I own an RX480 of 4gb! But Claymore only using 2gb , why?

[almirfiorio]

Dear Friends

I own an RX480! But my RX480 have 4GB

But only using 2gb  ! Does Claymore use only 2GB of memory?

Is there any way to use the 4gb and improve the hashrate?

Thanks

What claymore are you using?

he has for:

ZEC
XMR
ETH

and how do you know it does 2gb not all 4gb?

Have you flashed the BIOS of the GPU?

[almirfiorio]

yes im flashed my rx480

consider selling your 4gb card and buying 2gb to mine etherium with Claymore miner )))))

[almirfiorio]

my card have a modded bios

my vga card now are using 2222 mb

thanks

well looks like your custom bios is a fail for claymore.

does it work on other miners?

[almirfiorio]

im have a Sapphire RX480 Nitro of 4GB

im dont find  a manual to see if is correct

im copy the 1750 value to 1900 and 2000

but are works with 29.5 mh/s of speed

you have any video to modded bios of Sapphire RX480 Nitro of 4gb ?

Thanks

The reason its using only 2 GB is because thats all it needs to mine ethereum

It comes down to DAG file.

please look it up to understand DAG file size.

Come 2018-early 2019 4GB gpu card won't work because DAG file will be larger.

[almirfiorio]

then my vga card are working ok ?

what is "2018-early 2019 4GB gpu card" ??

Thanks

Are you sure, that ethereum will not switch to pos till 2019?

[almirfiorio]

I think it will improve a lot

But my gpu is correct?

No Ethereum may switch to POS from POW before that the DAG file size increases over years thats what requires you to go from 2gb card to 4gb and so on.

there was time when i mined ethereum on 1gb card and than 1.5gb and 2.0gb right now 4 gb cards are sufficient but by late 2018 to 2019 it will move past 3.3gb-3.5gb size when 4gb gpu cards won't be able to mine ethereum.

https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethash-Design-Rationale

they increase by 0.73x per year in file size to keep up with moores law other wise if the DAG files are same and costs of RAM goes down sufficient enough we can have ASICS for Ethereum.

However POS is expected to happen way before 2018 but again anything could happen.

Your card using 2.2gb is okay and the hashing speed your are getting is very normal, so you are okay.
