Hey mates,

I'm about to buy another rig with several gtx 1060, but I don´t know if it´s better option to spend a bit more on 6 gb models or buy 3 gb models..... because of future dag epoch so we couldn´t mine eth....

I doubt between these cards:

- msi gaming gtx 1060 x 3gb: 268€
- zotac amp gtx 1060 6 gb: 300€
- gigabyte aorus gtx 1060 6 gb: 332€

What option would you choose right now? I'm thinking about mining eth and zec.

Regards and thanks in advance

3GB cards have about 1 year of life on ETH, after that switch to something else.
However, the main thing you should be interested in is what brand of memory
each of them uses.

Samsung does 24-25, Micron does 23-24, Hynix does 18-20Mh/s



but after a year, 3 gb cards will be also valid for mining zec, right??

so, I suppose that if I receive a hynix card, I should return it ASAP xD
