i been mining ethereum for a couple weeks.. no issues.. just using the standard -G -F and the url..
i switched to the NH software a few days ago.. it uses some proxy thing, but it was working..

today a few hours ago my mining stopped.. it says..


Allocating/mapping single buffer failed with: clCreateBuffer(-61) GPU cant allocate DAG in a single chunk, Bailing.

i thought it might be the NH software so i tried to go back to regular ethminer.. but nope same error..


nothing has changed on the pc.. its running windows 10..


i had the catalyst 15.11 drivers installed.. but i tried going to the new 16.3 hotfix drivers and same thing..


my gpus are 2 r9 270X. i was getting around 34Mh/s with them.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

I couldn't even start mining it.  Got the exact same error.  Tried everything I could find.  Started mining another coin to trade for eth.

don't get me wrong, my eth miner is working good, so i think the problem lie on your os installation, i think you can try with a formatting/secure erase, or if you can run it on a VM with gpu passthrough

i dont see how.. it literally ran up until a few hours ago and its been running for a couple weeks.
i didnt reboot or anything, it just stopped mining with that error.

try adding --cl-extragpu-mem 0 to your command line. at some point it may require running the cards headless (no display).
my fork has this defaulted to 0 since 1.0.6

where do i download 1.0.6 for windows? i am using 1.0.3


edit that worked.. back in business.. thanks Smiley

ok so 0 isnt going to work, crash video driver.. i checked out what that does and it reserves gpu memory for windows? i am trying 16.. think i read it defaults 64? its MB?

its been running a few minutes at 16, no crashes yet.

Same issue here.

Got my 7870 running again with a bat file containing this:

setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT = 100 
ethminer -G -F http://poolstuff.com --cl-extragpu-mem 0

/offtopic.

No those are only for sha256 algorithm coins like bitcoin.

I read that somewhere else from people with 2GB Pitcairns. Not sure if anything can be done about it.

Try this on the original ethminer without the extra mem flag
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 95
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 95

And for the local work use 16384 for slighly higher hashrate

I tried the --cl-global-work 16384  --cl-local-work 64 and it gives higher result. But changing the 64 to 128 has no effect. Anybody notice that?

It is same for me. I use the 7990, which is 2x7970 or 280x.
