STDERR: CUDA error cudaErrorIllegalAddress : an illegal memory access was encountered. about bladebit HOT 3 CLOSED

thanks guys, i did think of that earlier today that i didn't have enough GPU RAM when i was plotting, framing and had nicehash
all good, ive already committed to GH now

Good observation @sobertram. It seems the CUDA api allows the allocation to go through.
@shaneo257 you might try setting the buckets to 256. Although this isn't technically officially supported, it should work and it lowers memory requirements. Other users with 6G GPUs have successfully plotted this way).

You'll have to change this line to say 256u instead of 128u. Then re-compile.
