Any ideas here. Still having this mem usage issue.

Also, I know it's been covered and I have searched but getting this error:

GPU #3 returned incorrect data! 3bdfb3


Gracias


okay  so no flash correct?

did you set the vm  to 16gb  if you are win 10 or win 7

do you use claymore?

NOTES:
1. Reduce intensity ("-i" option) if miner is unstable or if you see bad speed.
2. It seems there is no way to get full speed on latest drivers for Fiji cards, at least in Windows. So don't use latest drivers for Fury, use 15.12 or 16.3.2.


-i   mining intensity. Possible values: 0...9. 0 - lowest intensity and CPU usage, 9 - maximal intensity. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-i 2,5,6". Default value is "6".
   Note: reduce intensity if you get low speed or miner is unstable. Also check several values to find the best speed, for example, "-i 8" can be a bit faster than "-i 9" in some cases.


if you did not put in a number you are at -i 6 by default
try -i 5 in your .bat file


Thanks Phil again. I know how difficult it's gotta be teaching the new guys about the same basic shit for you all the time. Much appreciated.



Correct. No flash. It's stock. Just plugged in four days ago. I've been all ASIC prior to this rig. I downloaded AMD's latest drivers 22.19.157.3. These xfx rx 480 are Fiji? Going to read more about that.

I set the VM to 15.4 in Windows 10.
I'm using claymore via NiceHash (beginner shit)


------------------------------
I think the rest of the message is for the error: "GPU #3 returned incorrect data!"

So, I'll try to mod to the bat file. That could cause the instability in the memory usage on the single card and not the others?

After I get this stabilized I'd like to OC the cards. Does this prevent that mod?

Thanks again






don't call the drivers by those numbers.    they are  called  by this set of numbers  by most of us.

the 15's are oldest then the 16's then the 17's
don't use the 17's if you have rx 480's  use a 16.11 or a 16.12

google amd 16.11 download
I download from this site below all the time. they are pretty safe.

AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16.11.5 driver download
www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-software-crimson-16-11-5...
You can now download Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.11.5 driver. This release is focused on improved support for Watch Dogs 2. Radeon Software Crimson Edition is ..


here are some of the sets of drivers I did not write all down.
15.7
15.11
15.12

16.3.1
16.4.1
16.7.1
16.7.2
16.9.1
16.11.4

17.1.1
17.2.1
17.3.3
17.4.1
17.4.3

if you have rx 480's   try the 16.11 and 16.12

I am 90% sure you are on a high intensity then the gear will handle.
Do you have an i5 cpu ?
most people put in the low cost Celeron or pentium cpus

You get short resources and a card bombs out.
I stopped building 6 card miners a long time ago since I know what the max  power use in my house will ever be I know I can build 2,3,4 card rigs. And fit them all.

thus smaller psu's and cooler quieter gear is easy for me.

Also the vm should be   at least 16 not 15.4

if you have a bigger ssd do 24 or 32  won't hurt if your hdd/ssd is big enough
