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 meant 2 Gb memory in each card, not in the system. Yes, you can mine with 6 video cards having only 4 Gb system RAM if you use one of those special Linux flavors. Under normal conditions, even with Ubuntu, I believe 8 Gb system RAM would be a safer choice.
But every card must have a minimum 2 Gb video RAM!
i misunderstood that also, yeah makes sense 2gb for each card. ^^
