So - first time posting here.
I bought 4 RTX 3060 TIs - the cheapest ones that I could find - 3 PNYs Uprising and 1 PNY Gaming Revel.
I have been fiddling with them for a while now (close to two weeks) but I still haven't found their sweet spots.
What I did find is that they need a "ramp-up" sequence to work. This means that I need to start slow (a +900 on memory) and grow every 3 minutes or so with 100 until it gets to +1200.
The hash rate is around 60-61-62-63 MH/s - depends a bit on the tweaks.
For the ramp-up, I created 5 profiles in MSI AB, each one increasing the VRAM by 100 MHz.
Then I created a batch file that sets the first profile, then starts the miner as a separate thread, waits 180 seconds and it sets the second profile, waits 180 seconds and it sets the third profile and so on.
Yes - there are some bad shares - but they are acceptable from my perspective (1.5% over 22 hours and still haven't found the right spot for the GPUs).
Damn you are lucky. In France there is not a single card available :-/
I will be replacing my 1070ti by 3060ti because of the power consumption.
At the current price i can replace my 20 cards splitted in 3 rigs by 10 cards splitted in two rigs and save 800 watts but for that I would need first to be able to buy those damn cards !!!
