I got my one 1060 3gb for 180 usd and it did 300 sols for zec. that is 1.667 sols for 1 dollar.
So if you have room , plenty of cheap cooling, lots of risers on hand and free power it is good.
It did 2.65 sols a watt
my builds of 2x 1080ti 1x 1070 do 3.8 to 4.1 sols a watt
I have heat and power cost issues so it is not a good fit for me.
I would need 50 of them to do 14000 sols of zec
I would spend 5600 watts.
but 50 x say 180 = 9000
say
9 mobos
psu's
cpus
risers
total 2500
11500
and my bigger rig of 3x 1080 ti + 1x 1070 = 2700 x 6 = 16,200
1060 3gb vs 3x 1080ti + 1x 1070
11,500 vs 16,200 build cost
14,000 vs 14,000 sols for zec
5,600 vs 3,810 watts
9 rigs vs 6 rigs
if you had free power and space the 1060 3gb look okay
but for resale the 3x 1080 ti + 1x 1070 will sell well
So your 3 shelf rack could do six rigs with 3.1-3.3gh each?
Damn right and use about 6 x 635 = 3810 watts to do 18gh of skein. That is the goal for the winter not now.
or same power and 14000 of sols for zec.
last winter 6 racks x 4 cards 24 msi rx 480 8gb's
about 6 x 600 watts = 3600 watts but only 7200 sols of zec
