GTX 1060 discussion thread

But not with Hynix or do you have better results with Hynix?
Whether I run the cards with 1507 or 1911 core makes no difference in Mh/s, so I prefer to fix them at 0.8V and 1709 Mhz to have lowest power consumption.

using claymore dual mining i get 22.5mhs

solo with new enhanced ethminer 25mhs

using ASUS dual oc 6gb

Before ordering cards, is there any way to tell which brands/medels have Samsung memory vs Hynix? Brands like Zotac and PNY seem to be based on luck. Right now, I'm looking at Gigabyte and Asus, which seem to be consistently Samsung.

Thoughts?

As ive said numerous times in this thread. Ive got Asus cards and have Micron memory. But i have asked the same question (made a new thread) and basically it is pot luck. I even emailed MSI and asked and they said it could be any of them on there cards.

Even getting a card with Samsung memory does not necessarily mean that you got a "good" card. For example I have two Gainward GTX 1060 6GB, both Samsung.
Both do ~450 H/s stock in XMR. With memory overclocked +800, one does 540 H/s while the other one hardly gets the 500 H/s. This means although they both have Samsung and running the same memory speed, they yield different results.

To conclude, you cannot say that a certain card, memory type or overclock will guarantee a certain speed. It totally depends on the card, maybe memory have different timings, moreover you can't really say whether the GTX 1060 ECC is already eating up some of your overclock until you do lots of tests with different speeds. Maybe its dfferent with ETH, but with XMR, it's like that obviously.

Sorry to bother but i find Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming Gv-N1060G1GAMING-6Gd REV2 clocked at 1847 do you think its better tham msi x gaming 6?

[hell696969]

Mine got 19 straight out of the box but 23 with minor OC

[Phobius]

~19 on stock settings.
~25 on ethminer-0.11.0rc1 with 75% power limit, +200 core and +900 memory in afterburner.
Im on gigabyte 1060 6gb windforce edition.

Gigabyte builds his 1060 with Samsung or Hynix... its a gamble at the moment.

Samsung ~19-23mh
Hynix ~15-18

I've got Samsung on mine, OCing memory to 950 is quite safe with +200 core

[Extornia]

MSI P106 at 25.15MH/s

I own both versions
Samsung 4700Mhz rock solid
Hynix only 4250Mhz stable

My experience running a bunch of different 1060's in some 8gpu rigs:

Generally if they have Samsung ram they can be clocked to +800-950 on the RAM depending on cooling. Max out around 23mh/s stable.
Micron RAM seems to max around +150-300 depending on cooling. Max out around 20mh/s stable.

Also some of the best cards I have are the shorty single-fan cards from EVGA. If you get the ones that don't have a cheap flower cooler, they are just as good as the full size card except maybe a bit less cooling area/airflow.

With the new optimised ethminer / genoil binary I'm getting 151MH (25MH ea) off of 6 x Gigabyte 1060 3Gb cards.

5 cards at 850 Mem clock and 1 pain in the arse runt card at 450 Mem clock cause its a pussy and crashes at anything over 450.

All samsung ram

On Claymore 9.2 I was getting 136MH  so I think the extra 15MH on Ethminer is worth it even though it doesnt have any crash/hang detect and miner restart option.

I got  MSI GTX1060 3g OCV， production 2017/06.
Got 15MH ~< 16MH
Hynix VRAM
This MSI card fucks!
I have no ideal to improve hash rate.
does any bios updated?

What are your afterburner settings?  How many cards you running? whats your rigs config /  PSU etc?

I got 4 cards.
afterburner got ~18MH with +500 mem each one.
+550 unstable, +600 crashed.
1500w PSU. Win10 x64.

Testing the claymore ETH only -mode 1
and the nicehash too... all got poor hashrate.
Orz..

I have 48 1060 running at 80w/+0 core/+1200mem.
I might decrease the mem OC as i'm thinking it could be a bit too much for 24/7... What do you think ?

How? Wich cards are you using? What hashrate do you get?

Hi guys, I already have my first miner working with 5 gpu EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming 6GB single fan but I'm newb do not know how to optimize the mine with msi afterburner, Does anyone have a good afterburner msi configuration for zcash (zec miner software) with these gpu https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6161-KR/dp/B01IPVSGEC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1497490937&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+geforce+gtx+1060+6gb&linkCode=sl1&tag=330ab-20&linkId=b5400193c94d4385991ad1cbadf55b65
I need a stable configuration, not the maximum but unstable, thanks.
