Is ZCash hash so vram consuming also?

[muf18]

I have a question - is Zcash so vram consuming as ETH ? I have a bunch of old amd 2gb cards, that could be plugged into, and with ETH and ETH classic even charging more than 2gb vram I can't do it...
So I have a question - is this a problem with Zcash too or not?

Nope zcash is more reliant on core rather than memory. I'm not sure if it would be too profitable with your specific GPU but you could certainly still do it.

It's not a problem. 7850 with 1gb vram mines just fine.

GTX 1060 and up as well as a lot of the old AMD and all the new AMD cards work great for zcash . and yup memory doesn't seem to affect the speed if you over clock it.
 
 overclocking the core engine does.

I have a AMD r9 280 not the x version @ stock  setting that does 291 sol once it settles down after start up,using it to eth mine sucks but it's great right now for zec mining/zcash

Do you how much have 7850/7870 and RX 460 Sol in Zcash and similar miners?
Can somebody also supply with the information, which hashing scripts also don't require lots of memory (which isn't so used afterall).

The algorithms that I know that aren't so memory reliant are Neoscrypt, Equihash, LBRY, and Lyra2rev2. Any coins doing those are good I think but let someone else confirm it.
