Each gpu brand or memory type fails at little different dag epoch.
I guess different memory has little different free memory that can be used.
Or there is something different.
Anyway i know that problem will be bigger and bigger.

no no, i dont have 2 GB Cards. i have 4 cards (1 of 8GB, 3 of 4GB)

currently i have a rig with 3 cards (the first card in Main PCIe is 8 GB, and the other 2 cards, 4 GB)

Next, in my main PC have the 4th card with 4 GB, this card dont works. But the question is why the other rig works fine? from the 3 cards, only 1 is of 8 GB, and are minning the 3 cards

Hello, ive 2 computers, one with 3 cards (the first 8 GB, the other 2, 4 GB) and i dont have the problem

But i have other PC with only one card (use sometimes for mining, its my main pc) and ive the problem here. why is this? (all RX470/570) Claymore 15, WIndows 7x64

Claymore miner stops working on certain GPUs in different time.

2GB card cannot mine Ethereum. Its not possible.

The first topic says why is this happening.

Claymore disappear again? I would think he'd like to update his software to allow mining 4GB until that time but nothing. I stopped using his Mining software once PheonixMiner came around. Now there's other options at hash just as good as his. He was first to market with "soft-mod" BIOs for Nvidia 1x00 and AMD however, props to him.

There's couple of miner are available inside of this section you can chose one that are fitted to your gpu's/asic needs. I agree I once running Phoenix in my gpu rig and it seems it gives and add to my riga good hashrate power, I stopped to use Claymore since the day that good miner entered to this forum.

Pretty sure he secluded himself on a desert island without internet connection, this pandemic made people to think about priorities I guess ehhe, he is not aware his app is not working for many and he will only be back before dag #380 hits to released a new version.

No if ETH 2.0 released, you still can mine it. It will have POW and POS at the same time, but i don´t think ETH 2.0 will be released before the middle of next year. The dev Team talk about it for several years and nothings happen. So this year no ETH 2.0 release!

The information i have is that they will only release if eth goes 1000 usd plus again, the release will only be to strengthen that position. I guess the trolls who sold for $80 will kill themselves very soon. ETH after all is the barebone of all good things about crypto, bitcoin will lag behind as will only be useful for store of value and nothing else.

HAHA i'm mining with windows and 4GB cards, and i give not up, because why? My Rigs running well.

After reading your description the fix for windows is -> use internal gpu as first gpu and you have no problems.


Wait until 370 epoch, you will change your mind.

Great thread, one thing is missing and is until what dag number #3xx will those people with 4gb mine eth on simplemining OS? 4GB is if I'm not mistaken exactly dag #384.

He mentions the 4gb cards die in dec or nov 2020 even on simple mining

My worst card is a 1050ti mining on kapow.

I have 2 or 3 1660's
I have 4 rx 5500's all 8gb got a good deal on them
I have 2 rx 5700's
I have 11 1080ti's
I have  2  1070's
I have 1   1080

well december eth 2.0 will launch anyways and mining will be dead right?

I think that is one of the problem mining eth, the dag file, many of my gpu;s had the same problem and it was change the hashrate and reduce it, i also notice that in the long run the gpu will no longer available to flash into factory mod.

Absolutly wrong. You can flash an AMD card every time, also if something go wrong.

What problem you have with the DAG file?`

Kawpow works on 4GB still but i thin kthat profitability will be killed when all those 4GB or 50% of them will switch to  Kawpow ... good luck with profitability.

LOL epoche 370, this is what i expected. This is in November so what is the problem? With linux i can mine up to epoch 380? Very usefull to change the OS for about 1 month  Roll Eyes
So about what we discuss? Your advertising for simplemining os?

TL;DR; version: Use TeamRedMiner or Phoenix miner.

Read our latest blog post about the topic - What to mine with 4GB GPUs?

It's amazing how you manage that many different cards. Okay so it means his OS manages to stay around dag #380 or so.

Hell I had hundreds this is nothing.

the 5500 do 25mh at 90 watts, but I need to check it to be sure
I am not thinking of an under clocked nVida 1660

they are 5500xt and they do 25 mh at 90 watts

https://www.provantage.com/asus-dualrx5500xto8gevo~7ASUG06F.htm

I paid 185 each

they have these in stock

https://www.provantage.com/visiontek-901316~7VSTV0W0.htm

I have 2 of these and they also do 25mh

Switch your 4gb cards to simple mining list them on ebay and buy these to replace them.

How do the 5500's perform?  Haven't seen to much on them yet.

With the bump in ETH price I am not sure we will see to much of a difficulty drop in one shot.  1 5700 is close to worth 2 4gb gpu's getting shut down and use's less watts.

I think I would be ok with current profitability or higher sticking around for the next 10 months.  In the past 2 months I have seen my expected roi on 5700's go from 14 months to 10.  I have a 5600 xt coming this week I expect to be about the same 10 month roi if eth holds. 

In June eBay and Newegg were handing out 10% off coupons like candy.  Now they are stingy and sale prices aren't that good.  Stock is dwindling.

I picked up a 1660 ti that looks to be right at 12 months roi.  Almost to the day.
