I read sometime that 3GB can mine ETH only if they are combined whit 8GB gpu, is this still true?.

The only GPU i could consider being rasonable would be 1060GTX. other old cards dont put the MHS for the power draw.

4.547 GB how are you going to use on a graphics card with 3 GB of RAM?
Use your 3gb graphics cards to mine Ethereum Classic de mid next year.
In June 2022, you will be able to repeat the combined mining method 8 GB + 3 GB to slightly extend the possibility of mining on 3 GB video cards.
Have a look on here. It tells you what you can currently mine with a 3gb card (plus any others), and when the coin dag size will increase.
(although as pointed out already, I don't believe rvn can't be mined with a 3gb card anymore even though the site suggests it can).

I'm currently mining Rvn with a 1050 ti 3 gb card (kAWPOW) so it works definitely.
I'm also interested in mining eth with an additional 6 gb card together with the 3 gb card

1050ti is 4gb not 3gb.  Thats is why you are still mining RVN.

thanks for the clarification that makes sense
So I can mine RVN until the 4 Gb will be the bottleneck
That's clean

But I would like to get an answer to my original question if possible :
Is it possible to mine ETH with the 1050ti if it's in a rig together with 6 gb cards?

Or in that case the 6 gb cards will mine  the ETH and the 1050 ti will still mine the RVN ?
