Up above the world so high, miners with the same graphics card getting well over 1MH/s - I've only tried a few algorithms so far, mainly Scrypt and Cryptonight, and a few others my minors supported and I got roughly the same Kh/s every time - I'll try out Ethereum and see if I get anywhere close to a megahash, but it would be pretty sucky to get 30 Megahashes in one currency, and 550 kh/s in another, and sounds almost impossible without interfering with your PC's resources?

Edit: Just started mining Ethereum and I understand what you meant by they're different, I haven't done any config changes (yet) but I'm getting roughly 18 MH/s

So now that we've got that cleared - carrying on with this threads base theme, what are your hashrates when mining Scrypt / Cryptonight?

I've tried MRX, Zcash, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dashcoin, Dash, FNC and possibly other currencies, they're a mix of algorithms and I get pretty much the same kh/s for all of them. I haven't tried Ethereum yet, but I will tomorrow (3am here) but I highly doubt it'll be anywhere close to 30MH, there are differences between algorithms but for most it's not a 29.5 Megahash difference

Edit: I started mining Ethereum, I now understand what you mean - I'm getting 18 Mh/s without any config changes, thanks for the help 

I have a GTX 1060 6GB, I'm getting 560 h/s MAX (any more and I get ye old CPU does not validate) I have some more details about my rig in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1739438.new#new - I think there's some sort of far away hidden setting I must've enabled that just made my GPU about 100x weaker (though it runs games amazingly, so I don't understand why mining is so bad?) If someone could tell me exactly how I managed to mess up so badly that I get 500 h/s on a card that's supposed to get 1+ megahash per second, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yo, thanks for the response. I updated CCminer and it boosted me to around 300-450 H/s - but it's also a lot laggier than the old version - according to task manager it uses next to no resources but there's very noticeable lag?

I looked into Zcash but I couldn't find any Pay Per Share pools for it, and I don't normally mine long enough for the regular pools to pay me.


What I don't understand is that other miners reported that this graphics card had hashrates in the Mh/s https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4rvdsu/gtx1060_ethereum_hashrate_estimate/  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1575547.0  - Can anyone let me know as to why my hashrates are so low when miners with the same card easily break 1 Mh/s?

My full specs are:
16GB Ram

Gigabyte B150M-D3H-CF Motherboard
Intel Core i5 6600 CPU 3.30GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Windows 10 64 bit

Which do you think I'd profit more from mining, MRX or Ethereum? Or is there some other cryptocurrency I should look at? Like I said I mostly leave miners on in the background, but if I really am missing out on that many kh/s then I'd like to fix it.

It's very possible that I'm missing something obvious and I'm getting the right hashrate though.

Thanks for the help thus far.

Hello everyone - so I have a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, it isn't a mining rig it's my gaming PC, I started mining two-three days ago on and off using my 1060 rather than my i5 - I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a few things. I've seen people post their hashrates on these forums who have older graphics cards than me (750's and what not) and get more than 2-3x my hashrate, so I'm assuming i'm doing *something* wrong. I need to clarify I am not exactly a hardware enthusiast I had mates help me build this PC, but I'm pretty sure I should be getting higher hashrates. NOTE: I haven't touched overclocking (nor would I care to tbh)

I've been mainly mining MXR(CCminer CRYPTONIGHT 2014-9-26), Litetcoin(CUDAminer 2014-2-28), and dabbling in a few other currencies, I've only been GPU mining, and haven't used my CPU for anything other than chipping in on CUDAminer - I'll post screenshots of my hashrates and my config below:


Depending on my -l settings I get different hasrates, but they always cap out above 570+ and I get the error


The autotune also never goes above 560.  At 560 my temperatures start to rise to around 70c, nothing below 75% of stock fanspeed keeps it from rising (so in theory I probably don't even want to go above 560 kh/s)
This is my config " cudaminer   -l t30x16 -H 1 -i 1 -o stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 -u xxx -p yyy"
This is a list of -l settings I swap out often to get a roughly stable specific rate.
T6X12 = 240
K6X9 = 290
K12X5 = 310
K23X7 = 350
T24X6 = 370
K19X7 = 380
T7X29 = 440
T8X31 = 480
T18X25 = 500
T19X32 = 530
T30x16 = 560

I've messed around with all kinds of settings for CUDAminer but I still can't get it above 560 kh/s with my GTX 1060GB (with out the error) even though I've seen (arguably) weaker cards go 1000kh/s+

I can do a little customization with CCminer but I mostly just let it autotune, however I was never able to get it past 560kh/s either. On autotune settings my temperatures are acceptable around mid 60c with stock fan speeds around to 50-60%
ccminer -o stratum+tcp://fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com:45590 -u yyy -p xxx


The only idea I can come up with as to why my hashrate is so disappointing is that I'm somehow limiting my GPU in some far away hidden setting, as I said, I am not a hardware guy so maybe I simply have a weaker GPU than I thought, but I'd still like to hear some more knowledgeable voices about it.

With these hashrates I make a decent amount of coins, mining a few hours a day then leaving my PC on other night, but I can't help but feel I'm missing out on hashrates considering this GPU is so powerful in game.

This is my first post on this website,  I apologies for any ignorance.

Any wisdom offered is appreciated.
