ok guys it seems 3gb cards have officially stopped working on eth network. Dag erro etc etc, the 6gb cards in the same rigs are doing fine. surprising though is that under stats its says 2.4gb used for dag.

one by one all the 3gb rigs gave up.

or am i missing something?

Lol it's working fine. I tried now on my home 1060 3Gb http://i99.fastpic.ru/big/2018/0207/ee/b22615c135858269c7284bcc78c673ee.jpg

In order to mine effectively, the DAG is kept in a ring buffer in VRAM (graphics memory).

You don't usually need to think about it, but graphic cards these days host programs, like "Dropbox", "WinZip", "Firefox" and others. Those reduce the total amount of DDR4 memory available to the mimer.

On nVidia cards (not certain how to do this on AMD cards) you can set a parameter in the driver to show the apps running in VRAM in a 'tray' icon. Now that we went to Epoch 168 today, the size is 2.31GB. - only one hundredth of a gigabyte but still, 10k more than the previous Epoch. Eventually 3GB cards will be unable to hold the DAG in memory.

Ah i forgot to add that im mining etc abnd the dag is past 178 now . i switched to eth its working fine. etc dag has reached max for 3gb cards.
