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

That is actually incorrect with ethos my rigs of six 390s run perfectly fine with only 4Gb of RAM on the system. About 2.9 is actually used. Ethos is really striped down Ubuntu distribution with anything not needed for mining removed. Great job by developers btw.

I think Trimegistus is talking about video ram, not system ram.  I have 3 cards using 4.9gb sys ram on Windows 10. About 1.5-2gb of that is running Nem wallet (java) and GPU monitor.  I have 12gb so I haven't disabled any excess services and programs to free up extra memory.
