Can't farm 32K C8 plots on GTX 1060 3GB #106

Hi Max.

Your RAM / VRAM requirements to farm chart shows that it takes 2979MiB to farm 32K C8 plots. I'm trying to farm on GTX 1060 3GB which has 3072MiB and I'm getting chia.harvester.harvester: ERROR Error using prover object GPU recompute failed with: out of memory It's not a primary video card, it's dedicated to farming. I'm not plotting at the same time. On my other harvester that has more video memory and not crashing shows that it uses 3158MiB to harvest K23 C8 plots now. Did it require less memory to run in previous releases? Can anything be optimized?

Thank you

Exact VRAM usage depends on the generation of GPU as well as driver version, etc ...

It's possible to reduce VRAM usage at the cost of losing some proofs yes, not sure if I want to enable such kind of tuning though...

I agree, losing proofs is not acceptable. Thank you MAx.
