b350 extra card for mining

[SenKyy]

so i have a pretty decent rig:

ryzen 7 1700x 

b350 pc mate

corsair 16gb

EVGA 1070 sc

and was wondering if for mining if i should get another 1070 sc ( if that even works ) or get a seperate rig (3x 1060 3gb)

the extra card would be strictly for mining, i already know sli will not work, just want dont want to have to buy a whole new rig just for mining when i could just buy a new card and maybe power supply 

 

thoughts?

 

edit: not sure if i can even use another 1070?!?

Nvidia has just recently instructed re-sellers to not sell GeForce GTX GPUs to miners.

 

So if I were you i'd just stick to gaming.

If you want to mine, you have to decide what your plan is. If one 1070 or 2x1060 is best your your goals will be up to you. If you have a good 550w PSU you can probably get away with the 2nd 1070 in existing system. Just be aware two cards running flat out in one system can get pretty warm, so think about your case cooling.

Any reference for that? There's no way they can find out unless you try ordering a silly number in one go.

Only just saw that... not going to affect small miners in any way.
