I've tested with Windows 7 and works great, now I want to run PhoenixMiner 2.8c with Windows 10.0.16299.334 with the last patches in the same Workstation (Intel s5000psl, 2 Intel Xeon E5450 processors for a total of 8 cores, 32Gb RAM, EVGA nVidia 1060GTX 3Gb, a virtual memory assigned to 16Gb Min/64Gb Max) but appear the follow issue:

GPU1: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (pcie 7), CUDA cap. 6.1, 3 GB VRAM, 9 CUs
Listening for CDM Remote manager at port 3333 in read only
Eth: the pool list contains 4 pools
Eth: primary pool: eu1.ethpool.org:3333

Starting GPU mining
Eth: Connection to ethash pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 (proto: QtMiner)
Eth:Connected to ethash pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 (35.198.113.32)
GPU1: 54C 16%
Eth: New Job #03b29753 from eu1.ethpool.org:3333; diff 4000MH
GPU1: Starting up...(0)
Eth: Generating light cache for epoch #178
Eth: Allocating DAG (2.41) GB; good for epoch up to #180
Eth speed: 0.000 M/s, shares: 0/0/0, time: 0:00

CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:205 : out of memory (2)
GPU1 initMiner error: out of memory
Thread(s)  not responding. Restarting.


In an infinite loop until I close the window, I've used the following syntax in the bat file:

PhoenixMiner.exe -coin eth -nvidia -gpus 1 -pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -pool2 asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -wal wallet.workername -proto 3


or

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethpool.org:3333 -pool2 asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -wal wallet.workername -proto 3

In both cases the same issue "CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:205 : out of memory (2)" .

Anyone that could help me I appreciate, thanks in advanced

For 1060 3GB + W10 the best is Claymore 11.6: stable, no errors about memory, 0% developer fee!!
