I think it's important to update claymore to 11.6 for 3gb cards owners.. thanks
You can always stop the miner, copy the updated miner into the same directory and restart the miner. I've done this several times in the past, and it works no problem. Unfortunately there is some lag time behind when new miners get released and AM is able to include them (he's gotta do testing too).
You can also just put it the updated miner in a new directory and point AM at that as well.
