Not sure if it can help you but there might be problem with the miner since version 15.5.3.
I was able to run Bminer to version 15.5.1 but after 15.5.3 release there was the same CUDA error that contains in all the latest miners since fork (15.7.0 and up).
So I think there was something wrong in the miner even before the fork, but now it occurs more often to many users. Hope it can help you to find the problem. Thank you.

We’re pleased to release Bminer 15.7.4.
The release provides:

  • Improve the performance of Cuckaroo29d / Aeternity.
  • Support 4GB cards for Cuckaroo29d.

Please see https://www.bminer.me/releases/ for more details.
Happy mining.

How is GPU mining problematic for you? Crashes, or just poor ROI?

300

for me¿, the algorythm difficulty is on the rise, the more mining with GPU becomes futile. just compare GPU and ASICS then SEE THE DIFFERENCE

301

Does not work with the latest nvidia driver 431.60 for Turing GPUs.

We’re pleased to release Bminer 15.7.5.
The release provides:

  • Improve the performance of the miner of Cuckatoo31.
  • Increase the dynamic ranges of -intensity for older machines to fully utilize the GPUs (at the cost of a slight performance loss). please setting -intensity from 0 and increase the number if it’s stable.

Please see https://www.bminer.me/releases/ for more details.
Happy mining.

Download the latest version of Bminer 15.7.6 and getting this error
Failed to initialize the AMDCL platform: AMDCL: No AMD devices are available
I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and have amd 8 x rx570
Please help.

309

please add -devices amd:0, amd:1, amd:2, amd:3, amd:4, amd:5, amd:6, amd:7 in your command line if you mine on amd cards with Bminer.
Bminer don’t support Grin-c29d mining on AMD cards yet, we support amd mining Grin before the hard fork.
for now, you can mine beam on your amd cards with Bminer.

Thank you @realbminer for the update.

As I point my GPUs to Beam and getting this error…

./bminer -devices amd:0, amd:1, amd:2, amd:3, amd:4, amd:5, amd:6, amd:7 -uri $SCHEME://$USERNAME@$POOL -api 127.0.0.1:1880

invalid value “amd:0,” for flag -devices: Invalid device [amd:0 ]

…please help!

And @realbminer when I try using just one GPU w/ -devices amd:0 …I am getting this error
