Topic: cannot create DAG (Read 213 times)

If your data is correct, Finminer can be used for Ethereum mining until ProgPoW hard fork. I think that there is a mistake. According to https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size Ether DAG size is 2982 MB at the moment. How Finminer can decrease the use of video memory less than DAG?

-eres 0 and need linux claymore - 2998 MB;
claymore with -res option 0 - 2982 MB;
ethminer - 2980 MB;
phoenixminer - 2998 MB;
phoenixminer with the -res 0 - 2982 MB option;
bminer - 2980 MB;
finminer - 2937 MB.

You need a page file larger than 3000MB as it will do no good to you as a minimum, try at least 16 GB as a minimum and see if there is any difference, also running Linux HiveOs or any other distro as stated may solve your problem. The problem with the Dag happens only in Windows 10 and 8.1.

I don't think Windows 7 has this issue yet. I am mining with 4 Gb and 6 Gb Nvidia cards just fine so the Dag problem is only related to cards with VRam less than 4 Gb.

Run linux and you wont have those issues

It seems to me that you don't have enough memory for your OS. You have to increase your virtual memory to at least the sum of the memory of all your GPUs.

i just dont know, i have set something like -eres 0 , i have try to paging file to min3000 max32800
in my case its only on my full 4 gb Rig, Not on my full8gb rig, and i also have 8gb+4gb Rig and its fine nothing error

the only thing that makes me confused is the 4gb full rig
