Mining ETH with 1060's: Ethminer OR Phoenix OR Claymore?

[mensa8409]

Hello,

I am still using some Nvidia 1060 6GB to mine Ethereum.
Which miner is currently the best to use for that cards?
1 and 2 years ago always ethminer was the fastest and (I think) without dev fee.

Did that change in the meanwhile? Is maybe Claymore or Phoenix or any other now faster?

I vote for ethminer maybe there was a lot of gaps between the result of the hashrate that will be generated by them all but i will choose ethereum miner. If there was another that even faster than it but that will give you a lot of difference in the result of the how much hashrate that you as your output from your GPU.

Claymore is the one I use and it has proven to be stable and lately a few days ago Claymore did publish his new version 14 of miner as a beta version and I think when he will make it available as stable will be the best miner as always at least for me.

That sounds to me, as you have never compared it to other miners.

For nvidia Phönixminer is the best. Highest hashrate, stable and lower devfee.

Do you have compared Hashrates of ethminer / Phoenix?
Does ethminer even have a dev fee?

I have compared it to Phoenix miner and seen no improvement from Phoenix miner over Claymore however this was a very long time ago and I don't know the quality of other miners now, at that time Claymore was better and I stayed with it up until today I use it to mine Ethereum.

Go with phoenix miner I already tested both claymore and phoenix miner it will gives you higher hashrate than claymore.
ETHminer is another miner but the hashrate is too low compared to claymore and phoenix miner for mining ETH.

Ethminer is a go for me and have been enjoying it though a friend of mine is using Claymore and he said it's pretty cool maybe I will try it out too to compare the best with the both of them

Yes, It has changed, ETHminer was the best but for sure, but the claymore is better than ethminer! I don't know about the phoneix because I did not try that ever, but some of my friends tried Phoenix and their experience was average! ethminer is like nostalgia to many, that's why I couldn't get out from that. But if you try the Claymore, it's perfect!
