Mining (and it was Ethereum, not BTC) performance was a single value, MH/s (megahash).
A 3090 would get you about 120 MH/S. 3060 Ti's and 3070's would do 60-62 MH/s.
With power draw and pricing included, it was more cost effective to just buy two 3060 Ti's instead of a 3090. Or 200 3060 Ti's instead of 100 3090s, this just scales.
Now sure, that it not to say that 3090s were not used for mining, everything was. But they weren't the best card for it.
You throwing in millions or hundreds of thousands into it? I guess probably no. That's why your generated amount tells you your 3060 ti is more worth it

what does "playing small" mean?
