I have been getting below error since yesterday.
GPU1: Allocating DAG (3.96) GB; good for epoch up to #379
GPU1: Allocating buffers failed with: clCreateBuffer (-61)

All cards are 8GB.

Ethos running phoenix miner.

Any suggestions are welcome.

What version of Phoenix miner you running?

Ive got several ethos rigs running 5.0e and 5.1c with 4gb and 8gb cards no issue. 

Also have Claymore, Gminer, TeamRedMiner all running.  Keep seeing problems posted up but suspect most of that is windows.

Lmk ill try to help.

Hi. Thanks for your response.
I have 4.7c running currently.
I have 2 rigs running till yesterday and both of them stopped with this error.
Thanks for your help.

I assume you are using Miner-Manager to side load for ethos.

If so then do:

miner-manager phoenixminer update

or

miner-manager phoenixminer install

This should install the 5.2e (i havent needed it yet but am on 5.0/5.1

This should fix the issue.  There was some bug with 8gb cards that 5.2 fixes after a specific dag.

LMK (and get to diggin)

Just tested this on a mixed card rig 4/8 gb.

Seems 5.1c is the latest version of Phoenix miner linked to Ethos.  Good news is it works great!

[deskless]

Thank you. I was able to fix one rig using your suggestions.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, anything below 5.0 for Phoenix miner now gives that error, even on 8gb cards.

Ran into the same problem today 1/18/21. Contacted ETHOS support and was informed that phoenixminer 5.1c had this bug.
Since phoenixminer is not native to ETHOS, the regular miner update command does not work.
Suggested to use...
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cynixx3/third-party-miner-installer-for-ethos/master/miner-manager) phoenixminer update
This updated to phoenixminer 5.4c and the problem was fixed.

Ethos running phoenix miner.

in CFG phoenixminer use "-eres 1" for cached 1 dag/epoch

i had the same problem with some of my rigs. They run on 5.1c. The only thing that helped me fixing the problem was upgrading the AMD driver and miner software to 5.4.

lol.
Your graphics card has 3GB of RAM. If you try to mine Ethereum on it, then you will fail. The dag file of the Ethereum coin already exceeds 4 GB.
You can try to mine Ethereum classic, but considering the power consumption of your video card and its hashrate, mining on it will bring you very little profit.
I sold these cards after Ethereum's dag file exceeded 3GB.

People looks like you are on windows. Just add more virtual memory.6gpu=60gb 8gpu =80gb maybe this it too big but for make sure it has been told many times.
