So, I'm using a GTX 1060 and I have no issues mining eth on multipoolminer. But I can't get this to work what so ever, using:

Can anyone share as to why I keep getting this? Nvidia drivers are fully up to date. Not mining anything else, not even in the background.

Running into same error. Using 1060 6GB cards.

Add -eres 0 param

Add -eres 0 param

Solved for me, thx. But as I understand that fix it only for one or two epoch.

That's all folks. Time to switch to phoenix miner (BTW it have same cli).

[ifilgud]

Same problem here. Tried switching to PhoenixMiner but I cannot reach the same hashrate, instead of 26.5 I cannot go further 25 and having problems with overclocking. With same options (straps 3) I could use +700 Mhz and now I cannot go further +450 without having visual glitches. Anyone with the same problem?

[3E5F]

@ifilgud I switched over to PhoenixMiner too and works fine for me. What OS are you running on and what GPUs are you using?

[ifilgud]

Win 10 (my home computer), so cannot switch to another OS easily. And the card is a MSI Gaming X+ GTX 1060 6gb

Try BMiner. I reached almost the same hashrate using BMiner.

Hi, I've tried but the miner does not launch, it fails initializing CUDA complaining about NVML library. Thanks!

[bananaspliff]

after having lost a whole weekend to recompile the planet, I switched to nanominer... forget claymore (it works well only on ubuntu 16.04 and nvidia 390)

and... it works on 16.04 only if your PKCS key is secure (boot secure or not don't listen to these people on medium)

1. Use 16.3.7. Do not use the latest version.
2. Reinstall standard (not DCH) Nvidia driver.
3. If BMiner doesn't work after step 2, copy nvml.dll from C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI (create it if not exists).

It's a bit complex to solve the nvml issue. You can refer to my reply if you need to use BMiner.

I've tried that version and it doesn't work. My driver is the standard one too. The dll is present in the program files folder but not in system32. I tried to copy it there and in the miner folder, but it still fails. Thanks for the effort!
