So I'm trying to spin up lolminer for ETH on an older machine I have sitting around doing nothing. It has a GeForce GTX970 4gb card in it, and when I try to launch lolminer I get the following message:
"Loading of OpenCL library not successful. Exiting lolMiner."
I tried this with both the newer 382.05 GeForce driver, and with reverting to an older 347.52 driver version. Also tried with both lolminer 1.20 and 1.21 versions. Yes I am launching with the mine_etg_4G.bat version because this is a 4GB card.
I'm running lolminer on two other machines equipped with GTX1660Ti cards and they are running fine, so I know I the lolminer basics right.
Any ideas on how to get this GTX970 working? What's the problem with OpenCl, given that I'm not having a problem with the 1660Ti?
lol you tried a 4 years old driver (382) and a 6 years old driver (347.52) with a miner that was released in 2020? you find your failure? Maybe use a newer driver? 430 for example, and the gtx 970 is no 4gb card dude. It have 3,5gb gddr5 and 0,5gb slow ddr3 ram and nvidia called it 4gb
This card cannot mine ETH anymore, mine beam, equihash 192,7 or something else.
By the way, try t-rex for your nvidia cards, best nvidia miner in my opinion. (for newer cards after gtx970)
