To be hones I’m a bit confused, on one hand I see 2060 mentioned in here https://staging-forum.xx.network/t/how-we-build-test-nodes/1225 but on other hand https://staging-forum.xx.network/t/revised-betanet-node-hardware-requirements/1269/69
So I think it is best to clarify on discord xx network if 2060 is ok to run a node.
@Leo To quote the post you’re mentioning …
Before I get into too much detail, it is really important that everyone understand the hardware I’m using is not a final recommendation . Much testing needs to be done and some components may not meet the final requirements. So with that said, NONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS RECOMMENDED HARDWARE .
And the specifications were revised in the other post you mentioned. Final specs are in the Beta Node Handbook
Discord has a very short memory.

The requirements clearly state that the GPU has to be at least Nvidia Turing, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070. So, unless the configuration is upgraded, I cannot support this application.
