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.

Not worth dual mining on 1060/1070 imo. Rather save the power by running them at 60-65% TDP for ETH or 80-85% for Zec.

Good point. The only worth dual mining option I consider is Decred, I keep the good faith in the project. The marginal profit is very "marginal" ))

Got lucky in September with a couple of EVGA GTX1060 6GB cards with Samsung memory. One does +600 memory, the other does +800 for 23 and 24 MH/s on ETH.

I just added an EVGA GTX1060 3GB. Seems to be Hynix but overclocks well, so it's not so bad. It's doing 19.5 MH/s at +800 memory.

1060 is a bad dual mininer 1070 is a bitc better the best dual mining cards
that are worth itcto run dual are rx cards and fury

I got a 3gb gigabyte WF2OC with Hynix. Check on the serial number should start with 16xx or 17xx. The first two digits is the year and XX is the week. The earlier batches of 2017 might still have micron or samsung but not the newer ones imo.

Gigabyte WF2OC, 2 units, SN starts with 17xx - both Hynix.
Purchased in Q3 2017.
It seems only mining edition of GTX1060 carry Samsung memory.

Palit gtx 1060 3gb @ 1974 gpu /+600 mem and I'm getting ~17 MH/s DaggerHashimoto ~832 MH/s Decred in dual mining.

What could be the reason for such low hashrate? Mining with NiceHash miner 2.1.0.2 beta.

Thanks for any help.

What memory do you have? I have a 1060 3gb with Hynix and Samsung, the Hynix card reaches 18Mh/s and Samsung 23.5 Mh/s on ETH alone. The memory plays a big role both cards have basically the same price but the Samsung one clearly is winning on nearly all the algorithms.

Thanks for quick answer.

Apparently they are Hynix... Damn it. I was hoping there were some settings to play with.

Before I dual mined ETH+DCR, but as I know Obelisk will release DCR and Sia Asic miner soon, so I'm still thinking to move to another coins: LBC and Pascal but have not considered yet.

where do i get actual clocks? gpuz?
here is my latest atempt with my galax gtx 1060 6gb hynix.

Yup gpu-z should do. Now check with +100 to +150 on core and see if you attain similar clocks on 19xx range.

The 1060 I have is from 1741 so late 2017 - quite surprising that it has samsung memory. I have a 1070 with samsung memory and that one is from late 2016. Maybe someone found some old memory stocks in the factory Cheesy

That's lucky of you.

Quote from: akuci on December 03, 2017, 02:26:42 PM

I just wonder with what kind of memory you get these cards when they can reach +1000. My Samsung cards cannot exceed +700 when mining ETH. Hynix cards cannot go above +450, +500 is like winning a gold medal. Maybe I do something wrong.

Actually Hynix can do +750 but they have pretty loose timings so it's not fruitful. They don't go past 20.5 even at +750 MHz on memory.

Why using driver 382.53?
They are the best? Now i have the last one drivers and they working fine

Hi preda, I'm just lazy on updating nvidia driver, and the SSD I used for testing is from another rig. There're few rigs I update to driver version 385.xx but the hashrate is mostly the same.
I heard that driver ver.373.06 is one of the best, but when using P106 mining card, I have to use later one.

Ok thanks... Because i have some hashrate drop idk the why
I would know if it's a driver problem or just mine

It's hard to buy more RX480 and RX580 now. So I purchase some P106-100 mining cards to test and really satisfy with the performances and I'm going to build a new mini farm with this card.
Basically each MSI P106-100 mining card costs around 251$ and average hashrate is about 25.1Mh/s.

The first quick test with 2 GPUs, test's duration: 16hrs: Power Limit: 65%, Core: +0, Mem: +950, average hashrate: 25.2Mh/s.

The second test with 8GPUs, test's duration: 86hrs: Power Limit: 65%, Core: +46, Mem: +740, average hashrate: 25.05Mh/s.

That +950 is impressive! I've managed +800 on my Asus Strx 6GB but never pushed it past that. Core I can get to about +225 with no issues.
