Title: GTX 1060 Owners

Anyone in here mining with GTX 1060's, more specifically Zotac 6GB variants?

Would be interested in some of your overclocking results in relation to mining as information seems to be quite scarce (who'd have thought).

There is plenty of info about OC on the forum, even though I'm pretty sure a 1060 is not a great mining GPU, but you might still be able to extract some cash

1.  nVidia GPU's suck for mining.
2.  You can't mine Bitcoin with GPU's anyway.
3.  Read the forum rules.

Maybe you're wanting to play the odds solo mining is why you're not asking in altcoin? Chances are you could live a few thousand lives before chancing to win block and fees using GPU to mine for BTC.

Adjust aim and look to nicehash benchmark to get the numbers you're after and remember sha254 and scrypt GPU days have long since passed.

Do their promised earnings on prof. calculator match actual earnings once you start selling your GPU power to NH?

Not a clue to be honest. I don't mine with it but I have used it in the past to quick benchmark hashrate of a small box of random cards.
