I am newbie here,same problem when using 6x 8gb RX570 ,running with Win10 64bit,120ssd ,8Gb memorry got problem gpu Dag problem.i have tested with my old hdd same setup with 500 gb sata hdd than no problem.all work fine with has rate.

May i get some advise from guys what is the best setting with the vitual memorry so i can use back my 120gb ssd

16 to 20gb virtual mem is more than enough
it should not throw a dag issue as the cards that you are using are more than capable to mine with 8gb ram

try 36 or 42

LOLCAT-SPEAK--

I like to answer questions when I know the answer. Some miners are new and have honest questions. But there is always a troll factor, it seems.

There are questions written in poor English, or perhaps in LOLcat-speak, and are they hard to decipher and poorly related to the thread (any thread) or at least the current context. I truly don't know why some 4GB cards don't work on ETH, and some claims that they can be made to work seem curious. 8GB cards should work. Further, 4GB cards are not 8GB cards. From what I recall, "virtual memory" on Windows should equal the total VRAM of the rig. And, 6 x 8GB equals 48GB.

Some miners should do their own research. I don't use Windows, and ran Linux on 2GB ram with 6 x 8GB cards and no swap file. It worked.

I have not written the book on mining, but I have read for a long time. Please read first and ask better questions later. --scryptr

EDIT: CURRENTLY RUNNING 2X 4GB CARD RIGS ON LINUX--

I am currently running 2 rigs with 4GB cards only. 1 rig has 6x PowerColor Red Dragon 4GB RX 560 cards, no PCIe power socket, single fan. They get (with mods) 14.6MH/s at about 50W each. The other is a 4x Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 card rig. They get (with mods) about 29.5MH/s at about 105W each. The systems ran fine for months with 4GB system RAM and no swap file. I recently increased the system RAM to 8GB so to mine Monero. Hash rates and power use for ETH have not increased, but the CPU load is high. I replaced Celerons, Pentiums, and i3s with i5s. The overall wattage is nearly the same, as I always had some CPU mining going on. --scryptr

may i know set for virtual memory the figure is?
at win 10.sorry newbie not very good with those virtual memory at the custom size

Why are 4gb cards to small for some people and some not?

I'm running Windows 10 and 4GB cards. Works like a charm.

0,5 GB left to allocate

Did you try to put one 1060/6GB or 1070/8GB as GPU 0? some ppl solved it that way

THE DAG IS SHARED--

As I understand it, the larger card (>4GB VRAM) is able to load the DAG and share it. This results in the 4GB cards being able to process the DAG in pieces. I believe all cards must be the same (AMD or nVidia). I don't know if it works on both AMD and nVidia, even if all are the same. AND, I don't know if it works on both Windows 10 and Linux. I think the shared DAG may be located in the Win 10 "virtual memory", where the virtual memory is more of a requirement than is "swap space" in Linux.

I have not tried it. The end result is reportedly a lower overall hash rate. I have never personally tested this, but others have posted about it in this thread and other ETH threads. Do a search.

Hi,

I just started using Claymore dual miner v15 version. but it keep disconnecting and restarting miner. Kindly help me that how can i get working miner.

I am using 1050TI. and following is error log:

GPU error, you need to restart miner Sad

4GB CARDS ARE TOO SMALL--

If you are running Windows 10, the driver allocates a portion of the physical GPU memory to Windows. This leaves less than 4GB for Claymore, or other mining programs.

Linux may be a solution, but not for very long. Also, there are other more profitable algos for nVidia cards. --scryptr

DO A SEARCH--

It takes a while to type out an exact description. You could use a pre-built disk image like nvOC, or ethOS, or PiMP. All have a learning curve, but nvOC is free. There are newer mining OS builds that charge a percentage. I have not used them all.

If you want a start for your DIY rig search, try "CryptoBadger", and another spot is in this link:

link-"https://blockonomi.com/linux-cryptocurrency-mining/"

I have set up several mining rigs from scratch, but writing out instructions (that are already available on the web) takes almost as long. Do a search or two, and read up.

Good Luck! --scryptr

People, how to change the color in the place where he writes about the temperature? I want to make yellow on a black background. That red does not differ much.

try -colors 4

LOOK AT YIIMP POOLS--

YIIMP pool software was designed for nVidia cards. They generally feature a profitability chart; try selecting coins high on the chart.

The most popular coins are not always the most profitable. --scryptr

Same here working on my 4gb amd cards.
4gb nvidia cards wont start though.

Claymore, do you know what no one AMD card can allocate more 4GB vram in a single chunk?

If you run benchmark on 8Gb card with #377 epoch you'll get
OpenCL error -61 - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG.
OpenCL error -38 - cannot write buffer for DAG

Same errors you'll get on 4Gb card with #351 epoch.

Does anyone have such problem - on Win 7, v15, drvs 436.30 and 441.66 and GTX1070 cards hashrate is about 22Mhash.... Tried to clean drivers with DDU and reinstall them, tried with/withous straps, w/wo OC etc.... On other algorythms speed is same as before, no change. And some months ago with older claymore all was fine, but now, with v15 such problem

upd: same issue on Phoenix miner, but all fine on nanominer and gminer.... can't even guess what it can be...

increase your core clock.

I confirm, the same problem

Hello people,
these days my VEGA 64 started to throw out this error. And it won't work. I tried the driver update, I re-uploaded the latest version of Claymore but still the same is happening please for your advice, what else can I try?

Confirmed, got the same issue on 1070TI. Problem is related to ETC mining.

Hashrate drops to 17-20 MH/s when mining ETC. Tested on Nicehash and Ethermine ETC pool.
Tried almost all avaiable miner software (Claymore, PhoenixMiner, GMiner, Ethminer 0.18/0.19a) and always got the same behaviour.

Probably this only related to Nvidia cards, or even Pascal family.

Also confirmed, win7 and GTX1070 low hashrate on ETC. win10 - ok.

Hello, what do you use as a pool with a 2GB AMD graphics card (AMD 3xx)? and with 2 graphics cards in crossfire does it work?
thx
