I am not able to mine etherium classic anymore with my 1060 3gb. Says cannot allocate big DAG epoch. I use combination of 2x 1060 3GB and 5x 1050Ti. The error shows only for 1060 3GB anyone facing the problem. I can mine etherium though.
etc n eth have the same dag file size
Had the same issue the other day.
Need to increase your virtual memory to the proper limit. try 25000mb


Actually ETC is a few Epoch's ahead of ETH, Currently 2.39GB Dag vs ETH 2.31

My ETC rigs hit out of memory issues the other day currently switched to ETH and estimate roughly 50 days till they hit out of memory issues.

Although they have 3GB memory some of the Video ram is used up by the OS so not all of it is available for the DAG. Pretty disappointing.

FYI I'm running windows 10 Pro, I imagine you may get a bit longer if your on a linux based OS as it could use less Video Ram.



Actually Im on Windows 10 also. And at the time that you posted your issues the DAG files were the same size. I did set mine to 25000 to max 30000mb and it fixed the issue as recommended by others. My system ram is 4gb and I have a 120gb ssd if that helps.
