GTX 1060 discussion thread

[mk4y]

Thanks for the answers allready! I got one more that caught my eyes 

6GB MSI GeForce GTX 1060 AERO ITX 6G OC Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16

Very tiny card which i like

Single fan cards tend to run hotter and have more fan noise (depending on your ambient temp) my two asus 1060's run 62 and 55c with 31 and 26 fan speed respectively. At 600+ memory clock, 60% power limit, +150 core clock. They are directly on the mobo so the hotter card is behind the second, hence the temp difference. Should be getting risers soon.

I decided for the Aero, they have Cashback also which makes it like 270€! Nice Deal!

I got a ASUS 1060 3GB and I have put it one of my old computers to do some ethereum mining as I dont use it for gaming as much nowadays. Been playing around with overclocking and so far I clocked the memory to +700 and it seems to be pretty stable. That helped we go from about 14mh/s to 19mh/s. Will clocking the core do me any good or should I just shy away from that and take down the power limit(I see alot of people turned it down to 60%?) to limit power cost?

Why do you only have 14 MH/s stock, thats a shame. You should have 19 MH/s stock and 22-23 overclocked.

[oytal]

Yeah I thought it was a bit low aswell compared to the results other miners got but I thought maybe its because I only have the 3GB version and alot of the 6GB one? But atleast I got it up to 19 with memoryclock now. Not planning to mine with this forever anyways. I'm going to buy a couple of GPU's soon for mining and put this one back into my gaming pc. And then eventually I'l be getting a 6-card rig if things go as planned.

The memory amount is not relevant for the hash rate but the memory performace, and here 3GB and 6GB cards are the same.

[oytal]

Alright thanks for the clarification. So memory amount is only important because of the DAG file? As I'm sure you can tell im very new to mining. Any idea what I should do with my core clock though, clock it up or just leave it at default?

Hi guys I have a gigabyte 1060, will be ok to put a EVGA 1060 to work together to mine?

i presume both are 1060 and will be no problem to put both connected together? what do you think?

Core clock is nothing to worry about until you up the memory clock and start to get problems. I raised my memory clock to +600 and needed to raise the core clock to +100 to compensate for fluctuations.

Download GPUz and fond out what memory you have. If its hynix then you wont be able to OC much, micron is better but samsung is best.

[oytal]

It's hynix :/

For those mining ethereum with claymore, do you guys mind posting your script?
My script is bare bones, just my address and pool address - nothing else.
My hashrates go up and down, they are not stable (a straight line) on the dashboard. I am wondering if I can get the performance to be more linear.

I have MSI GTX 1060 6gb overclocked at 600ghz mem and 0 CPU  (100 TPD)

[gt_addict]

I havent got anything else apart from the standard stuff thats on claymores thread.

TDP- 60%
Temp Limit-75c
Core Clock- +150
Memory Clock- +775
Fans- Auto (range from 25-35% speed)
Temps- 55c & 63c

Getting 23.05Mh ETH only.

[stinger42]

Noob question. When quoting hashrates ie ETHs are people going off their miner or their dashboard?

Ie with my MSI GTX 1060 Gaming x 6gb
Mining Pool Hub dashboard gives me 23.29 MH/s, looking at my miner it seems to be showing in the low 18 MH/s
I've slightly overclocked it at through afterburner Power limit 108, +140 Core clock +760

hashrates are great man, are you expecting more?
what's your 1060 model?

[ica7000]

Using NVos v16

Temp limit 80C
Core clock +200
Memory +800
Fans:  90%

Temp at around 64C to 68C

1060 6g blower. ASUS x4, 86mH to 87mH total (21 point something per card)

Tried NVos v17 but couldn't get it running.

I go off claymore screen. Dashboard shows sloghtly more.

Asus Dual 1060 6GB cant get anymore out of them. Hit 23.5 at +800 mem clock and started crahing even with core and power limit incareased. This is stable and drawing 182w at the wall on a platinum 520w psu. Got cables,pico, 1200w platinum server psu ready to go for expansion if i can justify more cards.

[preda]

I get 145/150 mh with 6x gtx 1060 3gb
+80% tdp
+100 core
+880 memory

[gt_addict]

Not bad. Im trying to keep the power consumption as low as possible as im mining at home and have to pay for the electricty at £0.13/kwh.

[rsup]

Does core clock actually help? I was under the impression that only memory speed helps.
