Doesn't Work On Nvidia Driver 384.76

[OctavioUlla]

Failed to allocate device memory for long state.

I have the same problem on Windows 10 64bit with driver 384.94...

Yea i had the same issue. First i made a group policy to make sure the user has rights to right stuff in the memory, but after doing this i still got the error.

Second try
Next to this driver i also installed CUDA driver 8.xx and yes then it was working :-)

But i only get 350h/s with my GTX 1060 3GB MSI GAMING X what seems a bit low. I see other people doing 450h/s. I know you have to put something in the batfile to control how much threads and blocks you want to use. For example -l 4x81. Then i think u are using 81 blocks of 4 threads.. but thats the part im still not sure about.

By the way this is my first post ever. I made an account to share you how i fixed it :-) If you have any good explanation to that blocks and threads issue.. please shoot :-)

Cheers

@maffiamaes thanks for the solution - will install CUDA driver 8.xx and try again.

As to the blocks/threads thing, it could be related to memory. My 1060 has 6GB of memory, and I'm guessing the same amount of threads with the same block size will run faster, because the blocks are already on the card, instead of having to be fetched through the PCIe bus? Try reducing it to -l 4x64 and see if your hashrate goes up or down?

That's the one I installed and it didn't fix it for me :(
