Topic: RTX 3050 with 4G cant run, PLEASE help me (Read 175 times)

Any operating system with a graphical interface takes 100-200 or more megabytes of memory from the video card. Linux Mining systems do not use a graphical interface, so they use a few megabytes from the memory of the video card. Maybe it's better to use Hive OS, Raven OS or others right away?

If you want it to work with RVN you have to install Linux,a newbie friendly version like Ubuntu,you can check easy guides on line on how to install and run t-rex which is almost the same as in Windows,you edit your script files here (equivalent to batch files in Windows) and run the miner with ./ and the name of the miner,you need to be in the current directory to run ./ otherwise you can run an absolute path like /home/user/t-rex/start-rvn.sh for example.It is as easy as in Windows and the latest version of Ubuntu is much laptop friendly as Windows is.I guess this is your only true solution to mine with your laptop GPU and also do work with it.

As you can see from my Linux server machine latest version of Ubuntu just wants 222 MB or something like that thus leaving you 3.7 GB to mine RVN for a couple of months,after that you can mine ETC which has a lower dag size.

In theory you should do it but the system retains a part of the ram memory of the card so you do not reach the 3.5 gb necessary to mine raven so either you change algorithm / coin or change gpu card at least one with 6gb of ram

The last time I used windows 7 was mining with 1070 and 1080 graphics cards. Then there was a problem with a hashrate drop and I used windows 10. But there were other problems with remote control.

Ethereum(ETH) and Conflux(CFX) are not for 4 GB graphics cards.
Ravencoin(RVN) is a hot algorithm even for a regular video card, but it is the most profitable one.
According to my memory, Windows 7 did not take more than 400 MB from the RAM of the video card, but it was a 10x0 series.
In a normal PC, you can use 2 video cards. Install the main video card for example GT710 and Windows will use its resources, your 4 GB on the second video card will be free for mining. But in a laptop, I would use hive os.

Don't go back to windows7 OS you will be frustrated, download Nicehash on your laptop and run it, wait for the software to download all miners and it will find you the best coin and algorithm that will work best for your laptop GPU.

which version drivers used in your windos 7 ?  thanks

If you have a modern laptop, then when you install Windows 7, you will have problems with the security drivers of this operating system. If you use a flash drive, the amount of used video card memory may decrease. It also depends on the version of the video card driver. But after a while you will have problems, because my windows 7 used 300-400 megabytes of GPU memory and your dag file is 3500 megabytes.

I was once like you, I have the fear of trying out new things once I found one, the thought of finding something better always disappeared from my mind, I used windows OS to mine for good two years and finally when I was ready I tried out HiveOS for the first time ever and mate, mining experience changed for me

When it comes to flashing BIOS it's 100% easier on HiveOS
When it comes to Overclocking it's better on HiveOS ( Msi Afterburner in windows sucks).
When it comes to speed HiveOS or let me say generally Linux based OS are better.

You won't know what you are missing if you don't try.

Windows is mining shit.
Install Hive OS on a flash drive and mine coins on your laptop. Linux systems for mining take away the very minimum of memory from the video card, so you can still mine coins with a 3.5 GB Dag file for some time.
On Windows 10, there are already problems with 6 GB on Ethereum mining.

3050 RTX is not good for mining coins but it's still a hot came for budget gamers so it will be easier to sell online, there are good options out there that use can use to replace this 3050 for example the RX 6600XT, GTX 1660 Super or 3060 RTX depend on how much you get.

sell the pos card

buy a 3060 from best buy

obviously you need to be usa based to do it.

Once the DAG file is over your GPU memory this issue can't be fixed, find coins that are still under 4 GB DAG like NEOX, this is a mistake you could have avoid if you create topic about trying to buy the card on here before you won't and make the purchase.

Probably not.
Try Nicehash: https://www.nicehash.com/
Let the program run all benchmarks and you will know which algos will suit into your hardware, this is the easiest way to know, and if you likes you can use Nihehash (unless you want to mine some specific coin to hold).

Another alternative, if you want to mine RVN, you can try HiveOS: https://hiveon.com/os/
With a flash stick you can mount HiveOS and try to mine, it's easy too.

IF i change to win7 , will be fixed ?

As you can read, your gpu has not enough memory.

RVN dag size is 3,5gb, your gpu has 4gb, but windows will reserve around 700mb +- from this gpu memory = less than 3,5gb free gpu memory.
