Hey mate - head over to https://whattomine.com/ and put your card in (1060).
The website shows you what your hash rate and power consumption is for loads of different algorithms.
Seriously try it - I have a 6Gb 1060 zotac btw.
Good luck!
Regards

do you use linux or windows? If you can use nvidia-smi, you should be able to see if your changes are taken into account
I have 18 cards nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
Im only getting about 22mh/s no matter what settings i use.
I was first mining at
power limit 80%
max temp 80
mem clock +550
core clock +0
they run at 64-68 C
Now i use them at:
power limit 65%
max temp 80
mem clock +550
Core clock +150
Fan speed 90%
now they run at 67-72 C
Still i get about 22 mh/s each card.
The power usage did go down tough.
They use about 1650 watt. total.
What are the setting you use when getting 25 mh/s stable?

25.5 MH/s stable
For ethereum, touch over 24mhs at about 68 power usage target on msi afterburner with changes to mem clock.
On what Core intensive Algos have you reach the maximum Core clock *but stable
I havve on skunk +190

that might explain your temperatures, open air with or without additional fans is better for temperatures. Today I have opened the window in the room where the mining rig is sitting and I get all cards below 50°C.
lezanch:
Do you use an open rig? Those temps seems really high. I'm between 45 and 55°C with an open air rig. Try to lower your clock, I'm using -200, it's more stable.

no.. for now a standard mid tower case... this hardware in at home, in my studio...

Finally I've found my second GPU with Samsung memory onboard... Gigabyte GTX 1060 Xtreme 6GB. Now my mini rig works in this way
GPU0 - Gigabyte GTX 1060 Xtreme 6GB (Samsung)
Power: 65%
Temp Lim: 69°
Clock: -40
Memory: +950
Fan: auto
Mine 25.5 MH/s @68° - Stable
GPU1 - Gigabyte GTX1060 WF OC 3GB (Samsung)
Power: 66%
Temp Lim: 70°
Clock: -30
Memory: +950
Fan: Auto
Mine 25.2 MH/s @70° - Stable
Now I would like to reduce a little bit the temperature. In which way it is better? Any advice?

palit dual 3 gb 9885khs x11 with +100 frequency +200 mem!
What's the reason to mine x11 9mh when for a good speed need some gigahash in x11?
You meant x11 ghost?
I'm getting below than average mining hash rates with XRM, any advice to increase the hash rate? (currently mining on Ubuntu)

did you check your logs ? Seems like an OC issue. I optimized my cards one by one because if you push them all at the same level you'll never understand which one is causing the issue. It takes more time but at least you can pinpoint the problem.
Hi guys.
I have problem with 1060gtx and i dont know what to try anymore. I am mining on dual rig 12x1060gtx. Both rigs runnnig on msi z270apro.
PSU - corsair hx1200i and m2 cooler master 1000w. I was running first rig in windows and was getting really hard time to find it stable with different cards. Gigabayte g1 oc edition, dual asus non oc and 4x kfa exoc. Find it stable for 4 days +800 gigabyte samsung memory and +400 on other cards (micron).
Recently bought 6x zotac bulk edition and changed os to simplemining. Clocked cards out of box to +200 core and +1200 mem. Everything was stable for one day and now when i try it cant last for hour or so i rig restarts. Same hapening with other rig. No invalid shares, hash-s are stable but rigs keeps restarting even on default clocks.
Hope that someone had similar problem and can help me.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks Pendra & Shavill, that means that the GTX 1060 still have a nice future and price is more or less back to "normal".
Guys all 1060 3gb or 6gb just with +700 memori and tdp 65% do 24.5 mh in ethhash just with good memory tho like Samsung.
Thanks for sharing, I'm curious about ETH hashrate too if you can test it.
Didn't manage to run it, but I think it will be around 18.5 MH/s without manual OC.
Forgot to mention, my GPU is MSI ARMOR, core clock is 1900-1940 during mining (out of box speed), while tdp is 70-75%, temperature is 65-69 degress, ambient temperature is around 23.
Overall is seems to be 66% of GTX 1070 while being also 66% of it's price. So I would recommend to pick 1070 in most cases.
I run a couple rigs, one with 1060 3g and one with 1060 OC 6g and a couple 1070. The 1070's do run about 30% better rates, however, they also suck more juice at the wall, which translates into more heat and cost. I'd rather not pay for a PC heater thanks.
Right now the most efficient and cost-effective rig (people are gonna be hatin' I'm sure) are EVGA 1060 OC 6g single fan. A 6x rig will churn out 140mh/s+ while running at 68c and drawing only 500w at the wall. THAT is not bad for a cheap (never thought I'd call a $270 card cheap) card.
Mining Eth (power between 60-65%, core 0, memory clock +400-600 depending on GPU)
ALL EVGA
1060 3g 18mh/s
1060 OC 6g 22.5-24 mh/s
PNY 1070 OC Gaming 32.5 mh/s
Biostar BTC 250 MoBo, 8g, SSD, Celeron, EVGA 850 G2 Gold... cheap cheap cheap, room for 8 gpu's on that PSU BTW
Hint: Cheap out on everything but the PSU. Cheap PSU can blow the entire rig or worse... burn your house down.
cheers
Hi guys,
Anyone with 1060 Gigabyte windforce OC 6G here?
I got 6 of them in my rig. Hynix memory
I'm pulling 1700-1750 sols on Zcash out of the box. do you have settings to get better hashrate?
Tried eth but i can't OC the cards more than mem + 500 or miner crashes.
I was getting 15,5Mh out of the box, 18,8Mh with core-200 mem+500 but even then it's not stable. i get hashrate drops and crashes. anyone had the same issue? got a solution?
Don't change your core clock, and especially not -200. The best stable I got underclocking the core was about -75. I've abandoned that entirely. Try keeping the core at 0, power at 65, and start at +500 on the memory clock as you have it now. Then run for a bit, and try adding +20 until you start becoming unstable.Anyone with 1060 Gigabyte windforce OC 6G here?

