sigt from 18 to 20

got one 6gb from palit running at

this is running at 70% power

No. It's working well with ZEC of ETH (in dual mode too) the 6th card not working with ccminer (tried BTX, SIGT, SWEEP). I propose that it's that GPU issue, but not tested yet. It's working now with scheme I described above and now I've no direct acces to the hardware. So it's acceptable for me now

Thanks. I've decided to put all 6 cards on SIGT for now. Might be adding another 6-8 gpu rig in a couple of weeks, that's if I can find good priced 1070.

It seems like abit weird error that your 6th card does not work with mining ZEC or ETH. Do you mind to share if there is any error message shown?

It's quite possible. But the profit depends on your trading ability ) For example I've a rig with 6xGTX1070 it works fine with ZEC and ETH miner, but with ccminer (different versions) The 6th card not working - hardware error. So I have to mine SIGT on 5 cards  and the rest 6th card mines Equihash or Ethhash

They looks fine.


Anyone tried mining 3 coins at once? I'm experimenting with dual mining Eth & Decred on 3x cards and Zcash on 3x cards.
Which would you think more profitable? 6x cards on Zcash/Eth or split like above?

Is that OK?

Hey I have problem.
I have 3x GTX ASUS DUAL 6GB
1x GTX GIGABYTE 3GB

When I connect 3x GTX ASUS DUAL 6GB PC detects only 2 cards, when I change the card for GIGABYTE it shows 3.

The problem is that it can't show 3 GTX ASUS DUAL 6GB Cards, when I swap cards all the time only 2 are working fine.

So, I stopped mining zcash and went on to try Signatum and test my overclock with Eth. Everything was fine.
Then, I switched back to Zec and is now showing normal OC'ed hash rate.

Did you change ASUS card slot? If so it seems the card is not working properly. I had the similar problem with GTX1070 EVGA. I tested it about 3 days after buy and eventually took it back to the store

Need some input.

I have 6x GTX1060 on my rig connected to Biostar TB350 motherboard.
Gigabyte and Zotac has Hynix memory, Asus has Micron.

PCIe 1_1 slot = Gigabyte Windforce OC 6GB
PCIe 16_1 slot = Zotac AMP! 6GB
PCIe 1_1 slot = Asus Strix OC 6GB
PCIe 1_1 slot = Asus Strix OC 6GB
PCIe 1_1 slot = Asus Strix OC 6GB
PCIe 1_1 slot = Asus Strix OC 6GB
PCIe 1_1 slot = Asus Strix OC 6GB

GPUZ and Afterburner tally with each other
GPU#0 Asus (Micron) 1961/4303 (PL 80, CC +175, MC +500)
GPU#1 Asus (Micron) 1974/4303 (PL 80, CC +175, MC +500)
GPU#2 Asus (Micron) 1999/4303 (PL 80, CC +200, MC +500)
GPU#3 Gigabyte (Hynix) 1797/4303 (PL 75, CC +200, MC +500)
GPU#4 Asus (Micron) 1961/4303 (PL 80, CC +175, MC +500)
GPU#5 Zotac (Hynix) 1797/4303 (PL 70, CC +175, MC +500)

*MC is being OC as I often switched to ETH mining.

This seems to be tally with MSI Afterburner.

My issue now is the hash rate that I got from one of the Asus card (GPU#04). Its hash rate is pretty low, upping the core clock or power limit doesn't seems to do much on the hash rate. Is the card fucked?.
Something like this.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong and what can I do to get normal hash rate from this one card?

Thanks, didn't know that memory clock doesn't affect equihash mining. I'm back tweaking the settings to see if I can get better hash with untouched memory clock.

Why would you increase memory for equihash? Is not changing much, you should stick to the core clock.
I go with PL 75-80, CC + 150, Memory 0 and I get about 295 - 300 sols.
Good luck.

Wow that is great! I have the same cards with micron. I will give it a shot. I'm on 384.94:

Power 75
Clock is stock
Memory is +600. Seems to crash at 650 or higher

Getting 21 mh/s eth and 450 on decried dual mining

My 1070's power limits range from 62-72%. There isn't much improvement on my cards by raising the power. Clocks at stock levels but memory is 600-650 depending the card.

My 1060's all run better at 75-80% power. Anything lower and the performance drops off. Core clocks at stock but memory (micron) doesn't go much past +600.

Thanks for sharing. Your power limit set to 77% is pretty low, yet you can overclock abit. Good to know your settings. I assumed it is stable 24/7, right?

I think so as they're are new stock when I got them.
Still have 4x Asus Strix OC 1060 6G waiting to be installed.

After much tweaking, I think I'm good with my current settings.

I have Geforce 1070 windforce OC. About the same hashrate as your EVGA 1070, but I checked with GPU-Z, it used much wattage compared to yours. 1070 TDP is 150w, how do you get 120w? Did you undervolt it? If yes, do you mind to share your experience? Thanks!
