Hello o7
I am trying to mine some ETC Classic but something it is bad with DAG generator aka:
GPU1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (pcie 1), CUDA cap. 6.1, 3 GB VRAM, 9 CUs
GPU1: Allocating DAG (2.66) GB; good for epoch up to #213
CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:388 : out of memory (2)
GPU1: CUDA memory: 3.00 GB total, 2.43 GB free
GPU1 initMiner error: out of memory
Fatal error detected. Restarting.
Ok acording to GPU-Z gpu what i want to use for mining it have in use 151 MB ok, now let's do some simple math 3000 MB - 151 MB = 2849 MB free, soo IF DAG it require 2.66 then i will do agen math 2849 - 2660 = 189 MB Free!!! so my question is how program it not have inaff free GPU memory ?! i am scraching my head trying to not get in infinite loop error
p.s. gpu what i try to use is secondary for windows /own need i have other one ... same i was test nanominer it working, gminer and lolminer same issue fail on DAG allocation with is strange ...
p.s. from logs made by nanominer = 2021-May-03 05:10:47: GPU0: 2711 MB DAG generated in 8.26 seconds
acording

cheers
If you have onboard vga then swith then try again. or use hiveos.
Looks like you are using windows right? If so windows uses alot memory when you connect monitor. also you can add -eres 0 to not allocate 2 epoch dag.
I have 2 GPU:
1. GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
2. GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 2GB
3. Windows 10 Pro 20H2
4. For tuning i use Msi AF GTX 1060 3GB = Power Limit 68-70, Core Clock: 150, Memory Clock: 500
5. GPU from CPU it is completly disable i not need
6. 12 G Ram - Swap = 16384 - 20480
7. I use -gpus 1 command in bat file aka it chose only 1060 one
8. I mine in this condition in past ETH (when dag was lower), BTG (work perfectly) and other varios coin
9. Command used: PhoenixMiner.exe -gpus 1 -rvram -1 -eres 0 -coin etc -pool pollname -wal wallet.worker
GPU.Z Vram
https://i.imgur.com/uHSXtsu.pngSimple math: 3000 - 150 (windows 10 cut crap) = 2850 FREE - 2660 (DAG required) = 190 FREE VramWhen i mine i make 650 Default / Main gpu for use (changing main monitor ...) for browsing, watching movie, reading news it is perfect ... soo 1060 it is completly free and dedicate only to mining purpuse
I am doing this for fun, i know it is not optimal or geting great result but heh if i can do it why not.
