Hi guys,
Sorry for my bad English...
I want to add a new cards to my old small mining rig with 2x 7970. I was thinking on GTX 1060 or 1070.
Thats how prices look at my country (used 1-3 months old cards with warranty)
GTX 1060 3GB - 280$
GTX 1060 6GB - 400$
GTX 1070 8GB - 550$
*GTX 1080ti 11GB - 950$

* To expensive as for one GPU...

What will give me the best ROI? It's there a big difference between 1060 3GB and 6GB versions? I was looking on older theards here and prices on GPU goes sky high... Thats why I don't know if I should buy a GPU's to my rig right now. How do you thinks?

Considerations are Budgets and electricity cost, if you're on tight ones, go 1060, if you have some budgets then go for 1070 it sure is more expensive and has more hashrates than 1060, however if budget is not concern then go for 1080ti.

with Hashrates, not seem has difference at all in ETH mining, however, you could get some trouble in DAG issue later on once activated with 3GB, anyways, a lot of Ethash algo out there that has a small dag. Resale is also considered, 6GB is sure a big difference in resale value.
