Hello,

Running PhoenixMiner / Windows 10 with 12 Nvidia Cards is running fine, but when adding the 13th Card, I got an "Out of Memory" Error. Adding extra RAM or enlarging Swap File doesn't help. Using different RTX and GTX Card, always the same.

Is this a hard limit, or is there a way to work around this?

Thanks for help!

You should really be running HiveOS at this point.


Thank you for your answer, but this is not really answering my question. I don't need another paid OS.

Its definitely difficult to get 12+ GPUs working which is why most don't try but I think 13 should be possible. You say you increased the swap file without being specific - how big is the swap file? I would have it at 90GB-100GB for 13GPUS. I run 11 on a ASROCK H110 pro btc+ and recall going from 10 to 11 gpus and eventually got it working after increasing the swap file from 64GB to 80GB. If you already have a huge swap file you might check that your swapfile disk isn't running out of space (did that to myself once too).
