GTX 1060 3gb question

[duffann]

Hello Guys,

I wonder if gtx 1060 3gb still works ok for equihash ? For example for eth , 3gb cards were not working , is it also the case for equihash mining for 1060 3gb ?
Also I see that gtx1060 give nearly 300 sols , is it still valid for this card ? Can anyone give info about this. I want to be sure before buying.

Yes, its fine for equihash.

I still mine ETH with 1060 3Gb...

a year ago I bought RX480, RX570 and 2 pieces NVIDIA 1060 6GB. that time it cost 1060 more expensive than the RX480.

until recently RX480 running mining without any problems and damage but 1 unit of my NVIDIA suffered damage to the fan.

in terms of hashrate was smaller than RX480 in ETHASH, and in Equihash more or less the same.

from that experience, I recommend not to buy 1060, if you stick to the NVIDIA option better buy 1070.

Thanks for answers. ! I have already 1 1060 but it is 6gb , So I was curious if buying a 3gb 1060 will be a problem in near future.

Says DAG says for eth won't be 3GB+ till like April 2019.

if the Algo Equihash is fine, but VRAM 6 GB VS 3 GB is different in terms of performance, because in the process of mining, GPU function to generate code in block transactions. So the speed of dragging is certainly different from 6GB and 3 GB VRAM.so if long-term goals are certainly not worth.

It's perfectly fine, I have 13 of them running in the same rig and I get good results with low power consumption
