win 10 wsl bladebit_cuda "cudaErrorMemoryAllocation : out of memory" although card has enough memory

[brause]

Hi there,

I am trying to make some --disk-16 cuda plots with bladebit_cuda under wsl but it seems my GPU ram is failing.
Since I have no idea what to do anymore about this error I am posting this here.
Output from the bladebit_cuda and nvidia-smi.exe is included below.

What I tried: I tried reinstalling the newest nvidia driver and installing and older(546.01) version of the nvidia driver. Same result.
I checked the card if it is a fake(has no vga port and all drivers install fine) but it seems a genuine nvidia card.

Any more checks on the card i can do ?

Gruß,
Karsten

Had this problem too when started.
But it resolved by itself - just gone.

[brause]

did you use wsl-ubuntu as well ?

[teamwest93]

Yes.
I tried few guides, but i dont remember which one help - Nvidia for WSL, or Ubuntu for Nvidia.
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&Distribution=WSL-Ubuntu&target_version=2.0&target_type=deb_local

[teamwest93]

so, it helps?

sadly, no. I still got:

what does you nvidia-smi.exe say inside wsl ? I think I could try to replicate that.

You are on win11 ? It could just simply not work in win 10.
Edit: i tried downgrading the drivers. Did not work. Same Problem.

[teamwest93]

Win 11, yes

[brause]

I guess that could be it. Thank you.
