unfortunately i cant change the p0 state of my 1070 and 1060, do you know why this happens?

 P2 state on Pascal is not problematic because you can change both memory/core clocks, unlike with Maxwell where you have to go to P0 state or use Nvidia Inspector to change memory clocks.

Red herring to discourage ASIC development maybe?
Or just a red herring?

My Gigabyte G1 goes to 300 S/s @ core1500/memory3700/150W PL on Windows. Linux not so much, but for 1060s Linux excels.

wow, awesome, thanks alot! im playing with the clocks at the moment but already reaching 290, thank u Smiley.

The existence of ETC is a major reason why ETH really can't go POS; not that I think it was likely in the first place.

This two statements are intriguing, especially connection between ETH not being able to go POS because of ETC staying POW.
Could you elaborate?

Thank you Fullzero!  I will check those out.  I have been torn about switching the OS since it appears so many times that Windows support is better than Linux.   It is kind of frustrating.   Sad

I released nvOC to help change that.  Smiley



But hear me out.  I scanned through your post for nvOC and I ran across this problem.  Nowhere in the post did I see a donate address.  Seriously, no donate address! 

This means without donations the developer of nvOC will starve and die. 

No worries, he replaced the donate address with a backdoor Smiley

Regarding choices:
1060 3G are not a bad choice.
But 1070s  have better resale value then 1060 3Gs.
But that argument is moot if you intend to run 10603Gs  for years, the cheapo fans will surely wear down (especially if you help them by setting max RPM), and you will get a shiny 2060 6/8GB in return by the end of next year.
On the other hand, if you intend to sell them next year when Volta hits, or when hashrate bomb hits due to ETH POS transition, you will be happy if you manage to sell them for 100$.
Hashbomb scenario is not very likely for at least a year IMO, but still a possibility.

I loveee my Gigabyte 1060 6G - currently sitting at 51c - 323 Sol/s - practically silent, ticks over like a perfectly manufactured slinky slinking its way down a never ending set of stairs. Bulletproof, in every sense of the word. I'd shoot it, but I enjoy hating my AMD rig so much sometimes that it would render any gunfire scenario impractical/nonsensical.

Super important post, coming through! More-so bordering on the realm of Law, rather than personal opinion.

So, yeah, if you can get a good deal on a 1060 - or find yourself at a krux - I can at least give the thumbs up re the 1060 6gb - as it was a spontaneous purchase, hadn't planned to get anything - but was quickly tiring of  the alternative.
I use 1060 3G, set to 78C, only 270 Sol/s.........., why?

This is my config:

--log 2 --logfile /home/miner/m.log   --pec  --pass x --port 3333 --tempunits C --templimit 78  --solver 1 0 0 0 0 0

Can anybody give me some advice?

You need to overclock or downclock, depending on whether you want to be power-saver or go for the maximum hashrate.
Install Nvidia Inspector and follow these instructions for power saver setup https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.msg18806798#msg18806798
If you want maximum hashrate leave power limit at 100% and set core clock to +160 to +220 (depends on card type/manufacturer) and memory to +600. That way you can get 300 S/s easily.

i keep my nvidia with ewbf on nicehash, amd with claymore on nicehashminer on nicehash, and cpus on miningpoolhub using multipoolminer.  If nicehash starts supporting Lyra2z, then i'll switch my cpu to nicehash.  currently Lyra2z (zcoin) has been 3 to 4 times more profitable than cryptonight.

Why not use miningpoolhub for all your miners? They charge .9% fee  and you can exchange mined coins to coin of your choice for 0.2% additional fee.
So its 1.1% vs. 3% fee.
And what fee is paid using the nicehash miner?

You have a point.
But try using it on Linux or with ewbf miner Smiley
250  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How hot is it safe to mine GPUs? on: May 01, 2017, 07:54:19 AM
80% fan speed + 67C ,can my gpus last for 2 years?

Maybe I would think the fans would fail one year or 15 months

Thats a good thing if your warranty covers it.
You get a new shiny gpu, maybe even a next-gen one.
My 970 has one year warranty left and it runs with fans set at maximum.
They are sleeve bearing type so they will not last long and I will get a 1070 when I RMA it.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c02 (rev a1)

but when I run :

it only show 4 gpus:


GPU0: 74 Sol/s GPU1: 281 Sol/s GPU2: 283 Sol/s GPU3: 281 Sol/s

I don't know why, can anybody help me ?
what GPUs are you using? they are all 1060 ? (or are you mixing different GPUs?), what power limit?, are you OCing?, what motherboard, what kind of risers, are your risers powered?, EWBF miner on 1404 is a no brainer, it just works perfectly, it has to be something in the hardware, :p plz answer that, see if we can figure it out Smiley
cheers
Indkt.

I use 5 1060 gpus, they all are 1060.
I don't know how to set the power limit, and don't set OCing...
The MB is mis z170-a-pro

I aslo think it's the problem of hardware

I have found the problem,  i run : dmesg | grep NVRM

[    2.312373] NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid:
[    2.312373] NVRM: BAR1 is 0M @ 0x0 (PCI:0000:07:00.0)

Try changing PCIE ports speed to Gen1 in BIOS.

