Has anyone tried flashing a P106 firmware onto a standard 1060?
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Hey guys, I'm mining neoscrypt with 1060 6gb, so far ive been getting 750-800 khs with 110 core 100 mem and 90 pwl oc settings. What clocks are recommended on neoscrypt for 1060s? I've heard people are getting close to 900 with those.


I cant do more than 600 how you do 750?? Which miner?

Im using ccminer Klaust Cuda 9 newest version

FYI, algo's like neoscrypt (most besides eth) don't really use the memory. You can put it -200 and get the same hash rate.  It's all about the core clocks!

And what would be best for core OC for neoscrypt?  
Seems my equihash and cryptonight setting  of  TDP 60 or 55 ,  +100 core (and even +80) crashes on the 1060 3gb and 6 gb when on neoscrypt.

Thanks.

Start without a core mod setting and scale up in increments of 5-10. When you first hit instability, isolate which card is causing it and lock it at 5-10 below where you are and keep going until you've got all your cards running stably at the peak performance.

I have not actually messed with Neoscrypt much (I'm too energy conscious for the higher algos), that's just how I work with 1060s in general. I use Ethos, so I'm doing all the adjustments in the local.conf file, YMMV of course. If you are also using Ethos, if you reboot before you start testing, you should be able to just do sudo ethos-overclock to test new settings, at least for the first 15 minutes or so, can't remember what the time cut off is.

Thank you. Appreciate the answer.
Will see if I can find time to play around with it.

question, anyone had problem with hynix memory? where we can only boost until 18,5mh? prettly lame Sad

Yeah i got a batch with Hynix aswell around 18.5-19.20 mh.. My Samsungs are doing around 23 mh  guess i didn´t hit the silicon lottery this time Sad.

I've got 3 1060s all verified to have Samsung memory. 2 of them max out at 20 mH/s the other at 24. The 24 is a SSC and the other 2 or FTW2.

Aww :/, thats not so good. Would think if they had samsung they would be pushing 23

Do you refer Baikal Giant B (multi algo) or Antminer A3 (SIA only)? I tried to find out when Baikal should have shipped, found nothing. Could you comment on "next week"?
Baikal Giant B supports all dual algos.

1050ti cards are more available than 1060 cards and cheaper. Here is the way I look at it

1060 is about 2x the performace at about 2x the cost
1.4-1.7x performance-wise. If the cost advantage (YMMV) outweighs the performance and you have the possibility hook 8+ 1050Ti onto a rig, it may be well worth it.

Yeah, the GTX 1050 Ti isn't quite the useless door stop people make it out to be. Here are some of my benchmarks along with those of the ASUS Dual 3GB 1060 for comparison (and to stay on topic):

Equihash - 190 vs 305 - 1060 is 1.6x faster (dstm 0.5.6)
Neoscrypt - 460 vs 650 - 1060 is 1.4x faster (ccminer-klaust)
Lyra2rev2 - 14.8 vs 22.4 - 1060 is 1.5x faster (ccminer-klaust)
Cryptonight - lol, don't waste your Nvidia cards on this algo (385 vs. 485, in case you are a stubborn cuss, using xmr-stak)
Ethash - lol again, but 13.4 vs 21.9, so 1060 is 1.6x faster (claymore dual 10.3)

5x 1060 6gb rig minig 122.2 mh on Ethash algo. Average 83W power draw for each card.

2 of them samsung memory each doing 25.1mh
3 of them micron memory, 2 of them doing 23.7mh other one 24.3mh.

With this performance is it worth mining ethash or you'd still recommend equihash algo?

If you can get those kind of numbers out of your 1060's then by all means mine ethash with them; that's fairly close to an RX 570 with modded BIOS loaded.

Got Two ASUS GTX 1060 Mini 3GB these days, one Samsung, 1 Hynix.
Samsung doing 18.x at stock speeds, Hynix doing 14.x at stock. So if you get a Hynix card, get rid of it.
Samsung cheap very good for acceleration, hynix not bad < but  i dont know how  will be with micron.

No, that's only true for Ethash; Hynix memory does just fine with Equihash, Neoscrypt and Lyra2rev2. All of my 1060 (so far - got 2 more coming in) have Hynix memory; see my benchmarks above.

Does anyone know if I will be able to run 8x 1060 6gb on a Corsair hx850 v2 PSU? I have 6 running on that PSU now without issues, drawing around 540 watts at the wall @ 64% TDP. So I figured that two extra cards shouldn't be a problem?

If you're keeping the cards running with that low a draw, then sure. But it may limit future choices (like mining neoscrypt, or expanding/upgrading cards/etc). I have 8 1060s running on a 1200W PSU and they never top 1000W, usually draw a little over 800W depending on my settings...

But yeah, if it's a gold or better PSU and you are running a constant draw below 680W or so, you should have no problem with that PSU.

Thanks for your answer. Maybe I check what I get on equihash too in case to know.

Definitely - Nvidia cards have an advantage on Equihash (Zcash, Zclassic, Zencash, Hush, etc.) and Lyra2rev2 (aka Lyra2v2, Vertcoin and Monacoin are the only prominent examples I can think of) so it makes sense to use them on those algos.
