The expiration date of 5G/6G cards such as 1065 and 1660s

Last Thursday (March 4), due to the increase in DAG, 1065 and other 5G GPUs could not mine ETH on Windows 10. We published a post titled "What to do with 1065? What about 1066/1660 and other 6G GPUs?" overnight.

I was on a business trip the night the article was published, so I didn’t have a test environment to estimate the lifespan of 5G and 6G graphics memory in the OS system. After our test yesterday, we found that it was absolutely necessary to make a supplementary explanation, hoping that it will be helpful to users of 5G and 6G graphics memory.

The test found that the service life of 5G graphics card in OS is about the end of May 2022, which is 14 months longer than the WIN10 system (early March 2021). From this, we can infer that the service life of 6G graphics card in OS should also be 14 months longer than the WIN10 system in July 2022, that is, September 2023. However, the service life of P106 should not be restricted by the WIN10 system, but the service life is slightly longer than other 6G graphics card.

For 6G graphics cards that are familiar with the WIN10 system, there is no need to rush to migrate the OS, as there is still a lot of time.

From now on, you can send 5G or 6G to the official account to check the validity period of 5G and 6G respectively.

If you have experience with Easy Miner group control, you can consider Easy OS, but it is not recommended. The advantage is that you can directly install OS on your current WIN10 system to build a dual system, and it only takes up 1G of hard disk space. Although it was said to stop updating a year ago, it has been half-heartedly updated in the past year. Send to the official account: OS automatic reply instructions.