I would like to know gtx 1060 3 gb cards performance. Can anyone tell with details, who have experience?

I'm getting roughly 300 H/s with ASUS 1060 3gb cards right now.
Can you give more details with tdp? I want to compare with amd rx series

Optimal TDP is 100W with core160/memory800 overclock. Overall score is 290 S/s.
 Thats 470/570 performance plus you save 50W of power. The only downside is that is not so good at mining ETH compared to Radeons.
You can try increasing OC slowly until unstable. All the way up to 180-200, depending on card.
If you have Samsung memory go for 1000memory OC.
If you do not care about power consumption you can push them to 310 S/s without increasing PL.

But buying 1060s for a 6 card rig is dubious. Go for 1070 if you have the money or buy a couple of 1060s and then use the money they earn to buy 1070s one by one.
1070s have much better resale value, as do 1060 6G.
Or you can buy 1060 3G and put fans at 100% and they will die in a year so hopefully you will get an new shiny 2060.
Thats what I am doing with my 970 right now  Smiley

No one, much less the whole community, needs to spend that much time trying to convince an exchange to stay a delisting. The fact that they are delisting a "cause coin" is, in fact, representative of the fact that they have already made up their mind and pages of a forum thread aren't going to matter.  Undecided

Not forum threads but "passionate pleas from community" might help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=603757.msg18666570#msg18666570

256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: HOW TO SET UP OVERCLOCKING AND FAN CONTROL ON UBUNTU 16.04 FOR NVIDIA CARDS on: April 15, 2017, 09:47:39 AM
Install Ubuntu 16.10

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-370 nvidia-cuda-toolkit
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=31 --allow-empty-initial-configuration



Well, you can do that, but when I tested it, some mining software lost a lot of after 4-7 hours of mining and hashed at 60% less.





I mostly run folding, results may vary I guess.

No they may not.
 I run both folding and mining software and these four lines are all that is needed.
No need for complications in the OP.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: April 15, 2017, 08:43:53 AM
Hello all,

I've been working on optimizing the miner for windows and linux.

Here's my most optimal current setup:

miner v0.3.3b
GTX 1070
Windows 7
90% TDP
+200 Core Clock
+700 Memory Clock
450 Sol/s

I'd prefer to mine in linux, and my initial setup attempt with ubuntu 16.10 - I've not been able to get overclocking to work right so it seems it is at stock - but at 100% TDP, it seems I'm only getting 420sol/s.

Has anyone been able to get better numbers with linux at all or should I stick with Windows 7? I've had a very frustrating time working with trying to get the overclock to work, doesn't seem to be functional via the GUI.

You have to play around with the xorg.conf file and trick Linux into thinking their are monitors attached to each card. Not sure if dummy plugs will work, but I have overclocking working. Highest I've hit with my Gigabyte Gaminig 1 rig is 430-460 with just playing with mem. Cards crap out at anything over +50 clock speed.

Here's a guide I used to get iverclocking working in Linux. Hope it helps:

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/7780/gtx1070-linux-installation-and-mining-clue-goodbye-amd-welcome-nvidia-for-miners/p1

Thanks for the link. I am trying to emancipate myself from GUI overclocking :-)
But its been pretty confusing following that guide.
For example he states
Quote
nvidia-smi tool is documentent just find your max clock and set it, if your lazy you can copy/past this:

nvidia-smi -ac 1911,4004

and your set.

Which is wrong, because he swapped the core/mem. It should state nvidia-smi -ac 4004, 1911.
But on my 1060 it also does nothing. Supposedly -ac command overclocking works only on Maxwell cards.
Also I have no idea why he uses GPUPowerMizerMode=1?
Does not do a thing on my side.
Anyone had better luck?

Version v0013 is up with all member requested changes.  If you only mine ZEC; unless you want to use individual overclocks for each card this update is not necessary.

Change Log:
v0013 (current release)
  dummy plug is no longer required
  added ccminer (both tpruvot and sp-hash)
  added CUDA 8.0
  updated Claymore to 9.0
  installed Ubuntu updates
  oneBash changes:
    moved pool addresses and ports to the top section
    added individual card cc and mc OC
    added 1050 switch (use if you have 1050's in your rig)
    added LBC, DUAL_ETC_PASC  DUAL_ETC_LBC  DUAL_ETH_PASC  DUAL_ETH_LBC

Thanks for the update!
Suggestion for future version:
http://glances.readthedocs.io/en/stable/aoa/gpu.html
Currently the best monitoring tool for Linux, IMHO.

Greetings,
I am looking for a pool that pays BTC for ZEC mining.
I know about Nicehash miner but I would like to use EWBF miner.
Thanks.

You can also use EWBF mining NH.

But how?
They have zcash pool with ZEC payout, that I can see.
Am I missing something?
it is easy, read the fucking manual

Thanks for nothing.
