Topic: gtx 1060 3GB vs gtx 1060 6GB - page 2. (Read 13371 times)
I have a question also, is the single fan 1060 adequate or will it get too hot. obviously 2 fan is ideal. I'm actually going to put this in a computer, and also mine, not for a rig which I would go with 2 fan but size of that card is too big for this computer.
I got 1 3gb and few 6gb versions and there are some differences. When mining ethash they mine almost the same but for equihash I get 300 on 6GB vs 275 on 3GB with same clocks and tdp, on skein its 316 vs 280 and on lbry 3GB is also around 10% slower. I didn't configure them for max performance but more for optimal power to performance.
6gb will have a slightly better resale market, and is DAG size resistant if you were to use it for ETH for some ungodly reason. Otherwise they're almost identical.
I have not tested it, but my searching about that was that there is no difference.
Bump.

Hi,
I have few rigs running RX470 cards and now I'm looking to build rig based on nvidia cards. My question is should I go with gtx 1060 3GB or 6GB version?
The prices difference is 19% betweeen 3GB and 6GB and looking at mining hash rate the difference is much smaller, but what about coins that use a lot of memory like ethereum.
Although eth is suppose to go POS in near future there are other coins based on same algo. At this point memory usage while mining eth is around 2.2GB and question is how much memory can be allocated on 3GB version?
