Ethereum mining with GTX 1060 3GB cards? No longer possible? DAG/OS issues
Hey guys,
This is just a quick one to anyone who may know an answer to my question, I have a couple of GTX 1060 3gb mining rigs and they can no longer mine ethereum on the latest version of Windows 10.
Apparently the latest Windows 10 update has increased the size the OS uses on the VRAM which now exceeds the DAG file size on ethereum making 3GB redundant for mining ethereum, so i've been told anyway.. I've tried installing Windows 8 on one of my systems to see if I can mine ethereum but still have the same issues.
I was debating to look into using simple mining OS or possibly going back to an earlier version of windows. As of course these would hog less VRAM, but would be interesting to hear if anyone else has had the same experience.
Any advice would be amazing
Many thanks
