XMR-STAK Error using NVidia 1080TI Cards

How-To fix NVidia 1080TI – XMR-STAK Thread Error

I have been seeing the following error pop-up when you run XMR-STAK for the first time while using NVidia 1080TI cards

[CUDA] Error gpu 1: <C:/xmr-stak/xmrstak/backend/nvidia/nvcc_code/cuda_extra.cu>:312
**suggestion: Try to reduce the value of the attribute ‘threads’ in the NVIDIA config file.**

There is a simple way to resolve this error.  Open up the directory that you used to launch xmr-stak.exe 

if you are mining with NVidia cards, open up the nvidia.txt file.

[AMD steps are similar to this.  You would just open the amd.txt file instead]

For each of the GPUs listed within the txt file, you will need to Lower the number of Threads on this line:

“threads” : 26, “blocks” : 84,

I would recommend lowering them in half for all of your GPUs

“threads” : 13, “blocks” : 84,

Save the file

Re-Launch xmr-stak.exe and try to mine with it.

If it works you will then incrementally raise the threads to the level which your mining rig can support.

That’s it!  Thanks for reading

#hashcat -b

hashcat (v5.0.0-84-geec1fba4) starting in benchmark mode…

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.
