I wonder if this has anything to do with ETH not being able to be mined on 3GB cards any more. I may be mistaken, but I recall several months back people with 3GB 1060s no longer being able to mine ETH because of the size of the DAG. http

The shortage is not entirely because of miners. Nvidia manufacturers switched to using slower RAM in some of their cards. This was actually a very smart move (they should expand it to all their cards IMO). If you want the fast RAM, you h
