Hope this helps for those hoping to get one

[Shaolin Chicken]

Looking at the pictures, it looks like Nvidia are releasing an FE version of the 3060.

Didn't think they were going to.

"the top variant is listed at 600 Euros"



What a time we live in. The FE cards are likely to be be popular with the miners. $329 and expected to delver about 50MH/s, so it should pay for itself in a couple of months if Crypto prices hold.

 

[Defy Belief]

Odd for it to have more VRAM than the 3060ti, 3070 and 3080?!

And clearly going to be slower than a 3060ti.

 

[Benass]

It's going To be be another unicorn .
And 600£ on social media market

3060Ti is apparently the best card for mining, so as the community seems to say, in terms of watt / cost / hash rate.

3060s are basically filling a lower price bracket for 3060Ti I wonder what kind of demand it will have.

 

[Benass]

It feels like any gpu is a best for mining.
Time will tell. Fak me trying To build a pc today is impossible.

Actually the AMD cards are awful for mining this time around but you cant buy any of them as AMD are too busy making consoles!!

 

[Spiritwolf]

Yeah AMD cards this Gen is absolutely terrible for mining, they just don't have any capacity to make any graphics card, (or CPU for that matter)

Actually you can get the 5600x and 5800x quite easily now just the top end CPU's are missing in action!!

 

[Spiritwolf]

More than RRP though. Any at RRP is sold out instantly.

Top 2 tiers are basically unicorns no shipment for about 2 months with next shipment at least another month.

yeah cause they already got the extra gouge price added in.

3060 at the actual proper release price would be really good cards for the actual price. £300. the sad reality is they will be instantly gouged and stuck on ebay or brought for mining. wish nvidia just sold them 1 card at a time to actual buyers.

 

[robfosters]

The fact it has more VRAM than my 3080 annoys me greatly

 

[turbot1984]

Is the 3060 a 200W card? If its less the miners will swoop.

 

[turbot1984]

Ah 170W, crikey. And 12GB, uh?

 

[SkillTim]

Miners will not swoop in. It has a 192-bit bus so will not perform as well as the 3060 Ti, relatively speaking.

 

[~>Dg<~]

depends on how much profit it will earn. if it is 300 for the base model. and bag 50 - 80 quid a month which isnt out of the possibilty they will be gone instantly.

I think as long as card makers profit, it will be enslaved for mining.
Ppl go crazy For mining. They can build rigs with many cards. Sad.

I'd love one of these 3060 FE cards.
