Octopus mining on a Nvidia 3060 vs Eth mining on a Nvidia 3060ti

[philipma1957]

I`d preffered 3060ti. For ETH it`s much better then 3060(for this moment) and for other coins - it`s better or same. If ETH goes to PoS - 3060 hash will be little less then 3060ti, but if ETH will be PoW for 2-3 months - you will mine at this time all price difference.

yeah that might be true, however 3060Ti for 1200Eur or 3060 for 550-800 its big difference here.. i can convert cfx to eth if needed, yes it will be less, but 400eur is big difference and i dont think i will mine 400 for each card in addition what i would mine regularly. however that's my opinion taking into account my local situation.

philipma1957 tells about 20% difference between them. and it is about $100 if i understand everything correct.
PS. i want to buy any of these GPU for such prices

I paid 399 + 28 tax = 427 for this 3060 and I have six months to pay.

So why not it makes enough with octopus to justify using it  for 428 price.

I only buy from newegg when I hit the newegg shuffle I buy the card offered.

They are close to retail price.

I agree, octopus is nice choice for 3060, but ETH much more stable. And i agree again, that there are other coins, that we can mine with 3060 more profitable then ETH. But $80 is not a high price to mine everything without any restrictions.

Any gpu you buy at msrp is a good deal at moment regardless of the hashrate because you could in turn become a scalper yourself hehe, I mean buy at msrp and then sell for at least 100% profit, buy for 400 usd and then sell for 800 usd to idiots.

Sure. But i have no opportunity to get such prices. I`ve bought some GPUs last summer-autumn(there were nice prices ) and sold old GPUs february-march. I think it was nice deal.
