GTX 1060 discussion thread

[barlo357]

There's a video about a guy who mines with 1060. And he said he can only mine for 10 hours.

Cryptonight sp-mod does 600hash on the gtx 1060 with samsung memory

have you a link??

[candyiman]

Groestl Settings and hashes? anyone

Groestl Settings and hashes? anyone

Groestl or Myriad-Groestl ?

Groestl as written above

not myriad

[AlteregoX]

Can we have a little discussion about the crypto to mine?

What are you guys mining? I'm running ETH + SIA with small profits, thinking about moving to Vertcoin or Monero

[candleking]

Has anyone tried mining using the below cards?

1. ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1060 AMP Core Edition, 3GB, GDDR5, 192 bit
2. Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 Twin X2, 3GB, GDDR5, 192 bit
3. Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual 3GB GDDR5 192bit

I'm currently interested in building a rig and would like some opinions.

Thanks!

Tried to search on different topics and blogs and couldn't find exact results.

So, what is the hashrate of GTX 1060 on different algos? Especially on Ether.

Hi,
Asus turbo 1060 6g Samsung:
14:50:42 -> GPU0 24.246 Mh/s, GPU1 24.544 Mh/s, GPU2 24.581 Mh/s, GPU3 24.555 Mh/s, GPU4 24.550 Mh/s, GPU5 24.537 Mh/s
Temperature: 49-53C

Here's a chart that shows cost vs hashrate for different 3GB cards.
https://www.pyramidreviews.com/cryptocorner/mining-gpu-speed-and-price-comparison/ethereum-mining-speed-gpu-comparison-for-gtx1060-3gb/

Those 3 cards should mine about the same speed, but the Inno3d and Palit are usually way more expensive than the Zotac so they aren't as profitable to buy.

If you are buying cards these days, chances are they will come with Hynix memory, so mining Ethash won't be as profitable as mining Equihash.

[wxxyz]

Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP (Micron) 323Sols/s
using DSTM 0.5.3
Power Limit 85%
Temp Limit 75C (Average 65C on Open Air)
Core Clock +175
Mem Clock +650

Zotac GTX 1060 3GB AMP (Hynix) 298Sols/s
using DSTM 0.5.3
Power Limit 80%
Temp Limit 75C (Average 65C on Open Air)
Core Clock +144
Mem Clock +529

I was under the impression that memory isn't as critical on the Equihash algorithm (vs Ethash), but I see your settings are different for each - including your power limit.
Can you tell me how much power the Hynix card is using compared to the faster-hashing-Micron card?

Are they running about the same Sol/Watt?

I am inclined to go with the ZOTAC above the others (even though is 1-3% more expensive than the others where I live) howeve, I've heard they can get pretty hot. Is that so?

Cheaper is always better - the differences between manugacturers seems to be minimal.
The biggest difference is due to the memory being Samsung or Micron or Hynix.

That's the best I can do with this machine.
I have just bought the card, so I can return it and get any other one.
Is there any way I can make it better?

With Hynix memory, that's likely your max ability for Ethereum.
But for Equihash, it seems low. Try starting from stock 0 settings and start by upping the core clock. See if you can get it past +100 MHz without crashing while your mem is at 0

That was the highest setting for hynix card for me.
When i try increased the clock, the miner not stable.
Atm, i decrease the power limit to 65% to all card (3 GTX1060 6GB and 1 GTX1060 3GB), the Sols/w on 6GB is 3.75 Sols/w, and 3GB on 3.55 Sols/w.
All of them on 75-78 watt average.
Note : The 3 GTX1060 6GB are Micron chip and GTX1060 3GB is Hynix.

Here's a chart that shows cost vs hashrate for different 3GB cards.
https://www.pyramidreviews.com/cryptocorner/mining-gpu-speed-and-price-comparison/ethereum-mining-speed-gpu-comparison-for-gtx1060-3gb/

That article is irrelevant. You cannot know the exact type of memory installed on the GPU, but empirically.
I have 2 models from that list:
a Palit Dual GTX 1060 3GB, equipped with Samsung memory - about 20 MH/s stock, 23.8-24.6 MH/s overclocked (22.5 MH/s in the article)
a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1060 3GB, equipped with Hynix memory - 15.5 MH/s stock, struggles to get to 19.1 MH/s overclocked (25.2 MH/s in the article, assuming it's Samsung memory - a great result)

My 2 satoshis about hashrate:

Lyra2REv2 - 26 MH/s
Palit Dual GTX 1060 3GB AMP (Hynix)
Power Limit 100%
Core Clock 2050 MHz
Mem Clock 3007 MHz

Hshare - 7.9 MH/s
Palit Dual GTX 1060 3GB AMP (Hynix)
Power Limit 100%
Core Clock 1987 MHz
Mem Clock 3499 MHz

Ive been debating on getting a 1060 to compare rates to my 1070s I want to add some more cards and comparing the 1070s to my rx470/570s is crazy I'm always having a driver issue or something on my amd's but my 1070s have been running without any problems but at 400-450 a card it adds up quickly that's why I'm looking at 1060 and I believe I'll be getting a better deal going with the 1060 so my question is what cards are the best to go with thanks
