Title: RTX 2060/2070 bad?
Post by: Skinny48 on October 11, 2021, 11:45:45 AM
If 3060,3060ti, 3070 and 3080 non LHR GPUs are scarce to find and you don't want to switch for AMD graphic cards will you choose gtx1660supers or the RTX20** series?


Rtx2060 and 2070 are not hard to find here but I'm not seeing people building rigs with these cards, is there something about them when it comes to crypto mining? Why is no one talking about them?

Because there is nothing special to this card. You canīt buy new cards, only used one for to high prices.
If you find some cards cheap, they are good. But it is better to buy 2060 Super -> 2060 Super and 2070 are nearly the same cards and doning up to 45mh on ethash -> the normal 2060 has only 6GB vram and do only around 32mh.

I am one kind of person who does not care much and I have even bought the Gtx 1080 ti which is equivalent in hash rate to the RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 and I see nothing wrong about those cards.The reason people prefer the 3000 series is simple and it is they perform better and are also more energy efficient.

1080ti use much more electricity than 2060 Super, but yeah you have "free" electricity  ;)

The reason why some are avoiding these cards (RTX20**) is because they use more electricity than the newer RTX30** graphic cards, some even prefer the gtx1660 super and 1660 ti over the rtx2070 cards

And thatīs not true. A 2060 S use around 120w and do 45mh. What LHR card reach this level of efficency?

I'd choose the 1660super over 2060 and other because 1660s save more power than the 2060s and others, also price wise isn't worth it those 2070supers costs as much as 3060s in my country so why not just go for newer GPUs ?

I disagree with the OP's premise, 2000 series GPUs can sell for more than original MSRP. We can thank LHR for that.
Those who buy LHR for mining don't care about power efficiency so older less efficient tech is no problem.

Rtx2060 and 2070 video cards appeared on the market in late 2018 (Rtx2070) and early 2019 (Rtx2060).
Many reviews and mining instructions have already been written about these video cards. There is nothing new to say about them.
Rtx2070 I have, 40 MH, excellent video cards.

If anyone has these cards for sell at reasonable prices I'm ready to buy them, what type of idiot walk away from rtx2070 super and 2060 super because of power consumption? Also these cards power draw isn't bad at all unless you are new to the whole crypto mining thing

1080ti has a ratio of 225 Kh/W
2070s a ratio of 310 Kh/W
2080 ratio 340 Kh/W
3060ti ratio 500 Kh/W
