I'm having difficulties getting my 1060's up above 21Mh/s. I'm hoping that the veterans here can help me understand why my hashrate is lower than others are getting, even with the 3Gb cards?

- 6 x MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X+ 6gb Cards
- Samsung Memory
- 85% power / +125 Core / +850 Memory == ~64C

- Windows 10 64-bit latest version
- 8Gb RAM
- 16Gb Virtual Memory
- Tried latest Nvidia drivers as well as driver 382.33 (read someone was using this version and got better results, I however did not increase my hashrate)

- Using Claymore rev 9.5 (I know it isn't latest but had same results prior to 9.6 release) and only single mining ETH

I do not understand what I can do to increase my hashrate. Any ideas?

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X+ (Plus) is sucks. The Gaming X is better.

Mine one Gaming X+ only get around 19-20 with +845 Memory.
and with Gaming X, I get 23-24 with +996 Memory.

With the new ethminer 0.11, Gaming X can get 24-25.
Gaming X+ Sold before I could I try the new ethminer, so didn't what is the hashrate.

Guys, please stop asking always the same question! No, no one could, can or will be able to tell which memory is used on which card!

Hello,

I have just purchased MSI GTX 1060 6GB from amazon , does anyone have info which memories does MSI use ? Samsung or hynix or micron ? Can it be any 3 of them ?

If someone has MSI gtx1060 , can he please tell which memory his card has ?

Thanks

Its a lottery as they all use all three types even in the same model cards. Download GPUz and see what memory it has.

mmm your gtx 1070 is twice faster than your 1060! where do you exchange your spreadcoin? i don't see it on kraken and poloniex.....

www.bittrex.com

The 1070 is around 60% faster than the 1060 3gb. Not 100% faster

Spreadcoin is the most profitable coin on the gtx 1060 3gb making $5.22 a day with sp-mod #10 (0.05BTC PM for details). This is more than they make on the 1080ti with the nicehashminer. (The nicehashminer has 50 000 users that will compete with you and take your profit)

The global hashrate is around 3000 rx 580 cards, so the coin is pretty small

(12 MUSD marketcap value on the exchanges) $35,002 24h trade volume at www.bittrex.com

Spreadminer sp-mod #10 in action:

Found i downloaded the weong thing. Got the right thing and it starts but inly finds the processor onboard gpu.

Same bat file info as before.

Just a guess but try...
Make sure in your bios you've got the graphics priority set to external (or whatever the verbage is that means "use my card not the internal motherboard graphics").

Well that explains it. Ive set it to onboard because ive got a vga port on my monitor and the hdmi is already being used. Oh well ill stick with claymores. Thanks for the info.

I do not understand what I can do to increase my hashrate. Any ideas?

I get about 23 MH/s on Claymore with pretty similar settings (+250 core, +1000 mem, 75 power, fan auto, latest NVidia driver). I'm using a zotac 1060 6gb mini that has Samsung mem. I can push it a couple more Mh/s using genoil's ethminer with the 1060 optimizations but it randomly crashes anywhere from several hours to a few minutes in and the way it crashes is it doesn't exit, just hangs. Claymore seems more stable so far though that's relative. Since you are only a couple Mh/s off of my reading maybe it's down to just your particular card. These can all be kind of squirrely to get going. Are you able to borrow another 1060 and try with same settings? If you are using a riser maybe try bypassing that with your current card to test.

Thanks for your input.

I never tried using Genoil's ethminer. Once I got Claymore I edited the single line to include my info for ethermine and left it at that. Should I have set anything else up in my bat file for Claymore other than my specific wallet & rig ID's? I'm literally at the max for these cards, and I've also experienced the odd freeze which locks my rig up as well. That was after about a week of running non-stop with memory at +900. Decreased it down to +850 and so far so good.

All my cards are attached to risers. All of my cards were purchased at the same time and have the same manufacturer. Unfortunately, I do not have any other cards to try out. I guess I could unplug the risers from the MB slots and connect one card to the PCI-E slot and test that.

That's what I'd do, go one by one on the cards bypassing the risers and see if one pops out particularly different than the others. Or keep the risers on and take out a card one by one and monitor performance that way. At least then you'll rule out if it's a specific card in your set or not.

Can someone point me in the direction of the correct place to download Genoils Ethminer for Win10. Downloded something from github and created a bat file but ut flashes up and then disappears. Used the info from the homepage of ethermine.org to create the bat file.

From your description it sounds like you are trying to start the bat file from explorer. You need to run from console instead. Right click your start button and select "Run" then in the run window type cmd and hit ok. A terminal window will pop up where you can type commands and do file i/o non-icon based. "cd" (change-directory) to wherever you put ethminer and your batfile, then just type the batfile name and you should be good to go.

If you do need the actual windows binary do a search for "genoil's windows binary" and it should pop up.

So does anybody have a list about cards that does not have hynix memory so people who want to buy 1060's can avoid the ones with hynix? Thanks.

Same model cards can come with different ram chips. There is no guaranteed way to tell.
Except, mining cards of course. They advertise with samsung memory or without samsung memory.

using claymore dual mining i get 22.5mhs

solo with new enhanced ethminer 25mhs

using ASUS dual oc 6gb

This is the 0.11.0rc1 version??
Would you be able to post up your *.bat file config? I'm getting mid 23MH/s on my setup
+155/+800

hi,
I used default bat file that come from file in cryptomining-blog website.
I only added --farm-recheck 2000
default is 200 and very hard to get accurate hashrate.
