GTX 1060 discussion thread

[lezanch]

Finally I've found my second GPU with Samsung memory onboard... Gigabyte GTX 1060 Xtreme 6GB. Now my mini rig works in this way

GPU0 - Gigabyte GTX 1060 Xtreme 6GB (Samsung)
Power: 65%
Temp Lim: 69°
Clock: -40
Memory: +950
Fan: auto

Mine 25.5 MH/s @68° - Stable


GPU1 - Gigabyte GTX1060 WF OC 3GB (Samsung)

Power: 66%
Temp Lim: 70°
Clock: -30
Memory: +950
Fan: Auto

Mine 25.2 MH/s @70° - Stable

Now I would like to reduce a little bit the temperature. In which way it is better? Any advice?

lezanch:
Do you use an open rig? Those temps seems really high. I'm between 45 and 55°C with an open air rig. Try to lower your clock, I'm using -200, it's more stable.

no.. for now a standard mid tower case... this hardware in at home, in my studio...

[klintistwood]

that might explain your temperatures, open air with or without additional fans is better for temperatures. Today I have opened the window in the room where the mining rig is sitting and I get all cards below 50°C.

On what Core intensive Algos have you reach the maximum Core clock *but stable

I havve on skunk +190

[TheHas]

For ethereum, touch over 24mhs at about 68 power usage target on msi afterburner with changes to mem clock.

25.5 MH/s stable

[winiets]

I have 18 cards nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
Im only getting about 22mh/s no matter what settings i use.
I was first mining at
power limit 80%
max temp 80
mem clock +550
core clock +0
they run at 64-68 C

Now i use them at:
power limit 65%
max temp 80
mem clock +550
Core clock +150
Fan speed 90%
now they run at 67-72 C
Still i get about 22 mh/s each card.
The power usage did go down tough.
They use about 1650 watt. total.

What are the setting you use when getting 25 mh/s stable?

[klintistwood]

do you use linux or windows? If you can use nvidia-smi, you should be able to see if your changes are taken into account

[midvoc]

Hey mate - head over to https://whattomine.com/ and put your card in (1060).

The website shows you what your hash rate and power consumption is for loads of different algorithms.

Seriously try it - I have a 6Gb 1060 zotac btw.

Good luck!

Guys would you recommend solo or dual mining? Not sure if i should mine DCR also

What type of RAM you have on your cards, Samsung or other?
For my MSI Aero 1060 6gb with Samsung, these were the afterburner settings and the averaged results. The power limit apparently differ from maker to maker. Some get good results with 50%. It seems that underpowering decrease the hash rate quite a bit with everything else the same. On the other hand, once the card reached its max, giving more power has no further effect. For me, playing with the core speed had no effet pro or con, however, I'm doing Eth only mining. ~950 mem speed, the cards go over 25. However, you can start to experience issues on the long run.

Finally, got 5 x 1060 6 go EVGA cards installed with 9 go of memory clock instead of the usual 6 go. ( All samsungs )

I'll try some dual mining later.

Can someone share their hashrates with their 1060 card while dual mining ? I want to compare their hashrates.

Thx.

well i stopped dual mine cause 24.5mh eth is better than dual mine with 1060 3gb doing if i remember well 20mh eth/200mh dcr
the only one miner very fast was nicehash miner 2 nvidia version that was allowing to do with 6x 1060 3gb 131mh eth+3.1gh dcr doing great results with his internal excavator miner.
now with the new 2.0.1.4 version they removed dagger algo and dual mining for all 3gb cards which i am stuck in old version.
calymore max did with 6x 1060 3gb was 129mh + 2.6gh decred

Hi,

Anyone had problem with running 6x1060 gtx? When i am running 5x it's running without problems. But with 6 rig just keeps restarting and droping one pci slot. Maybe i should try to modify pci bus lane to 128 or set to gen1?

[toptek]

recap  i got my 1060 3gb card doing

overclocking
 
Zec 300 sol stable
eth 24 MH stable

1060 6gb
eth 25 mh stable but l leave it at 24 mH for other reasons .
Zec 312 to 320 sol stable


1070 haven't played with it yet just bought it .. so far

normal stock setting

eth 26 MH

ZEC  432 sol

overclocking that i tried so far

1070
eth  31 mh  
32 MH makes it crash.
zec 490 sol.

dual mine on gtx 1060 3gb means reducing hash rate for ETH, it's not such a good deal.

[quochuan29]

My cards not samsung ram so it only 19.x so said

What about 6gb?
