Hey guys,
I was just about to set up a ETH miner, but I always get the error, that the DAG file could not be allocated.
I use QtMiner on Windows 7 64 Bit with a HD 6950 (2GB).
Anyone has an idea what's the problem?

2gb is near the limit already it's better to have a bigger card with 3-4 gb or more, but i believe this is related to something else

The system has only 2 GB ram. Some ppl said the problem was solved after adding more ram... but I don't think that this is the problem.

This one might be a solution.
But I don't know what to do exactely.
Currently I start the miner with a batch: qtminer.exe -u 0x17C0Be*********32D4cA9569EBA3d9B605CF2.Rig1 -G
What do I need to add here and where?

I heard the HD 6950 does not mine Ethereum. I do not know the reason for that. Maybe the OpenCL version is too old. |

Try some really old drivers 11 or 12 series, it worked for my 6990. But hashrate was so slow that it is more profitable to mine DCR with it. |

DCR?
Is it profitable to mine it?

It is far from goldmine with 6950 but can still be profitable. I think 6950 does 0.6-0.7GH, flash it to 6970 and it does 0.8GH. That would earn you closer to one DCR (~0.005BTC) per day. |

I have done some overclocking. I just started a miner and it does 1,3 Gh/s
And tomorrow I will have a second 6950 flashed to 6970.. so maybe something around 2,5 -3 Gh/S
Do you know a marketplace to trade DCR to BTC?

The miner reports the incorrect hashrate should be half that. A 6950 will do 0.6Ghs. You can sell DCR at Bittrex. |

You might be right. I have nearly exact 50% stale shares. So only 50% of the 1,3 Gh/s.

Try this
--vectors 1 --no-submit-stale --gpu-threads 1 --scan-time 2 --queue 0

Perfect, thank you. Now it shows 620 Mh/s in the miner with no stale shares. Pool also shows ~ 600 now  |

One more question. I have got 2 GPU's now. One 6970 and one 6950. I get "Pool 0 not providing work fast enough" like every minute. Is there any possibility to get the work faster or change to another pool? I had the same problem already with one card. |
