IMG-20220701-WA0000 My hashrate down graded from 31MH/s to 28.62MH/s. And it does not rise again

Sorry i didn't get that

You cannot mine properly with 6GB cards on Windows if that particular card is used as a dedicated display card. Look at it that way : Your card has a maximum of 6GB to load and hold the DAG file. The DAG file currently is 4.938 GB and will keep growing. When you use a card as your display device, a certain amount of memory has to be kept away for display purpose, and it's probably a bit over 1 GB.

Your only solutions are to get another card for display purpose, activate your integrated graphics in your bios (if it's available) or use HiveOS for mining. Otherwise, you'll have to mine something else and profitability might be lower, especially if you pay for power.

@TeeCeeCrypto Well you are wrong. Because my 6gb card is not used for a display. Also it works fine after restarting miner, and it works fine on other miners. Its T REX problem.

it's working fine at gminer, but out of memory at t-rex.

It's hard to say as this issue isn't widespread at all. I still have over 20 1060 6Gb on Trex/Windows rigs and none of them have this issue, and we don't see a lot of miners complaining about it either compared to the initial beta LHR issues we had with Trex.

Did you try running older drivers like 512.77? Your current drivers were released after the most recent Trex version (released around May 22) so there is no guarantee it's going to work and Trex devs probably didn't test with newer drivers extensively as there is usually no need to update your drivers for mining purpose (as in, there is no need to fix what is not broken to begin with).

It may both be a Trex and a drivers compatibility issue. Usually, having not enough memory for DAG generation is due to the GPU being used by something else (like display, or Geforce experience ), which is why I suggested this, but it seems like I was wrong on that account. On my defense, I suggested this fix for a few people on Reddit and it was actually the cause of their issues.

Now, it's totally fine to use another mining software though. I'm not a Trex shill and you should use what works for you. Eventually, Trex devs will update the mining software at one point and hopefully fix this issue, but as it's not widespread (especially if it's linked to newer drivers released past June, which most miners do not use), they're probably going to take their time.

The issue was fixed by T rex in a software update a while back. In the release notes it said it was related to a memory leak in the miner causing 6gb gpu to stop mining earlier than expected.
