I have two rigs with 4x 1060 3GB and both stopped working with the same error message. (claymore ETH & DCR)

"-eres 0" helped to go on for a few days, but now they have the same error message since a few days again.

Any recommendations? Shouldn't the 1060 3GB work for ETH about until the beginning of 2019?

Thanks for your help!

Use the new version, it could work for a while

v11.6:

- improved hashrate for weak Nvidia cards by about 1%.
- zero devfee for 3GB cards in Windows 10, same as for all 2GB cards.
- applied some tricks to increase available memory for 3GB cards in Windows 10 so you can mine ETH a bit longer.
- now you can press "y" key to turn on "Compute Mode" in AMD drivers for all cards (Windows only).
- Linux version: removed openssl library dependency.
- improved "-logfile" option, now you can use it to specify a folder for log files, use slash at the end to do it, for example, "-logfile logs\".
- added "-epoolsfile" and "-dpoolsfile" options.
- remote management: now "miner_getstat2" command also returns PCI bus index for every GPU.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.

Thanks Claymore, for bringing life back to 3GB cards, worked right off the bat!

+1, I can mine Eth on 1060 3GB cards in W10 only with Claymore, all other miners fail now. Also 0% developer fee Cool
