Dear members

how to use the Sapphire rx 480 nitro 4 gb vga card?

is it not possible to use it to mine ethereum anymore?

only video cards of 6 gb or more?

Thanks
Almir

Hi,

DAG size is more than 4GB so you should be probably able to mine for some more time (not long) but your hashrate will be very limited by that. probably like 5Mhs now in windows and 8 in linux. so yes youa re able to mine some short period of time but actualy no

I have an rx580 4gb running at 27.9 Mh/s. Just get HiveOS and use lolminer 1.23 as ur miner and you should be good

The key is put the gpu into the first long slot closest to cpu. 
Use Lolminer
Hash 26mhs+
Profit

Hmm so this lolminer zombie mode still works? That's awesome, @miner29 what about if one have more than a single rx480 4gb gpu? Since you stated that the gpu must be inserted into the long PCIe slot which is the x16 I believe

My vga card does not work

Socket connection closed remotely by pool

how im can fix this?

The trick is the card must be in a full slot on mobo.  It is using a little bit of system ram to store the DAG over 4gb.  So for full speed need x16 pcie lanes.  If oyu have a bigger cpu you can maybe get 2 or even 3 (i have a TR2 cpu with 48 lanes so can do 3 x16 slots).  But even x8 gives a nice increase.  This trick will last a couple more months then the 4gb will slow down just like regular zombie mode.  But a wonderful hack by lol.

on 4gb 570 in slot-0...currently get 26mhs
on 4gb 560 in slot-0...currently get 14.5mhs

This is not reular zombie mode,..this is using super zombie mode...ie just plug it in primary gpu slot and run lolminer.  It does the rest.  Oh one last thing i know it works in linux but windows probably not due to how much vram windows sucks up.

If you have a bunch around you can mine haven protocol with them, the profit is pretty good for a 4 year old gpu at about $1.25 per day.

Additional parameters for configuring the miner:

Code:

--4g-alloc-size 4078 or --4g-alloc-size 4076

These parameters may be suitable.

Code:

--zombie-tune 15.5
--keepfree 8

I think teamredminer also does 4g ethash, lower fee for polaris cards, 0.75%.

Teamredminer does not allow mining Ethereum in zombie mode on a 4 GB video card with a hash rate above 20 megahash.
For 8GB 470,480,570,580 graphics card, teamredminer may be the best choice if you want the lowest commission.
Lol miner is the only solution that now allows you to get a good profit on 4 GB video cards when mining Ethereum
