If you want to run ETHOS and mine on 4gb cards its simple.
Load miner-manager for ethos....
https://github.com/cynixx3/third-party-miner-installer-for-ethos
Then once installed simple do a miner-manager phoenixminer install
and it will mine on 4gb cards no issue AMD or nvidia.
My rigs are all up and mining away no issue. Even have claymore V15.0 running with 6/8 gb cards....no issue.
Most likely you were running the default etherminer.
In fact just posted in PM thread here screen shows of my 4gb amd cards 570s still hitting 31mhs this morning no issue.

I came for help here, phoenix miner solved my problem. Thank you.
Hi
For those who do not know how to install the " phoenix "
Here are the steps.
Open terminal and paste this " bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cynixx3/third-party-miner-installer-for-ethos/master/miner-manager) phoenixminer install "
Open Confi.info and add a line with this " phoenixminer=flags -dagrestart 2 "
Change miner Pheonix " globalminer phoenixminer "
Write in the terminal "minestar"
Maybe you have to lower the frequency a little, since it is not as stable as claymore

I set them in local.conf but still nothing, maybe I am not doing something right.
For now, I changed from claymore to phoenix, seems to work (for now at least).

OK then.
Actualy in our OS we have those:
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PRECENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=0
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
(setx is for windows) so use export instead.
You should find script where miner is starting and put there those at very beginning (or after #!/bin/bash )
I do not know their architecture but i think they have those basics covered ... as it is like base line for linux OS and mining.
Did you tried other miners like phoenixminer or teamredminer ?
The both have fix for many problems so it might help.
btw, i was yesterday at their support and i actualy were able to receive some info so you could send it and just wait or PM directly to mods.

I think the solution are these commands, but I don't know how or where to put them in ETHOS
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
I found out that setx=export in linux.
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
I found out that setx=export in linux.
Might not be the case but please try their support (2 replies up)
Their "support" page is outdated and does not mention anything about this. On windows is working fine.

Well i have been using ethos for over 3 years now and i can confirm that ethos has the miners needed to hash with 4gb vram gpus. Yes the ethos servers wont show those miners but if you ask in the ethos support channel (http://ethosdistro.com/kb/#support) you sure will get the instructions on how to do it.
I do love the plug for SMOS though , good move
Thx for info. I do love the plug for SMOS though , good move

ethOS' customers are able to update mining clients by themselves if they wish to do so.

... Any ethos user around ? ...
Official sources confirmed the statement. Customers of ethOS can update clients by themselves.
End of debate.

Even if those miners are not prepared on ethos servers ? Then tere would be nothing to update.
From their changelog it seems they do not update their miners (there is no information about this for 2 years now)
Any ethos user around ?
Can you tell us guys that phoenix or teamredminer version do you have onboard ?

You can keep using Ethos.
However, make sure to select the latest ....

I am not sure if ethos is making any updates to miner programs.
Last changelog was at "(released October 9th 2018)"
So i do not think that it can mine on 4GB cards.
You can keep using Ethos.
However, make sure to select the latest TeamRedMiner for AMD or Phoenix miner for Nvidia and you will be fine for at least some time.

nope will work up to epoch 370. Tested with benchmark.
Give me reason why it stops.

In smos it should work until 385 epoch
Thats the difference, Our SMOS linux does not use any graphical interface.It is server like linux which can be managed via cloud dashboard.
Win10 reserves something like 300-600MB VRAM, where as ethOS only reserves 8 MB. Win 10 rigs with 4gig cards will depending on card manufacturer and type, stop mining ETH some times around October. Linux based miners will run out og VRAM memory around Christmas.
Excellent answer ! ........I don´t know why i get this error. I do some research tomorrow. My other 10 rigs with windows10 running well.
Those Windows 10 rigs will stop working also
(if they are 4GB)I have created new thread with explanation why is this happening

My rigs stop mining today, when Epoch 352 went active.
After restart, 13 GPU are detected, but AMD driver is not capable of stopping fan on a single GPU anymore, indicating, no control.
When miner starts, miner is loading, but no hashing.
In "show miner" it say, all GPU hang and miner must be restarted.
Anyone have similar problem, or solution ?
Have tried ethOS update, no result.
Have tried miner update, no result.
Running ethOS 1.3.3, without trouble for month.
Any input appreciated.

I have a Rig with ethos and had the same problem. I switched to hiveos and claymore and i get error: not enough vram for dag. switched to hiveos and phönixminer and all is ok. I don´t know why i get this error. I do some research tomorrow. My other 10 rigs with windows10 running well.
