Topic: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG (Read 3706 times)

Sell card and buy one with more GPU RAM. Mining with 4GB Nvidia cards on windows is over. Nothing more to say sorry

Is there a way to fix this error???
I have nvidia 1050i with 4Gb ram and still have this error!

How are there 8 pages of responses to a thread with a such an obvious answer.

Run linux and you dont have these problems. People only run windows because they are too lazy to learn something new.

Be less lazy.

Make more profits.

Depending on your setup and installed version of Windows, you have a few different ways to Windows 10 factory reset a laptop or desktop

First: Make Sure You Back Up
1. The Built-In Reset Option on Windows 10
2. Use the “Fresh Start” Option in Windows 10
3. Reinstall Using Windows Installation Media
4. Advanced Factory Reset Options

Thanks!
I started having this issue today just on one of the three miners i have with 1060 3GB cards, ODD! -eres 0 fixed it, thank you.

indkt.

My fix was -eres 0 , for gtx 1060 3gb, and this is important...do not close miner if you get errors, it will try reconnect several times, after a while miners will start w/o error.

Hi everyone,

I was tracking down this issue for a long time.  I finally resolved it 5 minutes ago.

8 gpu rig (1070's)
Windows 10
2 850w PSU's
8gb ram

1. Reset windows https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc
2. Set paging file to min16000- max30000
3. Install latest NVidia drivers 988.2 as of August 2018.
4. Install Claymore 11.9
5. Enable (Allow access) through windows defender if the firewall message pops up the first time you run the miner (see below for what happened to me and caused something to be blocked by the firewall)
5. Here are my claymore settings:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555 -ewal d029a5fa47d499e56df257a2e73617e2ae84290b.Banger -mode 1 -lidag 1


Here's how I came to the steps above:

The miner settings didn't seem to matter, but I did -eres 0 and -lidag 1 to no avail.

I upgraded system memory from 4gb to 8gb.  I think this helped allowing me to use less virtual memory.

I added 850psu (upgraded from a 550w), so now my system has 2 850psu's

I tried old and new Nvidia drivers.  Currently i'm using the latest NVidia drivers

I was on claymore 10.0 and it suddenly stopped working.  I upgraded to 11.9 and also tried 11.6, to no avail.

**Here's the key part:  In order to upgrade the miner, I had to disable the firewall.  Something with that screwed things up.  So here is what I did to fix the issue:  I did the Reset Windows option https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/reset-windows-10-pc**

Once that was done, my paging file options went from 22000max to 30000max.  So, I updated it to 16000 / 30000 paging file.  Then, I started miner and still got the error.  But the firewall popped up and said something was blocked!!  So, I clicked "allow access" on that window.  Restarted miner and boom, all working great now!

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

sorry my mistake system has 8 gb already not 4gb ram

Just in Case, have you tried adding some physical RAM?

just thinking you've messing around with 6+ cards

Hello i have same issue but  i am using 5 gigabyte 1070Ti  8gb   and 5 gigabyte 1060 6GB

So there is no way cards do not have enough memory.
if i run any 5 cards separately no issues just if mix them in any way at once cuda 11 errors start.   

Any advice ?

windows 10
4 Gb ram

tried to play with virtual memory - does not help

thank you

Cool, would you please let me know where to order 4Gb 1060s

All others with 3Gb variants, move to HiveOS, easy and stable. FO Windows.

Hi ,I had same problem after recent win 10 updates (6 x GTX 1060 6GB) and Claymore's 11.7 ,my solution  I had 16GB virtual memory ,I increased to 24 GB (24576 MB) , all 6 gpus are working fine like before !
     

Hi there guys (and girls, maybe)!
Few months ago, when epoch 186 came and all my 1060 lost there sence, I decided to start working on Ubuntu. Now, all my GPUs are working well on linux. And I'm pleased enough! There work became more stable, true.
But you can have some troubles with linux if your gpus are not the same on one work machine.
Cheer up! In such situation you can use Windows 7

Or Win 8.1 / 2012 R2

Btw, max epoch I could reach on Server 2008 - 231, 2012 R2 - 230.
Friend of mine tried *nix(EthOS I think) - 230 max.
Server 2019 - same as Win10. Killing DWM and explorer or Core(no GUI) install does not help.

So not April, but Jan prly.

For all the folks here telling us that their Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb is working without problems, it should work without problems as this is a DAG size problem. The problem hits the 1060 3GB version especially in Windows 10 because this OS keeps a bit of the GPU for their in and out operation (yes even when you have made your primary GPU the processor graphics).

The DAG size is almost getting bigger and bigger above 2.48 GB actually for Ethereum and because Windows 10 keeps a bit of the GPU for its operation, the Claymore miner or any other miner cannot mine Ethereum anymore under this operating system. Nothing to do except getting back to Windows 7 or Linux in order to keep mining Ethereum until April 2019 when DAG will reach officially 3 GB in size.

What works for me/my rig:

Octominer B8PLUS 8 GPU motherboard
60 GB mSATA SSD
8 GB RAM
Windows 10 1803 x64
Nvidia driver 397.93-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe
8 x Gainward GTX 1060 6GB
Claymore Dual Miner v11.7 (in single mode, mining only ETH)

To get this running, I had to increase pagefile to 24GB, 16GB wasn't enough for me.

Then it started just fine, mining ~160 MHs ETH before I look into tuning these cards. No need for '-eres 0' option at my end.

Actually 24GB was probably just about enough, as my overall commited memory in task manager indicated 31.2GB of 31.9GB was in use. (so I increased the pagefile to 32GB just to be safe, as I did actually have the space for it on my tiny 60GB drive; think I need to invoke CompactOS feature in Win10).

i have a rig with 5 zotac 1050ti and 2 1060 4 gb oc, on windows 10
i  had a same problem after updated my windows and then
i increase virtual memory of windows like this http://www.techiepaw.com/use-hard-drive-as-ram/
and its work.

Hello everyone, just to update as window 10 was stop working with eth I started HiveOS but it's keep offline in hour or two,
Do anything one have same problem ?

Hello team, I am facing again same problem CUDA 11 error, do anyone face same problem ? ,
My rig details
Win 10
Gtx 1060. 3gb
Nvidia 376.33

About 1 month i get this error with my 1060 3Gb, i ve switch to X16r...

Win10 creator update x64 - Driver 390.77 Nvidia.
