 30Gb virtual memory, still the same error. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: eniacs on February 10, 2018, 12:39:49 PM Something else must be wrong. Im still mining on my 3GB's which are a mix of different brands, they are nothing special.
Try reinstalling drivers? Got another pc you could try one GPU in to confirm the problem is with that rig? Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: dzeb on February 10, 2018, 04:55:09 PM Same problem, mining with claymore and 3gb 1060, no problem with ETH, only with ETC.

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: bitcoin.dbi on February 10, 2018, 09:52:01 PM Got the same problem all day long today on 2 rigs...

1063. 1066. 1050 ti. Doesnt metter.... All got the same problem. AMD worked fine.. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: Ahorradorr on February 11, 2018, 02:19:29 PM good morning
friends tell them what I use I have working 8 GPU 1060 3gb and today I present the problem cuda 11. Thanks to the -eres command 0 solve it.

For reference I have working with the 382.33 msi driver on the msi z170a board Happy day thanks for the solution Happy you :) Good to hear it is solved for someone, this command solved me once, the stopped miner and since restarting it has been doing nothing, getting error. Same applies for lidag or allcoins etc commands, they do not help :( Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: WolfH on February 12, 2018, 06:10:59 AM I have 2x 1060 3GB
ETC dont work on WIN 10 ETH work on WIN 10 but... ETC and ETH work on LINUX :) i think is WIN 10 problem. He take 200mb or more from GPU.

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: pigseye on February 12, 2018, 03:33:49 PM Trying to mine ETC in Windows 10 (version 1709) with Gigabyte 1060 3gb and no luck with Claymore or Phoenix miners with -eres 0 setting and Nvidia drivers 390.65. This is on the ethteam pool.
Going to roll back drivers to 382.33 to see what happens. I can mine Ethereum in Claymore with the -eres 0 setting in the suprnova pool so having an issue with Etc is surprising. Does the pool make a difference? I don't see how it could. Any other suggestions? Edit - RESOLVED! Rolling back to 382.33 drivers fixed the issue! So at least for a little while longer I can mine ETC on 3GB 1060s Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: ansuz on February 12, 2018, 04:01:45 PM I have same problem.

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: begnme on March 01, 2018, 04:47:58 PM I recommend you do the following: Install a fresh copy of Windows 10. Patch it up completely. Set your Virtual memory to 30GB. Capture an image. Install the latest GPU driver. In NVIDIA 3d settings optimize for compute and DSR 2X. If direct X ever tries to install cancel it. (I can never get the rig to mine when this installs). I followed these basic steps to get two different rigs mining on Windows 10. They seem to be mining at about 30% faster than when they ran windows 7.
The very first time I overclocked, mining was about 10% faster. However, in a very short time, the motherboard ethernet died and I had issues with a GPU. Even if it was just a coincidence I have decided 10% is not worth it so I no longer overclock :) I hope this helps. I spent two weekends getting this right.

https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size You can still use 3GB Cards for other coins just not for ETH or ETC mining if you try now you will either get the above error or out of memory . let me reword what i meant my bad if you use windows 10 fully updated to the latest update it hits 3gb, i didn't think about that, some others were nice enough to point that out in a nice way in another thread . Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: Reed1981 on March 05, 2018, 12:08:58 PM I got it to work with these settings (I think you just have to have a 4Gb+ card or the integrated graphics card to drive your monitor, freeing up space):
Windows 10. Claymore miner 10 (nanopool but that doesn't matter), with "-lidag 3" only added to config/start.bat, only Ethereum mining. Nvidia Driver 382.33 (read somewhere that it helped). Got CUDA errors when I installed another 3Gb card a few weeks ago, but they fixed themselves when I switched from using a 3Gb card to power my 4K monitor, so that helped. Right now running 2x 3Gb cards in Claymore without issues, but *after* they had CUDA errors. Only switched GPU so the main one is my 1060 6Gb (but an integrated one might work as well).

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: nitrobg on March 19, 2018, 07:32:48 AM Quoting myself here as well for visibility because it seems like some people are starting to get hit by the memory limit:
The problem is only for Windows 10 1709. Switch to Windows Server 2016 or any Linux distro and you'll be fine. ETH is still unaffected by this, though - only ETC, because it is few epochs ahead. But ETH should hit the 3GB Windows limit within a month or so. If you still got a problem - try using the iGPU as primary or get another card with more memory as the main one.

