Great thread, I have 7 of the 1060 FTW2 with 9GBPS memory coming -- If anyone out there has recommended settings for that specific card it would be appreciated. I'm going to try and read through all these pages tomorrow to see if someone already posted that specific info.

Let the picture speak for itself Smiley




First Miner - 192.168.2.101
MSI AfterBurner:
Core: +150
Mem: +500


Second Miner - 10.98.0.182
MSI AfterBurner:
Core: +100
Mem: +300


Both machines are completly identical in hardware.

nVidia 1060 6GB Inno3D - Single fan


Any opinions? Suggestions?

Seems to be a appropriate difference in the hashrate when considering the different memory clocks.
I find that your cards are running really hot for ETH mining. I dont even reach such temperatures when mining an Equihash coin. How did you setup the rig? Maybe cards are too close.

Indeed I have a problem with a temperatures.




This is how I got them.... With the nicehash back in the time I had even bigger temps 3-4 degrees extra.


First off set manual Fan curve in Afterburner and make sure "Auto" isnt selected.
My fan curve is such that around 70C the fans are running at 70-80%. For single card fans likes yours you might need 80% or higher at 70C.

On your GPUs settings I would recommend going higher on your memory clocks (+650-700) and core to 0 and then adjusting from there.
You gpu setup look good so no need to worry about that.

I stopped dual mining SIA

Would you recommend LBRY or PASC?

Does anyone have a pny gtx 1060 6gb just looking to see rates and power I have 1070 msi gaming and pny 1070 the msi hashes a little higher but uses more power my msi gaming 1060 6gb uses almost as much power as my pny 1070 so I'm looking at getting pny 1060 6gb or zotac 1060 6gb mini

I'm using 3Gb version from Evga and MSI, I get around 24MH/s (Samsung memory) for a power consumption between 75 and 85W (see signature)

1060 3gb 21mh/s eth, 260 sols zcash.

I don't know the brand (HP prebuilt) but I do know it has samsung memory. Currently running stock settings, suggestions for what I should use/mine?

it does 24.5 mh with calymore or ethminer

you can mine many coins with nvidia just use whattomine for know which is the most profitable for you

Using dstm-zcash miner OCing two 1060's one with 3gb and one with 6gb


1060 6gb does 342 sol Aug with dstm-zcash miner
1060 3gb does 307 to 310 sols dstm-zcash miner

ETH mining both do OC 24 MH i can't seem to get that any high for long and run stable. 24 MH seems like the sweet spot for 1060's no mater how much on board memory they have..
 and if i dual mine I'm impressed it doesn't lower the eth hash like it does on my on my AMD cards on the 1060 or any of my NV cards i own .

Is it possible to mine both ethereum and vertcoin?


if it is you would need a miner like Clay-more's etH miner to do it . and that miner what ever it is would need support added to do it .

Not possible with a single card, with a rig you can start 2 miners and  seperate the cards between them.

I need to decide btween a 1070, 1060 6GB and 470 8GB
I would rather choose AMD RX470 4GB.
You already have a nVidia GTX 1060 rig and some diversification would be welcome.
Performance-wise, there is barely any difference between 4GB and 8GB versions of RX470/RX570. Of all current algos, Dagger-Hashimoto uses the most VRAM - ~2.2 GB for ETH and ETC. I don't expect the DAG size of either to reach 4GB until Q1 2019.

Same as diversification of altcoins rigs of AMD and nvidia make sense. I also have different rigs and they mine different coins. There were times when I wished to have only nvidia and sometimes only AMD would have been nice.
In general i would nevertheless tend towards Nvidia and expand into that direction.

guys now there are plenty more profitable coins than eth dual mining or zcash or zec
Many coins of your list have been more profitable than ETH or ZEC during a certain 7-days time frame. Unless you sell right away what you mine, you might be down on both a BTC and USD basis vs ETH or ZEC.
I advise everyone to be responsible of his endorsements - I would certainly not mine Electroneum, BTG or BitcoinZ for ethical reasons.

I would generally advice to first mine well established coins like XMR, ETH and Zec. Collect some of these and maybe after that it is good to go for newer but already eastablished projects like Zen or ETC.
Only after this one should mine newly release coins.
Basically it is like a portfolio; you don’t want to bet all your money on one horse and you also don’t want to bet all your money on the new comers.

Just my view and with a GTX 1060 you can mine all of the above. XMR maybe during the hot summer days Smiley
it seems better not give preference what a one, and really better to put the rate for a few of horses and any coin can be successful.

I have an 8 card rig of 1060 6gb at the moment it runs so cool , uses low power and less work to get working than 470 , cheaper than 1070

i think ill just stick to those with those new 8 gpu board that can actually handle 12 1060s density should not be so bad
