This is an error usually found on Linux systems. Of course, if the above doesn't work, you might have your thread concurrency set way too high! Try starting with something lower, like 8192, and trying something higher if that works. The same issue might appear in Linux if export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 wasn't added to /etc/profile ( Debian, again) You're either using the wrong version of cgminer or missing the -scrypt flag read the second paragraph of this page.ĬlCreateBuffer, decrease TC or increase LGĮrrors about clCreateBuffer and needing to decrease your TC are usually found in Windows and can be resolved by running setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 in the Windows command prompt ( winkey+r > cmd).

Running cgminer, and troubleshooting it, is made much simpler by using a config file. It is highly suggested that you create a config file for cgminer it can resolve many issues and make editing your settings very easy. Newer cards might need version 3.7.2 in order to work more effectively (or at all) with the latest SDK/drivers. For older video cards, version 3.1.1 has no scrypt or GPU mining bugs, and there are no important changes between that version and the later ones. For the newer Rx series video cards, 3.7.2 might work better. Version 3.7.2 is the last version of cgminer to support video card (GPU) or scrypt mining the -scrypt flag has been removed from later versions.įor scrypt and GPU mining, the recommended version of cgminer is 3.1.1. Windows users must either compile the source into a binary or find an unofficial download. The source code of older versions are available to compile, therefore it can still be used for Linux-based GPU mining of scrypt coins.
#Cgminer for litecoin software#
It was the recommended software for mining cryptocoins such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, though the developer dropped support for scrypt and GPU mining, and it is no longer recommended for anything other than Bitcoin mining. Cgminer is cryptocoin mining software developed by Con Kolivas.
