Hello to everyone!

Few days ago my 1060 3gb stoped mining ETH due to this:
Code:
CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

I've started to workaround on this.
I've tried to mine musicoin and it was working good, then I changed my epools file and pushed 'r' to switch back to ETH, and wow! dag file for ETH was created succesfully and minnig was started.

But it is not very useful solution for this, is there any settings to resolve this in a proper way?

my config file is:
Code:
-r 1
-retrydelay 5
-mport 0
-dcri 20
-altnum 1
-dcoin sia
-mode 1
-dbg -1
-allcoins 1
here is my output where I'm switching to ETH from MUSIC:
Code:
Total cards: 6
ETH: Stratum - connecting to 'musicoin.miningclub.info' <137.74.172.54> port 8558 (unsecure)
ETHEREUM-ONLY MINING MODE ENABLED (-mode 1)
ETH: eth-proxy stratum mode
"-allcoins" option is set, default pools will be used for devfee, check "Readme" file for details.
Watchdog enabled