I got 4x1060 3GB and 1x1060 6GB, started having "Cuda error 11......" this tuesday, was looking for solution all this time. First thing that helped me, temporary though, was this: 1. Set swap file to 0mb / diasble it 2. Defrag the system drive, so it has continuous chunk of free space big enough for placing your swap file in one piece. 3. Set the swap file size to 14750mb 4. Profit!! It worked for me, but it didnt work for long, on the next day the problem came back... So i started digging again. And here's what i found (the problem i had - was with the NHML 1.8.10, so the method will be described for this miner, if you use claymore itself - it is even easier): 1. Open \internals\MinerOptionPackage_ClaymoreDual.json in your NHML folder using any text editor (i.e. notepad) 2. Find "Type": "ClaymoreDual_eres", set "0" instead of "2" to the "Default": "2" parameter 3. Save changes 4. Restart NHML 5. Profit!! P.S. Just found that there are 2 lines in "\internals\MinerOptionPackage_ClaymoreDual.json" with "Type": "ClaymoreDual_eres" parameter, i onle changed lower one, and everything works fine for.

I was desperate and was searching google and come to this thread, I thought mining Ethereum with 3gb cards was over at Dag 177 but that is not the case, just edit your start.bat file in Claymore miner and also if you are using nicehash in 3rd party miners in Claymore do the same.
Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: BiteByte on March 27, 2018, 09:01:19 PM Thanks all - this tread helped us and we are backup and running on ETH for a month anyway ;D ;D ;D
Epoch 177 DAG 2.38 GB 6x 1060's 3GB Windows 10 ver.1709 Swapfile 21GB NVIDIA drivers 371 Claymore 11.5 -eres 0 added to the end of the command line Claymore was updated Swapfile increased - did not work until -eres 0 was added No further testing with other settings as it worked off the bat with the above, so left as is. -eres This setting is related to Ethereum mining stability. Every next Ethereum epoch requires a bit more GPU memory, miner can crash during reallocating GPU buffer for new DAG. To avoid it, miner reserves a bit larger GPU buffer at startup, so it can process several epochs without buffer reallocation. This setting defines how many epochs miner must foresee when it reserves GPU buffer, i.e. how many epochs will be processed without buffer reallocation. Default value is 2.

Today I stopped Claymore and restarted, it said not enough memory but will try - and succeeded :) 3Gb 1060s mining ETH on ethermine.org :P I hope it will work for others, too.

I tried it and at the beginning it said that the epoch number is too big for the 3 Gb cards in Windows 10 and that miner will try to allocate more memory to the cards. Waited a few seconds and they started mining with 24.2 Mhsh each card which is a good number.
Update your miner to 11.7 from Claymore and also I have latest Nvidia drivers installed.

mining on WIN10 6GPU 1060 to get Eth on Claymore Solved this problem with updating Claymore up to 11.7! NVIDIA drivers still the same for 1060 376.33 Nice and Easy. By the way, I've got 15 work machines, so this trick really works!

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: swogerino on April 28, 2018, 01:06:04 PM Has any of you encountered again this problem at dag epoch number 184. Until now it has worked great with latest claymore but today started giving the usual error again.
I don't know what to do, don't want mine musicoin again. Mining ethereum directly i was making more money in a day.

I am sure he will work to fix it as there are many miners with Windows 10 so I think he will not want to lose these miners. If I were him I wouldn't let the miner fee from these persons run away for what I believe will be a simple fix for a programmer of the Claymore calibre.

I had the same problem with CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions. after upgrade nvidia drivers (7 x GTX 1060 6GB) and Claymore's 11.7. I try lbr tip but this solved problem only in half way couse trully Claymore's run OK but I had some msg from OS that is a problem with my virtual memory and the OS must shutdown Claymore's... (No matter if I changed setting for virtual memory or not) ppl say, that only W10(not W10 per ce but WDDM 2.x) has this limitation(reserved and unusable vRAM). So prly W8.1 will work. Also we checked and 8x1060 work fine on W7. But you have to to this - https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/738070/cuda-setup-and-installation/8x-gpu-gtx-issue-under-windows/ However, for some reason DualMiner was crashing with 8xGPU. Two instances worked tho. Also Quadro/Tesla owners can use TCC mode. After that I restored a whole system image and do some tests and... everything works fine. At now my rig works on this settings without DAG or virtual memory problem: Win10 x64 Claymore's 11.7 nvidia drivers 385.69 OS auto update option is disabled BTW: thare are new driver on nvidia support Official Nvidia GeForce Game Ready 397.55 Hotfix http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4661 (http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4661) but I tested it and they still have a problem with DAG and Virtual memory. I think that is a problem with new nvidia drivers and CUDA, so we must wait for some fix and new version of drivers.