You'll save on juice and should be able to get them above 22mh. All rigs are different, but 18 on a 6g of any flavor is really low.
Is there any difference between EVGA GTX 1060 6GB single fan and the same "Superclocked" version? in terms of mining performance I mean...
I couldn't say, but I'd think there shouldn't be too much of a difference if the cuda cores are the same. I only know what I run and what I've tried and so far the evga single fan 1060 OC 6g are the best bang for the buck and easiest on the juice. They basically run right around 80w per card at the wall. I'll know better when I finish building the next rig which will be exclusively 1060s. I'm expecting a 6x rig will run well below 500w and churn out 140-150mh/s. I'll know in a week or two and post.
I get about 410-450 MH/s with 18 GTX 1060 6GB's
I run power limit 75%
MEm clock +550
They run at +- 65c
Now with the byzantium hard fork my earnings got trippled.
I now have an etimated earning of 1010$ a month at ethermine.

earnings aren't tripled. It's ~25% increase. With byzantium difficulty is dropped back to ~1600 from ~3000 while the mining rewards are 3 ETH/blk from 5 ETH/blk
Definitely not tripled. I'm doing 182mh/s and I've noticed it jumped from about .70 eth to .89 month. So you are spot on at 25% or so. Works for me.
Pendra37: how do you calculate the dag limit? I have only 3Gb cards and I know from the start that there will be an end but when is more difficult to predict. Will POS allow 3Gb cards to continue working?
Power meter in the wall indicates 850-900W for the whole rig (motheboard, gpu, psu, ssd, cpu,...)

It seems they updated the number post Byzantium and now it shows next April. Last time I checked, it was showing 2018 november or something. The thing is, as the difficulty increases, the hashing power decreases. With the hasing power decreased, the block time increases. The DAG epochs are not defined by date but by block numbers. When X block gets mined, new epoch starts, DAG increases... Originally, it was estimated that each epoch (ie X number of block number mined) will take about 5 days. Now lately, epoch took as long as 10 days due to the unexpectely high difficulty ramp up. That means the originally estimated 3GB limit hit gets pushed further and further.
On the other hand, with byzantium's difficulty decrease, the hashing power of the system increased quite a lot. This means, the epoch will go fast again and the 3GB DAG limit will hit sooner.
Please note that I'm no expert. This is only my (maybe wrong) understanding of the situation, after I read through several pages and sites.
POS is Proof of Stake. At that point, the POW (Proof of Work) GPU mining finishes. No GPU mining will work after that point. If I understand correctly, you will just need to keep your ETH wallet open on your PC to get something.
quoting from a reddit thread,
https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/71xfvi/byzantium_update_from_dev_call_and_3gb_mining/?st=J80NXRCZ&sh=6e70b0cdhttps://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/71xfvi/byzantium_update_from_dev_call_and_3gb_mining/?st=J80NXRCZ&sh=6e70b0cd
Byzantium will land on block 4,370,000 so we will have approximately 2,380,000 blocks before 3GB cards will no longer mine Ethereum. At 14.1s blocks, it will take ~388 days from October 17th 2017. This will put the end of life date for 3GB cards on Ethereum at November 9th 2018. As we will see the delayed difficulty bombs drop and extend block times at blocks 6,500,000 (0.4s), 6,600,000 (0.6s) and 6,700,000 (0.9s), I estimate it to be November 12-13th 2018. While the plan from the Ethereum foundation would be to be at POS at this stage, given their track record on delivery dates, I would take that with a grain of salt.
