16gb VRAM allocation cap for Cuckatoo 32 #2028

jeff-k-lee commented 6 months ago

I am mining Grin on my 7900xtx (the most profitable crypto right now), and I see the selected algorithm is "Cuckatoo 32-16G". I also noticed the GPU allocates and uses only 16gb of VRAM when mining.

lolMiner reports a fidelity of 0.75, thus the pool sees only 75% of theoretical hashrate on their side. I am wondering if 7900xtx and other GPUs with bigger than 16gb VRAM will perform better with Mimblewimble algorithms if all their available VRAM is allocated?

I understand when Beam, Grin cryptos first appeared, it was a rarity for any GPU to have >16gb of VRAM.

hello I have the same problem, On 6800xt 16g and 6700xt 12g I am missing 30% of hash. Same, I thought cool, it's the most profitable for my cards, but not at all.... On AMD we have no choice, so help me ^^
