Topic: CUDA error 11-cannot write buffer for DAG - page 7. (Read 3706 times)
Same problem, mining with claymore and 3gb 1060, no problem with ETH, only with ETC.
Something else must be wrong. Im still mining on my 3GB's which are a mix of different brands, they are nothing special.
Try reinstalling drivers? Got another pc you could try one GPU in to confirm the problem is with that rig?

Had this same problem. Started to think like the others above, "Oh no i cant mine anymore as dag files too big for my GPU" etc.
Take DAG file size, multiply by number of GPUS and set virtual memory to this size.
For me;
12x3GB GPU's
12x2.3GB = 27.6 GB so set virtual memory to 32GB (bit of overhead for DAG file size increases).
Done.

Unfortunately it does not help, 6 cards with 30Gb virtual memory, still the same error.

Also the same here. 3GB 1060s can not start ETC, ETH fine. Once - eres solved, then no result, only error message.
One interesting thing, maybe a Windows techie can figure out something (I guess ir is Windows issue).
I run mixed rig of 3x1050s (4GB) and 3x1060s (3GB). I set up EBWF for ZEC for the 1050s only and Claymore for ETH for the 1060s only, on the same rig. If I start Claymore for the 1060s, it creates DAGs and starts mining, then I start EBWF, 1050s start ZEC and everything is good. But if I start EBWF for ZEC, then I start Claymore for 1060s,I get the same error message fir one 1060, always the same one and always for only one, Claymore dies and tries to restart, running into the same issue, loop.

-eres 0 fixed this problem for me while mining ETC. I have not tried it yet with ETH. I will prob. be moving to ETH soon as I have been toggling back and forth. No idea why it is not working for some. I have 12x 3gb Gigabyte OC cards (the cheapest 2 fan versions) on this rig
I still cant mining ETC. ETH is OK
me config

mining ETH with 3Gb is still possible and will still be possible for a while but you should not mine multiple coins at the same time, it will affect the hash rate of all coins. 6Gb cards are more suited for this.
take the command -eres 0 in the claymores bat file and you will be happy for sometimes more
thanks, it helped me 
you are wrong at all. My 1060-3 are mining Ether Classic as well now
Wow. The Big Thank's for the corrections.But do you know the meaning of this sentence:
but isn't sure because of Dag file ETH currently 2.3 GB maybe the real data more from 2.3 or approaching 3 GB. and GPU memory, not enough for save dag file. because GPU needs to load it before start mining.
CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.
Setting DAG epoch #177

looks pretty clear, dag file size might be too large for the gpu. I mean what did you expect you are using 3gb gpus
I should consider upgarde them to 6gb version is the last option then.CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

I think mining ETH is only 4 gb cards or higher now.

I should consider upgarde them to 6gb version is the last option then. Try a larger virtual memory. I was having that problem on my 1050ti's and increased the size and it seems to have helped so far. I do however see it pop back up after about a day though.
I'm setting virtual memory size minimum at 16000mb and maximum at 25000mb and it still not working. How much VMS you are setting at? I used to set it up to 40000mb and it still error like this. So sad Try a larger virtual memory. I was having that problem on my 1050ti's and increased the size and it seems to have helped so far. I do however see it pop back up after about a day though.
The 1050 ti has 4 gb of memory. And he stated that he allready had looked into the Virtual memory.
I wonder if it realy is done now for the 1060 3gb, I do Zcash, so I still could use them if the have a nice price

The day has come. 
You will need a 1060 6gb from now on, the 3gb on the other hand you can use for Zcash.