Octominer B8PLUS 8 GPU motherboard 60 GB mSATA SSD 8 GB RAM Windows 10 1803 x64 Nvidia driver 397.93-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe 8 x Gainward GTX 1060 6GB Claymore Dual Miner v11.7 (in single mode, mining only ETH) To get this running, I had to increase pagefile to 24GB, 16GB wasn't enough for me. Then it started just fine, mining ~160 MHs ETH before I look into tuning these cards. No need for '-eres 0' option at my end. Actually 24GB was probably just about enough, as my overall commited memory in task manager indicated 31.2GB of 31.9GB was in use. (so I increased the pagefile to 32GB just to be safe, as I did actually have the space for it on my tiny 60GB drive; think I need to invoke CompactOS feature in Win10). Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: swogerino on May 28, 2018, 07:38:53 PM For all the folks here telling us that their Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb is working without problems, it should work without problems as this is a DAG size problem. The problem hits the 1060 3GB version especially in Windows 10 because this OS keeps a bit of the GPU for their in and out operation (yes even when you have made your primary GPU the processor graphics).
The DAG size is almost getting bigger and bigger above 2.48 GB actually for Ethereum and because Windows 10 keeps a bit of the GPU for its operation, the Claymore miner or any other miner cannot mine Ethereum anymore under this operating system. Nothing to do except getting back to Windows 7 or Linux in order to keep mining Ethereum until April 2019 when DAG will reach officially 3 GB in size. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: lbr on May 29, 2018, 12:00:20 AM Nothing to do except getting back to Windows 7 or Linux in order to keep mining Ethereum until April 2019 when DAG will reach officially 3 GB in size. Or Win 8.1 / 2012 R2 Btw, max epoch I could reach on Server 2008 - 231, 2012 R2 - 230. Friend of mine tried *nix(EthOS I think) - 230 max. Server 2019 - same as Win10. Killing DWM and explorer or Core(no GUI) install does not help. So not April, but Jan prly. Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: karton_av on May 30, 2018, 02:08:44 PM Hi there guys (and girls, maybe)!
Few months ago, when epoch 186 came and all my 1060 lost there sence, I decided to start working on Ubuntu. Now, all my GPUs are working well on linux. And I'm pleased enough! There work became more stable, true. But you can have some troubles with linux if your gpus are not the same on one work machine. Cheer up! In such situation you can use Windows 7 Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: rain320 on June 19, 2018, 11:21:42 PM Hi ,I had same problem after recent win 10 updates (6 x GTX 1060 6GB) and Claymore's 11.7 ,my solution I had 16GB virtual memory ,I increased to 24 GB (24576 MB) , all 6 gpus are working fine like before !

Title: Re: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG Post by: jdcryptoanon on August 11, 2018, 06:59:37 PM Hi everyone,
I was tracking down this issue for a long time. I finally resolved it 5 minutes ago. 8 gpu rig (1070's) Windows 10 2 850w PSU's 8gb ram 1. Reset windows https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc 2. Set paging file to min16000- max30000 3. Install latest NVidia drivers 988.2 as of August 2018. 4. Install Claymore 11.9 5. Enable (Allow access) through windows defender if the firewall message pops up the first time you run the miner (see below for what happened to me and caused something to be blocked by the firewall) 5. Here are my claymore settings: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555 -ewal d029a5fa47d499e56df257a2e73617e2ae84290b.Banger -mode 1 -lidag 1 Here's how I came to the steps above: The miner settings didn't seem to matter, but I did -eres 0 and -lidag 1 to no avail. I upgraded system memory from 4gb to 8gb. I think this helped allowing me to use less virtual memory. I added 850psu (upgraded from a 550w), so now my system has 2 850psu's I tried old and new Nvidia drivers. Currently i'm using the latest NVidia drivers I was on claymore 10.0 and it suddenly stopped working. I upgraded to 11.9 and also tried 11.6, to no avail. **Here's the key part: In order to upgrade the miner, I had to disable the firewall. Something with that screwed things up. So here is what I did to fix the issue: I did the Reset Windows option https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc** Once that was done, my paging file options went from 22000max to 30000max. So, I updated it to 16000 / 30000 paging file. Then, I started miner and still got the error. But the firewall popped up and said something was blocked!! So, I clicked "allow access" on that window. Restarted miner and boom, all working great now! HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
