Note that i have another Card with same specs and running fine in ETH with 20MH/s

2GB IS TOO SMALL--

There have been several posts recently about 2GB cards. The DAG has grown too large for a 2GB card to process. You should be able to mine Expanse (EXP), it is at a much lower Epoch, and has a smaller DAG file. --scryptr

BUT I HAVE another typical card of 2GB an it is running ETH Fine !!

THAT REMAINS POSSIBLE--

Depending on how the card handles memory. But, shortly, it will not be possible at all. Read back 3 or so pages. --scryptr

Yeah, I was just going to post this as well. One card may have a slightly higher memory footprint than the other, but as scryptr said, the working card will soon succumb to the same fate.

Just be thankful there are other options available, ZCash should work fine for some time and it seems to perform better on the last generation cards anyway.

Sure, the profitability may be slightly lower than ETH atm, but it is still better than being forced into shutting them off and selling them, although that would be another option.
