BITNAND announces the NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB graphics card, specially developed for mining, with a cut-out PCB, no video connectors, a passive heatsink and a very low power consumption.

Luckily there is a shortage of graphics cards on the market and this is causing a rise in the price of graphics cards, thank goodness. The grace of all this is that BITNAND, a company specialized in ASICs for Bitcoin mining, has presented the NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB graphics card, which has been designed to give the best possible results in the mining of Ethereum and Monero . Its main characteristics are that it is more compact than the gaming model, it has no video connectors, the heatsink is passive and consumes almost half that of the gaming model.

We have seen several of these graphics cards, by Gigabyte, ASUS or Inno3D, which are sold directly to miners and mining farms, since in Europe they cannot be sold in stores, because the warranty is limited to three months and in Europe the minimum legal guarantee is two years, therefore, it would be to skip the law or invalidate the shortened guarantee.

BITNAND has announced this GTX 1060, which differs little from the gaming model in essence, since it also uses the GP106 GPU and 6GB of GDDR5 memory. As we said, the big differences are in the completely passive heatsink, the size of the PCB, which is smaller and that no type of video connector has been implemented. Something very interesting is that this graphics card goes from a TDP of 120W, of the gaming model, to 70W in this special model for mining, possibly because it has been subjected to an undervolt (reduction of the working voltage, among others) .

According to the data, this graphics card is capable of offering about 22MH / s for mining Ethereum and about 500H / s for mining Monero. The funniest thing of all is that the 1060GB BITNAND GTX 6 is priced at $ 389, while the gaming models hardly fall below € 450, currently on the market.
