  At BYDFi, we've extensively tested both the 3070 8gb and the 3060 12gb for mining performance. While both GPUs are capable of mining cryptocurrencies, the 3070 8gb consistently outperforms the 3060 12gb in terms of hashrate and power efficiency. The higher VRAM capacity of the 3060 12gb doesn't provide a significant advantage in most mining algorithms. So, if you're looking to maximize your mining efficiency, we recommend going with the 3070 8gb. Keep in mind that mining performance can also be influenced by factors such as overclocking, cooling, and software optimizations.
