even if 3gb gpu will be useless for ETH you can mine other dagger coin like ETC or musiccoin, and with a 1060 i would not mine ETH anyway but zen or zcash or zcash classic
Yeah but the reason why I mine ETH is because it's steadily rising in price. I can mine 5 coins now and earn maybe $1500 with current ETH price. But if I keep those 5 coins and sell them in a year those 5 coins could be worth $8.000. I doubt that other coins will go up as much as ETH.
I agree... Everyone is hating on Nvidia for mining Eth but they do pretty well stock. My 3gb cards are running around 20 Mh/s. I get around 290-305 on my 3Gb cards on Zcash but right now I am just burning Eth to hold.
I have 3 AMD rigs and 2 Nvidia rigs up and running right now. I had been using the Nvidia for Zcash and transfering it to Btc to cash out and pay the bills while the AMD just burn and hold Eth but the transfer fee from Zcash to BTC and then from BTC to my Coinbase bla bla bla... I am actually doing better just mining Eth and when I need to pay Electric or buy more gear Eth transfer fee and time of transaction are much quicker and cheeper than ZEC-->BTC-->Coinbase-->USD.
Once Eth is too big for the 3gb cards I'll switch them over to some other profitable coin. They are already ROI'd so as long as they cover Electric... Anything else is profit.
