When I said it confirms, it means that I had tested here and that image confirmed what I tested or you could say vice versa.

paste your OWN screenshot or never happened, lol Grin

I think you might be confused but ETH and ETC used to have the same algo but right now ETC switched to a new algo with a lower DAG. The DAG is 2.5GB so any card with 3GB or higher can mine it. Since its <4GB you are mining ETC at full speed. With ETH the DAG is slightly over 4GB and the software is using some special way to get it to load somehow on your GPU, however the trade off is that you hash at a slower speed and it gets slower and slower after every new DAG.

With windows its much worse because it caches more stuff in your GDDR hence there is less room for any DAG especially if its over 4GB. Hence if you got tons of these 4GB GPUs you will really need to mine it on linux because you are missing out on alot of profits, especially since the consumption is mostly the same on both operating system.

Ideal method would be just to sell the GPU and upgrade to an 8GB model, however these days they are either sold out or overpriced. I've seen some 8GB variants of the RX series go for double the price of the 4GB.
