Title: GPU out of memory
Post by: AhmedAwadallah on October 13, 2020, 08:08:17 PM
Hellow,

I'm a new miner and I have a problem with my gminer, it shows me that my GPU is out of memory. I have Nvidia GeForce 930X 2GB.

I searched online for a solution I found a lot of people suggest that I should increase virtual memroy, but it didn't work any suggestions?

USE A CARD with 6gb ram not one with 2gb.

I think that your card  is pretty much fully useless For mining.

this shows some with 6gb.

The problem here isn't virtual memory, it's GPU memory. Most new algos require more than 4GB.
You can still technically mine older algos if you can set stratum difficulty low enough to avoid timeouts
due to no shares submitted. You can learn some but you won't make anything substantial.

GTX-9xx series is now mostly obsolete, GTX-x30 models of any series were never any good for mining.

As previously mentioned 6GB is the current recommended minimum GPU memory.

This is an old gpu, you can't mine majority of coins using that 2 gig memory, you can get away with crypto night coins like haven or loki but the results will be bad, you won't make any good profits even if you mine for 24hrs, you can only get away with mining fresh coins, coins with low mining difficulty

Also able to mine BTG using 2gb card and gminer.

But that is slim pickings.
