![]() NVIDIA mining rigs are usually more flexible and they could mine different mining algorithms. If you have NVIDIA GPU’s you are luckier than AMD owners. Other Ethash coins such as CLO, ETP, PIRL, EXP have much lower mining epochs so their DAG file is much smaller. If your GPU’s have already stopped mining Ethereum we still have a solution for you. My GPU’s No Longer Mine ETH, What Should I Do? If we do the same calculation for Ethereum Classic which is now on block 10 187 286, we’ll find that 4GB card should stop mining ETC even earlier – in just 160 days.ĤGB GPU’s will stop mining Ethereum in January 2021, Ethereum Classic in September 2020. ![]() The current network block height could be found on the main pool page for both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.ġ1 250 000 – 9 871 779 = 1 378 221 (blocks left)ġ 378 221 x 13s = 17 916 873s (average block time is 13s)ġ7 916 873 / 60 / 60 / 24 = 207 days to go It takes 30 000 blocks to change each epoch so 375 epoch starts on block 11 250 000. We expect 4GB GPU’s to stop mining Ethash coins on 375 epoch approximately (depending on your rig configuration and mining software). HiveOS has preconfigured setup files called “Flight Sheets” for all the 2Miners pools.Įven if you do everything as we told 4GB GPU’s will stop mining Ethereum and Ethereum Classic someday. They provide the easy-to-use interface for mining. We do highly recommend you using one of the specially-built Linux distros such as HiveOS or SimpleMining OS. Both Phoenix and Claymore’s miners are available for Linux. If you want to mine using 4GB graphics card the OS selection could play a critical role. It is a known fact that Windows OS allocates more GPU memory than Linux OS. You could find the picture of the ASUS Z270-P motherboard below as an example. For example, if you have 6 GPU’s with 4GB memory and 2 GPU’s with 8GB memory let one of the 8GB GPU’s be GPU0, place it to the zero slot. Place the more advanced graphics card (with more memory) at the first x16 PCIe slot which is also called zero slot. If your mining rig is built of different GPU’s, most likely some of them have more memory than others. ![]() Unfortunately, Claymore’s miner is not operating on Windows with 4GB GPU’s anymore. For GPU’s with a low amount of memory you should do the exact opposite action – set the eres parameter to zero and don’t let your GPU’s to allocate more memory than required at the moment.Īdd -eres 0 to your Claymore’s Miner bat file. Each memory allocation procedure requires some time so powerful GPU’s with high amount of memory could use high eres values. After that, the miner will need to re-allocate the memory again. For example if eres is set to 2 the mining software will allocate the memory enough for mining this epoch, and the next two epochs. This option allocates GPU memory in advance for a number of epochs. One of the most popular and famous Ethash mining software for both AMD and NVIDIA GPU’s is Claymore’s.Ĭlaymore’s miner has a so-called -eres parameter. Miners from our Telegram chat also recommend for Windows OS installing 20.4.2 AMD driver and AMD-Compute-Switcher tool. To do so set the -rvram option to 1.Īdd -rvram 1 to your Phoenix Miner bat file. In order to make your GPU mine Ethereum longer, we need to disable this memory allocation. The default value of this reserved RAM is 384 MB on Windows OS and just 128 MB on Linux OS. It sets the amount of reserved GPU memory which could not be used for mining purposes. Phoenix Miner has a special parameter -rvram. Quick start archive could be found on the How to Start page of every coin which is presented on 2Miners pool. Phoenix Miner being the most robust and simple Ethash mining software is included in our Quick Start archive. This year (2020) 4GB GPU’s have begun to refuse ETH/ETC mining. 3GB GPU’s have stopped mining Ethereum at the end of the 2018 year. 2GB GPU’s have stopped mining Ethereum at the end of the 2016 year. This is a basic principle.ĭAG file constantly increases. Without DAG loading Ethash mining doesn’t work. If you have multiple-GPU setup all of your GPU’s need to load this file. In simple words, Ethereum mining requires a big file called DAG to be loaded to your mining GPU every time you mine. We’ve already explained what a DAG is in our post When Will My Graphics Card Stop Mining Ether? This is an ordinary question of the Ethash algorithm miners. My GPU’s No Longer Mine ETH, What Should I Do?.When Will 4GB GPU Stop Mining Ethereum?.
