My mining rig uses AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor and the memory size is 8G. I was running 3 AMD 6600XT cards without any problems. Today I tried to add 3 more 6600XT, I got the errors:
21:35:28 GPU0: Generating DAG for epoch #447 [Single Buffer 4600 MB]
21:35:28 Error on GPU0: Failed to allocate memory buffer
21:35:28 Stopped Mining on GPU0
21:35:28 Miner terminated, watchdog will restart process after 10 seconds
I did some tests and found out that my rig can only run 3 cards, even if I add 1 more, it failed and got the errors.
Does anyone know the "Failed to allocate memory buffer" is because I only have 8G system memory? Or any other meaning?
Thanks
Fixed the problems. I tried PhoemixMiner and it gave more details about the errors. I increased the Window Page Size to Min 20G and Max 30G, the problems solved. Now I can run 6 GPUs without any issues.
