Gpu recommendations for compressed plotting/farming

I’m building a new plotting farming rig, looking for recommendations on Gpu I know you need 12gb to farm and plot. Looking at like a rtx 3060 any brands better than other?

I have several Nvidia RTX 306012gb Ebay around $250.00 they are out there.

Which GPU to buy very much depends on your farm size

Not huge yet but want to have room to grow. Thinking rtx 3060 12gb should be more than enough. Building a HP Z420 with 256gb of ram.

The most important metrics to watch out for are memory size and memory bandwidth. The last gen lower end cards seem to fare great on that scale per $ spent.

12gb is the magic number to plot and farm correct?

See quotes below for the minimum for plotting/farming.
