A very bad GPU 😡

[HashingTower]

I have a maxsun gtx1660 that does nothing over 20MH per second, I mean no matter what config I use - /+ or just simple OC this hashrate won't go over and the GPU also gets hotter than every other 1660s I own, around 66°C while others are doing 53°C max, what could be wrong??

From the people I know that use Maxsun products they say they are really good products although they admit they are hotter than other brands so their cooling isn't the most perfect one out there.However about the hash rate I don't know what it could be,most probably Maxsun use a memory chip of their own but you should check with GPU-Z which memory chip they are using and if they are using a brand other than Samsung,Hynix,Micron or Elpida this is probably the cause of the lower hash rate you are getting.

micron GDDR5X low mh

gtx1660 not very good option for mining. get 1660s or 1660ti

[anu1908]

a difference of 2 mh/s doesn't sound too bad, should be within margin of error or you got a bad silicon. that being said, a chinese aib is famous for its bad cooling solution and lack of features (slightly less powerful), so the temp doesn't sound that alarming. if you want to buy chinese aibs card, i think you should look at colorful. a lot of reviewers that i know of seems to check them more regularly compared to other vendors' card.

You are damn wrong, I have a rig with only 1660, I will drop the Hashrate I'm getting with each cards

1. Galax 25MH @ 47watt ( Samsung )
2. Asus 1660  24.67MH @ 60 watt ( Samsung )
3. Gigabyte 25.6MH @ 54watt (hynix)
4. Zotac 26MH @ 57watt (hynix)
5. MSI 25MH @ 56 watt ( hynix )

Silicon lottery wins on that Galax GPU, really impressive  so I'm guessing that maxsun is just a victim of poor silicon lottery lol, I think OP should try hiveOS there are others using this GPU and their settings are available, just try them out one after the other

True, colorful GPUs are on par with brands like MSI, Asus and others, I have a colorful rtx3060 that's doing 50+MH on Ethereum mining right now and it's cooling under 56°C I think this is the best brand from China till this day

[TheMimic1]

The 1660 gives approx 22MH/s. Some cards perform bit lower than the expected MH/s irrespective of whatever OC settings. We have to remember that same brand GPU of same model with same memory chip and batch number performs differently.

There are gtx1660 graphic cards that do 27MH using Trex absolute core clock settings but all the same it's all about silicon lottery but the minimum I've seen are 24MH to 25MH if yours is getting 22MH it's the silicon or you don't get the proper clocking

Where is this coming from?  I have some 1660 bought from China simply because they are cheaper, got them for 350$ each and they do 26MH mining Ethereum, what is your PC settings cos that's what stoping many from reach 25/26MH on this cards

If you have multiple GPUs at work you will understand that every MegaHash matters, even if it's 1MH calculate that in 10 places it's extra 10MH for you so yes every MH matters, I'm suspecting the GPU to be a poorly built from China but honestly I've heard good stuffs about MAXSUN graphic cards don't know why this one sucks

If you do not want to write your settings and system, then it is very difficult to tell what is wrong.
The latest video card is always hot, and in a rig of 5-6 video cards the temperature difference between the first and the last video card can be 5-7 degrees Celsius.
The temperature can be lowered by additional cooling, but your settings are unknown.

Did you inspect the ratings of you power supply? If you're using the generic psu there's a very big difference if we're going to run it with true rating one.
Cooling system also work out for this one, you should check the hardware side before we can come up with definite conclusions about defects.
One last thing, you should consult from store where you but that bad gpu; it could be having factory defects that needs their warranty.

Ahhh how many times im telling this. you are happy with 25mhs because profit is good right now. Also 350 for that card too expensive. I bought 10 rx 480 8g for 600$+34$ shipping. which is doing solid 30-32mhs. im talking about 10 CARDS for 600$.
You will how happy you are when you will start seeing 25mhs=0.2$

Funny is that they brag about 25 mhs on a 600 usd gpu ehhe, last year a rx 580 was 100 usd and gave 32mhs, gpu from 2016, I guess trolls like to buy things when everybody wants to buy and trust me they will sell when everybody starts selling like crazy and we will see second hand 3070 and 3060ti non lhr around 250 usd next year.

Also, many will say next year "i did roi but could not continue mining because profit was negative, so I had to sell my gpu in which I bought for 600 usd for 100 usd", meaning, they did not gain anything in the end plus imagine if they have not sold their coins, that was a double loss ehhe and all the hassle and everything was for nothing.

Exactly. Im not buying anything im not in hurry. if gpus are expensive i will buy coins instead, i bought btc at 36k which made more profit than mining in 20days.The whales or who ever controls this market they are very smart people they know our fear and greed.

I think 1660 is one of the best options for mining today, and 20 MH/s is not very bad, it is visible maybe you want a lot from the card, given that you wrote the norm for this card.Try updating the drivers to the latest version, although I think you did it.

Ofcourse choice is people. i prefer rx 4xx-5xx and rx 5600 rx 5700 loving them. I forgot along time ago with hassles with gtx 1060. for me gtx 1660 is nearly same with 1060. ti and super has gddr6 memory thats why i recomennded get one of those.

The reason why I love them gtx1660 is because of 46-50watt power draw using Trex absolute core clock settings, it works perfectly well and this GPU should not be compared to gtx1060 because 1060 draws more power, roughly 70 to 80watts, their hashrates is same too, 20mh to 26mh depend on silicon luck

To you they aren't interesting anymore, for me it's about the returns as I got this cards at a very cheap price from China, I'm glad I invested money in them and that's 125MH mate, the same hashrate that you can get from a RTX3090, how is this not freaking interesting? And for the fact that I pay less for the GPUs?
