7 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (single x16 or dual x16/x16 or triple x16/x16/x16 or quad x16/x16/x16/x16 or seven x16/x8/x8/x8/x8/x8/x8)

I'm not ready to buy such mobo yet.

There is a description, and link for the driver, BUT please verify it before install.

Info from someone on discord:

Summary so far on 3060:
-Use the 470.05 Dev Nvidia driver
-Need to stick the 3060 into motherboard directly (Does not work with riser)
-Must have at least pcie 3.0 enabled in bios, or set to auto
-HDMI/Display port of the graphics card needs to be either connected to a monitor or dummy plug
-2nd 3060 on the same mb will work as long as it is plugged into the x16 slot running x8 lanes or above with HDMI/Display port filled (not confirmed with 3 cards)
-Some have confirmed working cards after fresh windows install, then installing the 470.05 dev driver
-Works on ASUS STRIX/TUF/DUAL 3060, Palit 3060, EVGA black 3060, EVGA 3060 XC GAMING(12G-P5-3657-KR), Galax 3060, Gigabyte 3060 Vision OC, MSI Ventus 2x, MSI Gaming X, Zotac 3060 twin edge
-Does not work on Inno3D that we know of

EDIT2: It seems to have been tested on pci-X 4x slots and did not work. Only 8x and 16x work, with a dummy cable and no risers.

EDIT3: Current record for maximum number of 3060 on 1 mobo is 2 cards, running on x16 and x8 full slots.

EDIT4: 8x / 8x also seems to work.

Running 1 ASUS STRIX card at 42 mh/s into the mbo with that driver for 24 hours without problems!
Fresh Windows and then 470.05 driver.

Windows 10 20h2 v2, asus z97 and gigabyte h97, Msi Ventus 2x and Msi Ventus 3x working fine.

Does anyone know if you have to keep the monitor connected to the 3060 turned on or something? Running on ethermine my reported hashrate is 20 mh/s higher than the current hashrate.

I have my monitor off and it is still hashing at full speed.

3 3060s seem to work OK too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rjwLdqjqLs

Any news, that linux can run 3060 on ETH at full speed ?

well if they can bypass the block this card should be awesome on msrp price compared rx 6700 479$ and only 338gbps bandwith with max clock wont even passing the predecessor,

[Metroid]

Where I live 3060 12gb are being sold for 1000 usd, 3 x more than msrp, insane, whoever are buying them will regret.

There are two types of buyers these days.

1. Wanna-be-rich ones as in every bull run.

2. Old miners replacing older GPUs with newer... after selling the old ones.

I did buy a few considerably more expensive GPUs lately ... after selling the 10xx and 20xx series for about the same price

I just got new prices today where I live, plenty to buy, 3090 for 3999 usd, 3080 for 2200 usd, 3070 for 1450 usd, 3060ti for 1250 usd and 3060 for 1000 usd. I guess only idiots will buy them because no sane people will buy them.

Where did you see these prices?
They are only available on the websites of official video card manufacturers, but at such prices it is impossible to buy anything.
The 3060 costs $ 1000-1200 in stores, the rx 6700 costs $ 1300-1600. These are the real prices for today. There may be cheaper offers without a guarantee, but that's another point.

[badbart]

Microcenter in my town has 3060s for $500, I just picked up one and had a freind buy another for me, they are checking IDs to limit it to one a month, lol.  It will be nice to mine something other then eth, I despise eth devs.

The two 3060s will replace four 1070s that i will sell for more then i paid for the 3060s, lol.

yeah 6700 are being sold for 1300 usd where I live too, insane and 2 months ago a 3060ti were being sold for 600 usd, today 1300 usd.

nvm

Has anybody managed to remove the limiter while using a x16 to x16 riser? My stupid fucking motherboard has the 2 pci3 slots too close to each other and my 2 3060s won't fit at the same time.

Works for me, at least with one card.
