Just installed a gtx 1060 in my machine today, and installed cuda9 drivers, what hashrate can I expect to achieve with this. I've installed MSI after burner and have the following settings

Power Limit 80%
Temp Limit 60 degrees
core clock 2164 (+200)
Mem Clock 4404 (+600)
Fan Speed Auto.

It's running at 46 degrees, with the fan at 48%, and I'm getting 516h/s, but I am under the impression that I should be getting KHz/s, I set up the mining on an old HD 7870 and was getting 400Hz/s without overclocking, so this is only 25% faster.

Is anyone able to share their settings or offer any advice please

Thanks

AMD cards are much better for CryptoNight, 516h/s is good result for your card. You can go to http://monerobenchmarks.info/ and look at what hashrate are people getting with different cards.

My MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X (Samsung Memory) All do 529 H/s , MY Power Color RX 570 4GB does 790 H/s

Thanks for the link, do you think it would be better to mine something else... Is there somewhere I can find out info on this?                                                                   

I think KlausT has the fastest free ccminer for cryptonight. Then there's SP with his paid miner that should be a bit faster still. At this point though it doesn't make sense anymore, there was a short period when ETN was so profitable that even nvidia guys were mining it, but now even ZEC is better than ETN on 1060.

Anything with Ethash should be better with Nvidia cards.

Thanks, I'm just looking to pay off my spontaneous GTX1060 purchase, which, according to my overnight mining stats, should be around 6 months


THanks for the tip, the research continues... any idea what hashrate i can expect with my card on ethhash?

Up to 20 MH/s if you've got Hynix ram, up to 25 MH/s if it's Samsung, and somewhat in between if it's Micron. Run gpu-z to check the brand of memory installed.

I get 510-520 on all my 1060s, regardless of memory type. All less than 60 watts at the wall. Set power to 50%, core to 0, mem to +650-700 and enjoy the profit. Cryptonights my favorite due to my high $/kwh.

My 6x RX 570 rig needs 530 Watt and produced 50% higher hashrate per card compared to a GTX 1060. With your rig you will probably also consume at least 400 Watt at higher costs per card.

My kW/h costs are also rather high but you always need to keep a healthy balance between power limit and revenue.

I have Micron memory. Seems I'm making an ok return on my card, based on my calcs from today's mining, i should be hitting somewhere around $150 p/m with my current settings


Gonna check those settings now, thanks for posting


I am only running one GTX, it's not a mining rig


Here's something interesting, my display performance was average at best while mining on my 1060, so I decided to put my old 7870 back in and use that for the display while the 1060 mines, then have them both mining when I'm not using the computer. Got it all set up with them both mining, and the ATI can mine and let me do basic display stuff at the same time.

Question for the more experienced miners... the gtx is pushing 500hz/s, and my 7870 442 with some overclocking, I know people have previously said that the Cryptonight algo is much better with ATI cards, but is the hashrate all that counts with mining, or are there other hardware aspects taken into account also?

Power consumption and the price of hardware are the other aspects that should be taken into account. :) By the way, your 7870 might probably do even more, cause with AMD cards you can flash a bios with tighter timings. I know for sure that there are some available for 7950/7970, so there might be some for 7870s as well.
