I used to mine with Ethos, now claymore seems to be available only on windows. Does anybody have any idea on how much RAM I need per card ? Most of my rigs are with 390s. The good thing about Ethos was that it was running fine with only 4Gb of RAM for a 6 card rig and not even consuming all 4.

To mine ETH you need a minimum 2 Gb RAM per card, otherwise the DAG won't load into the cards's memory

so, my fifth card wont work with 8gb of ram?! sh Angry

, i did not know that...

unless this software is different, thats false.

etereum needs as much system ram as it needs GPU ram, because the DAG is loaded on both. But it only needs one copy in the ram for every running instance (and the DAG is only ~1.4GB, so even 5 seperate ethminer instances would be ~7.1GB of RAM usage)

if you have all your cards running in te same instance of ethminer your RAM usage will only be 1.4Gb (size of the DAG)

on windows 7 64bit you need system ram of 4gb, my rig with 2gb and 3gb can't mine until i upgraded it to 4gb..using ethminer

haven't tried system ram downgrade with this dual miner yet..
