Thank you. Earlier today, I found a chart showing that ETH needs a min of 4GB and that must be why the --daglim not working.

Mine something else the 970 is done on Eth.

You can try lolminer but hoenstly 4gb cards are no longer worth it on eth.

I have Phoenixminer working well for the few newer graphics cards that I can get my hands on, but having issues with an older GTX 970. I have tried multiple version of drivers (latest 466.27 -> 445.87) with no luck. I realize the card only has 4GB and obviously running out of memory. The card benchmarks fine, but when trying to mine it runs out of CUDA. I have increase virtual memory to 32 GB with no luck and now trying --daglimit 1000 and even lower settings with no luck. Phoenixminer DAG always seems to attempt to allocate 4.23GB . Any suggestions?
