Title: Have 4GB Cards Gone Obsolete with ETH mining? Post by: joerazor on February 21, 2021, 09:23:01 PM I had some cards laying around since the 2016 mining frenzy, and decided to recently build back my rigs on SMOS.
I noticed though that all my 4GB cards are hashing at 8mh/s while my 8GB cards are hashing at their normal ~30MH/s speed https://i.ibb.co/3YkcM34/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-11-17-07-PM.png Is there any way to increase the mining speed for those 4gb cards? They are pretty useless at those speeds, especially their power draw is the same as when they were hashing at ~28 Would appreciate any help in getting those 4GB cards to hash some profits with better hashrate. Running Phoenix Miner v5.5 (Tried previous Phoenix versions as well) Title: Re: Have 4GB Cards Gone Obsolete with ETH mining? Post by: waywoos on February 21, 2021, 09:29:45 PM all done pretty much.
mine eth classic Title: Re: Have 4GB Cards Gone Obsolete with ETH mining? Post by: TGJ on February 21, 2021, 09:44:58 PM You need to use Lolminer and the 4GB cards have to be connected directly to a PCIE x16 slot, i.e. not with an x1 riser. You should then be able to get 27 or so MH/s.

For the best profit, set up your 4GB video cards for Ravencoin (RVN) mining.I noticed though that all my 4GB cards are hashing at 8mh/s while my 8GB cards are hashing at their normal ~30MH/s speed https://i.ibb.co/3YkcM34/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-11-17-07-PM.png Is there any way to increase the mining speed for those 4gb cards?

Running Phoenix Miner v5.5 (Tried previous Phoenix versions as well) The profit per day is more than 2 dollars from one video card, this is a very good result. It is very expensive to buy several system units to connect each video card to the PCIE x16 slot Title: Re: Have 4GB Cards Gone Obsolete with ETH mining?

Those power draw are insanely high, a single RX470 should be using 80watt max for ethereum mining, you are burning away electricity my friend, also yes 4gb memory is now useless for ethereum mining right now, you should look into lolminer, it's giving some 22-25mh per second I noticed though that all my 4GB cards are hashing at 8mh/s while my 8GB cards are hashing at their normal ~30MH/s speed https://i.ibb.co/3YkcM34/Screen-Shot-2021-02-21-at-11-17-07-PM.png Is there any way to increase the mining speed for those 4gb cards?

Post by: FireBallex on February 26, 2021, 03:31:52 PM If mining is truly on your mind it's better to sell the gpu and buy 8gb memory gpu, you can still mine conflux octopus on the GPU which is profitable for Nvidia gpu, can't say much about AMD, 4GB glory days is over already
