What is your settings here? (Worker options)

Should be Auto or Enable.

[RSMiner2113]

Mine is set to Enable, but I still get the same error on OC as in this thread? Any ideas?

[brendyne]

Hey, did you find a fix?

[mktiberio]

Did you find a fix? I have the very same problem when I have a GPU in one specific PCIe.
No matter which GPU i have there… this message will appear. So… I am not using that PCIe, but would like to… that is why I would like to know how you did solve that problem.

Regards.

I fixed that tonight by updating Nvidia

i just switched my to enable instead of auto and it seemed to take away that error message
