Hi! I have a GTX 1050 4GB mobile but I can’t mine æ. The problem I get is:

Failed to initialize miner on GPU0: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 4GB [0000:01:00.0]: out of memory

for Gminer and

I know some might say don’t mine from your laptop but my temps are ok so that’s is not a problem. My intel graphics card is outputting the screen so the memory isn’t used by my screen. I checked my available graphics memory via hwinfo and I had 4021 MB free memory only 75MB was used. Can you help me with mining æ is there something I am missing like a config setting or smth ?

Unfortunately you need more than 4GB of memory, the Cuckoo POW algorithm is about finding cycles in a large graph so it requires a large chunk of memory (somewhere between 6 and 8 GB, can’t remember exactly…)

I have no idea, I have not been following the miner development in a long time, sorry. Best advice, try it out and see if it works! And if you find something interesting, please share it with the forum!

where would i change that E value though that’s what I’m confused on. I use Gminer.
