    Here are some notes about the Windows 10 out of memory problems:
    • While they are present both on AMD and Nvidia GPUs, the problem with Nvidia is much worse. The 4 GB AMD GPUs will work without problems under Windows 10 at least until DAG 350, while the best that can be expected from Nvidia is DAG 293. And this is not entirely Windows 10 fault because even under Linux the 1050Ti won't be able to go beyond DAG 340 or a little higher.
    • The first thing to do after encountering out of memory error is to add -rvram -1 -eres 0 to your command-line or config.txt file in order to lower the memory usage as much as possible.
    • Again, there is no point to upgrade to PhoenixMiner 4.7a if you don't have 4 GB Nvidia cards and there are no out of memory problems

    Thanks, switched back to PhoenixMiner  Cool

    340 vs 350 is not that much different compared to AMD
    will be still usable for some time.

    You say Linux,
    how about Windows 7 compared to Linux?
    I heard in there[Win7], there is no such issues like Win10
    I.e: Could be Win7 to be alternative to Linux for that matter?


    This is not working for me:(

    paste the log file what happens exactly
    are you using 4.7a version?
    did you applied -rvram -1 -eres 0 too?
    what OS and VGA drivers you use?
    what's your virtual memory file size setup?
    do you use another video card as primary display or you use the miners card for this?
