KawPow loads the entire DAG into GPU memory. It grows by 8 MB every 7,500 blocks. 4-GB cards are out of the question. 6 GB is expected on March 20, 2027 (Epoch 641, Block 4,807,500). 8 GB will last until around November 2030.

How the DAG Is Growing
Initial value: 1,024 MB, plus 8 MB per epoch. Epoch = block height divided by 7,500, rounded down. With a block time of one minute, 7,500 blocks equate to approximately 5.2 days.
Miners need some headroom above the pure DAG. A card with a nominal 6 GB of memory can run out of memory even before Epoch 641 if Windows, an overlay, or a second monitor uses up memory. That’s why 8 GB is the minimum requirement for hardware you’ll still be buying for RVN in 2026.
What You Should Do
- 6-GB cards (1660 Super, 2060 6 GB, 5500 XT): Check the projected returns in the calculator; plan to phase them out in 2027.
- New graphics card: 8 GB or more; see the mining guide.
- Build a pool line: Miner command.
Check the current level on an Explorer or Pool dashboard and enter it above. The table will then update accordingly.
