The current Dag size is ~2.41 GB for ETH and ~2.48 GB for ETC. I'm sure you are stil ble to mine ETH or ETC with 3GB on Linux or Windows 7 for at least another 6-9 months, just not on Windows 10. Because of the 20% GPU reserved memory space on Windows 10, the Dag file will no longer fit on 3GB cards.

Wait, why would win 10 reserve 20% gpu resources on all 3gb cards in a rig? shouldn't windows do that only to the primary gpu?

Microsoft don't care, memory is reserved on all cards. More memory - more is reserved. This memory is not used by W10, but it is not available for any programs. Another beautiful gift from Microsoft.
I still can mine ETH in W10 on 3GB nvidia cards with latest Claymore miner with 0% dev fee, but I think it will stop work after epoch #185, you can check it with "-benchmark" option.
