GTX 550Ti Nvidia graphic card on T-Rex loading error

[khlahan]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the site. Hope everyone is doing well. I recently purchased GTX 550T Nvidia graphic card and have encountered an error while trying to launch T-rex.exe "Can't start T-Rex, CUDA initialize error, memory dump: (lot of letters and numbers)". I am wondering if anyone has run into similar issue.

Regard,
R.

I wish people would mention their OS as this is guessing.

On linux run nvidia-smi from a terminal as it will say which cuda version it supports, but even though it is a GTX550Ti 4GB card I fear it might not be supported by all mining software anymore.

What do you expect? That GPU is older and no new mining software supports them anymore, the gtx550ti is using an older architecture and even older cuda version no matter what you try it's not going to work for mining

Thanks so much for all your responses. I am using Windows 10 Pro. Any advise for newer GPU, an affordable one?

The smallest of them all is gtx1660 and it's also the cheapest, mining ETH on the card you will get 26-27MH I have 7 of these cards and they consume just 50watt when mining, remember this is different from the 1660 super and ti, hope you got that

GeForce GTX 550 Ti was not used in mining even 4-5 years ago, it is a very old video card.
Look at the profit and choose the optimal video card,
I would rather buy 3060-3070 so that this video card is relevant for 3 or more years. Or analogs of AMD 6700-6800.
But not gtx1660.
