I'm mining with 6x Gigabyte Windforce OC 3GB (Samsung)

Runing them on:
TDP 67%
Temp 69c
Core -100
Memory +950

They seem stable so far keeping just above 25 Mh/s eth on claymore dual miner. I thiink it's not quite the sweetspot, but I like the consistent 150 Mh/s combined with total draw from the wall 560 watts. They also run quite cool - under 50c with 60-65% fan.

I was wondering if it's worth using different settings for auto-switching algos like a bit higher core and less memory as I notice equihash is also a good option according to my benchmarks in nicehash miner. Potentially more profitable from time to time, but these settings are far from ok for equi.

So any suggestions? Keep the good work on eth or sacrifice a bit for potential auto-switch profits?

Edit: Working full time so auto-switch is probably worth it.

Yes you will need core and a little memory for almost all other algo. I auto-switch and run my 1060s at core +100 memory +200. There are probably some algos which could be tuned individually but I'm lazy.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Same card but with slower Hynix memory is rock solid with nice hashrates in all algos at +140GPU/+540MEM/80%PL ... For a few algos you can even drop mem -300.

I am using a Gigabyte 6GB card with +205 clock offset and +1000 memory.  My card seems to be able to take anything for memory (Hynix), but 1000 is the limit for the nVidiaInspector tool I use to adjust frequencies.

My card is mostly stable with +230, but I get enough errors to throttle back and it's rock solid at +200 to +210, but for some reason I get best share results at +205.

I didn't say, but I have power limited to 70% instead of wide open, and I get better results using 80 watts instead of the 105-108 watts without tweaking it.   These numbers are from Orbmu2k's NVI tool, but I'll plug my Kill-a-Watt EZ at it soon enough.

I don't know what to think about my GTX 1060's: I had a generic / HP with 3GB that regularly got 23MH/s ETH, but my new 6GB Gigabyte card won't go over 21M.

Now, I am getting around 500MH/sec on my second coin XVG, which I was not doing on the 3GB card, but my ETH rate didn't change more than 1% lower.

Strange.  I suppose it's another "silicon lottery" phenom: this has Hynix VRAM, I had Samsung memory on the 3GB card that kept crapping out on me.

Play around with various coins until you're getting the most you can out of it (whattomine is a good source of info for that). The memory brand is the difference, but as DAGs grow the 3gb will eventually become limited in what it can mine while the 6gb will be more future proof...

sell them for profit. check the ram. change the miner. give them to the needy. mine something other than ethereum.

I bought 1060 yesterday. Guys can you share OC for MSI 1060 6gb armor OC memory type micron..
I can only get 19 mh/s for ethereum and 290 for zcash..
Hope someone can share a good settings to increase good hashrate for ethereum or zcash.. thanks. .

I just done reading and decided the setting of my 3 gtx 1060 6gb use Msi Afterburner

1x gtx 1060 6gb (micron) power limit 70, coreclock -400, memclock +602, Algo DaggerHashimoto(EthDcrMiner64), 23MH/s with temp 60 C

2x gtx 1060 6gb (hynix) power limit 80, coreclock +122, memclock +220, Algo Equihash(ewbf), 290 - 299 sol/s each, with temp 60 C

total earnings 46k satoshis/day
is this setting okay? Smiley
Thanks

I newly started mining on Zotac GTX 1060 6gb AMP Edition 7 days ago. it has Hynix inside and make me confused Huh.
tried with msi afterburner but it crashes or restarts nicehash excavator. so installed FireStorm and using it since 4 days with no problem.

ETH: Core: +150, Memory: +920, Power: 62%,  Temp: 60 max, Fan:80%, 20.7 Mhz/s (stable with nicehash, nanopool and Claymore)
could increase memory to +935 and power to 65, which increases more heat like; 70

Zcash: Core: +160 memory: 0, Power: 80%, Fan: 80% Temp: 66, 282-290 sol/s
i think speed depends on acceptance...
core can increase to +165. and power to 90% 300 sol/s with not profitable sol/w.

thinking to get one more card so any suggestions ? PNY 1060 6GB OC GAMING Edition or Gigabyte Windforce OC or MSI GTX 1060 6GB OC V2 ?

I have a EVGA 1060 GTX with 6 GB of RAM.

Eth - 24.5 RAM at 300
Equihash - 305 Sols - GPU at 200, RAM at 500
X17 - 5.5 Mhs - GPU at 225, RAM at 525

in order to get more sols you should oveclock your memory as well, not only core, good and pro[erlu overclocked gtx1060 can pus around 330-340 sol/s, which is about 10% more then you have

ETH mining at 20 Mh/s with that card is way low returns compared to Equihash.  Try +180-200 core +400-500 memory and 60-65% Power limit.  I got a Hynix 3gb that does 270 sol/s around those clocks with ~3.8 sol/w

Thinking about the latest Windows 10 problem with the OS eating 666MB of the VRAM and specifically with the issue on GTX1060 3MB cards -vs- Ethereum DAG stored in RAM, has anyone tried moving the card to something other than the primary? (PCI 0,0,0)

It seems like Windoze would only chew up the VRAM on the first card found, not every GPU it sees.  I don't have my 3GB 1060 online right now, so I can't test my theory.  I know that it's not helpful if you have multiple 3GB 1060s and nothing with 4GB or more.

Hello, can I set power limit to 80-85% to down temperature and get same hashrate ? I don`t care about power consumption (now I have 108-110 Watts per card). With this settings is stable.
When one or more cards hit 53-54 degrees, system is instable and I get "gpu clock are too low" (ethOS 1.2.9 bug). 
I need to increase core clock after I set power limit to 80% ?


GPU : 10 x MSI Aero GTX1060 6Gb ( Micron memory )
OS : ethOS
Power Limit : Default
Core Clock : +0
Memory Clock : +775
Fan : 85%
Temp : 45-50 degrees with 18 degrees ambient temp
Hashrate ETH : 23.6 - 24.10 mh/s

The extra few hundred mb vram is reserved/in use for the primary video yes. Windows is graphical OS. You can easily check vram allocated in gpuz for example
The rest no such reserve.
