I have been lurking here for a while, but decided to jump in the discussion.
I have been mining ETH on my gaming rig for a few months now. It's a 1080Ti pulling about 36-37mh/s when overclocked.
I'm always late to the party, but I've been waiting on those damn AMD cards forever and retailers in my country keep pushing release dates and I got tired of waiting so I've decided to pull the trigger and bought 10x1060 3gb. Asus Phoenix 1060 3gb which went for dirty cheap, €200 each (cheap here in Sweden).
And these 1060 are not very powerhungry. I also read it's easer to manage them compared to AMD cards. Just OC the memory and you're good to go, no need to mod BIOS.
Now I wonder if I shoot myself in the foot by ordering 3gb cards instead of 6gb. But I did read that we will hit 3gb limit mid 2018, and by that time I won't need these cards anyway.
Some people report that 3gb cards run lower hash rate because they are near the limit. How true is that? I expect these cards to run about 20-23mh/s each, but if they end up at 15mh/s each, then screw it

20+ is easy. you can mine other coin like zcash
Doing the same thing as you my friend. I average 20Mh/s a card.
