Hi,

After new epoch 487 my 1060 5Gb and P102-100 5Gb, have stop working. I tried different miners and only lolMiner is working. Let's see how many time still working.

Use Linux to extend your mining with 5GB cards. Windows reserve some Vram for the windows stuff - this i why not enough space for the DAG. With linux you can extend mining for month´s.
By the way - why you not unlock the full 10GB from you P102-100 card? It is possible on every P102-100 5GB and P104-100 4GB.
@Sxemini pls share me your experience, how can one unlock extra memory on P102-100 and P104-100 graphic cards? I have been hearing people talk about this for some time and I've never seen any tutorials online about this modification, so a P104-100 can go 8gb and a P102-100 can go 10GB? This should have made these cards a hot cake in the market why thats not the case.

You find enough turtorials online. You only need and 10Gb P102-100 bios or P104-100 8GB. Both can be found on techpowerup.

here some stuff to read.
