Title: Capacity planning Post by: rizabbasi on October 05, 2017, 07:08:15 AM Hi,
Question: Keeping aside the Ethereum (DAG and upcoming PoS), considering 4-5 years ahead plan, would 8 GB GPU have a significant edge over the 6 GB or 6 GB would be sufficient to work for next 4-5 years for different cryptocurrencies?

Title: Re: Capacity planning Post by: alexrossi on October 05, 2017, 07:31:07 AM I'm buying today GPUs with 3gb of ram to mine eth till the party is good (1060). Then we will just move on low RAM algos such as equihash.
Title: Re: Capacity planning Post by: 1234ms on October 05, 2017, 07:44:43 AM I believe when it comes to such long periods of time (3+ years) the quality of the fans on the GPU is more important, than whether it is 8GB or 6GB.
Title: Re: Capacity planning Post by: YOLO_LIFE on October 05, 2017, 09:03:06 AM I think buying 3GB 1060 is still profitable compared to many other cards because of the price of 1060 3GB + you can get almost 25MH on Ethash (only Samsung Memory) + 550 Hash/Sec for cryptonight etc.
If I have money I would still buy more 1060 3GB, because there are many and many new coins around in the market which are mineable.

Sev18 stated that Vram > 4GB has nothing to worry. So are you sure 3 GB would be OK for next 4-5 years? |
