What is your Favorite 1060 3gb cards?
Galax 1070 EXOC SNPR - Micron
EVGA 1060 SSC - Hynix (damn)
EVGA 1060 SSC - Hynix (damn)
got a few zotac gtx 1060 3gb mini
two turned out to be samsung
one is hynix
and one is micron
samsung is always five to ten percent better than the rest
Is it these the ones you got mate? Zotac GeForce GTX1060 3GB (ZT-P10610A-10L)

Just wanted to mention that SOME of the GTX 1060 3GB cards in these desktops have samsung memory:

These MUST be running the 9gbps samsung memory because I maxed out MSI afterburner at +1000 on the memory and they were hashing at nearly (24.7) 25 Mh/s while dualmining sia at 246 Mh/s.
25 Mh/s is insane for a 3GB card, I will investigate overclocking the memory higher if possible. They could do 25+ even 26 if they overclock even more!

+1000mhz on the memory is pushing it. Normally +600-700 is a typical safety limit, since pushing the memory clock too far can start to damage the hardware.
I haven't got a single card with samsung memory since June. Bought over 30 different 1060 cards since then,

I don't think P106 mining cards are worth it at the current price points, especially for small-time miners who want their hardware to hold its value better.
It's also hard for us to know if chip manufacturers are just scraping the bottom of the bucket for components when it comes to the mining hardware. Perhaps the mining cards get the ones that aren't quite up-to-spec for the normal products. The shorter warranty period, while explainable with the manufacturers having knowledge that the user will almost definitely push the cards by pegging them 24/7, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either.
Lastly, I don't think any 3GB dedicated mining cards based on the 1060 are around, so this is somewhat off-topic.

Why not consider the p106 miner cards? At least you don't play memory chip lottery!
yes but the card becomes more or less useless for resale once you decide not to mine.

Do you mean that p106 always come with samsung memory chip?
no he means they are cards made for mining by that i mean they are set up for mining so no guessing what you have, as far i as i know all the 1060 use the p106 board or all mine do . and mine are not mining cards.
This will give you all the info you need for AMD Or NV cards .

It is a bad news if all new GPU with hynix but not samsung 
I guess hynix must be cheaper than samsung, that's the reason no more samsung nowadays? Anyway, I will go to IT store and check if samsung still available tomorrow.

Got 8 Gigabyte GeForce GT N1060WF2OC 3GD 1060 Graphics Card – Black from different vendors, all Hynix 
and how about the hynix performed?
Ethash:
Samsung 18-19MH/s / 23MH/s @ 4700MHz
Hynix 15MH/s / 18 MH/s @ 4250MHz
card with samsung for some reason does 280 ~ sol/s while hynix does arround 265 sol/s
You have to increase the PowerLimit to 70+ to achieve it.
You will achieve more if you max up the PowerLimit.
How to check which of these chips your cards has ?
have 3 1060s all do around 21mhs on eth on slight over clock(lets just say +40 core +300 memory )
have 3 1060s all do around 21mhs on eth on slight over clock(lets just say +40 core +300 memory )
GPU-Z is a common tool that will give you this information.
Not all 3GB 1060s can hit 21Mh/s. In fact, I would go so far as to say that many don't, especially seeing the typical performance of cards with Hynix memory. (Granted, overclocking abilities vary unit-by-unit.) However, I would not purchase new cards expecting much better than 19Mh/s on ETH. (Zcash is a good fit for these cards.)

It looks like the PowerColor RX 480 and RX 580 are coming back in stock in Europe.
I think this is a better option for now instead of the GTX 1060 with low hashrate because of the Hynix memory.

Bought 6x ASUS Dual GTX 1060 3GB 9/6/17, all Hynix.
Bought 6x Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB 8/30/17, all Micron
Bought 6x Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB 8/30/17, all Micron
So all the cards are overpriced now because of the low hashrate. Let's hope the price of the GTX 1060 will drop to €150 or something like that.
Also I think there will be a lot of returns in all shops. When you can buy them for a good price it's still interesting to build a 12 GPU rig with Hynix cards.
