Firominer stopped working with GPUs with only 8GB of memory about a week ago. Windows reserves about 1GB of GPU memory for its own use (regardless of whether you are going to use the GPU for Windows displays or not) - this is a long time issue and Microsoft refuses to address the issue. Other miners (T-rex etc) may get a few more epochs of use before they stop working with 8GB GPUs as well because of the way they do memory management. Firominer now requires GPUs with at least 9GB of VRAM to work - meaning that GPUs with 10, 11, 12GB should work fine.
