Just started a little ETH hobby mine of a couple of ASUS dual gtx1060-06gb (oc) and set up my little rig with the first card. Ive taken a screen shot and wondered if the settings were ok. Would any of uou guys have suggestions to get more out of it?

Thanks

If you fix the GPUs at a lower voltage, you should be able to stay below 600W.

I ordered 3 GTX 1060 with 3GB for 200€. 6GB version sells for 280+. Even if the 3GB will sell worse in a few months, I do not think that the 6GB is worth the money. However, I do not mine ETH but XMR, for ETH the 3GB could become a problem if the blockchain keeps their growing rate ^^

I would try to get a used GTX 1060. The cheaper, the better. The more you spent on the card, the longer it will take until you reach the ROI.
As clock rate is irrelevant, the cheap models are fine as you do not need to overclock and hence do not need best colling solution.
Which RAM is used is just luck. Even on check cards from Palit and PNY you can have Samsung chips. Most 1060 seem to have Samsung chips.
since there are no used cards available here, i have to get the new ones, so i thought ill give 20 bucks more fore better Gaming version than the cheapest Armor because it will sell better later(everyone will have cheapest versions for sell, and ill have a bit better Cheesy), and also cooling will be no problem and fans will last longer..
Also with new cards, if the memory isnt right i can return them  Grin

i am actually selling my RX480/470 rig to get the 1060s, it will cost me the same for same hashrate (ETH), 1 1060 more then RX rig.
but i will be ready for ETH drop in a month(because of those DAG epochs 140+), and 1060s 6G will sell better to gamers and will be worth more than RX 4G at that point
 i will also be able to mine ZEC, im just not sure if RX have more alternative altcoins to mine than the NV?

You can get 23MH/S from regular 1060
No idea for 9gbps cards

How much faster would a 9Gbps card be in ETH and ZEC?

What are your opinions on the cards:
1060 6GB
Gigabyte: G1 Gaming
               Windforce OC 2
               Gaming Extreme
               Aorus 6G 9 Gbps
Msi:  Armor OC V1
        Gaming X
Asus: Dual



Difference from the cheapest to the most expensive is $ 360-405
I think the MSI gaming is the best for the money, because of its cooling, what kind of memory can i expect on it?
What do you think of the most expensive Aorus with 3 vents and 9Gpbs, it is $15 more expensive than the MSI gaming X
If its faster in mining, it would pay for itself,
i would like to see at least 23-24 ETH and 330-340 ZEC when OCed  Cheesy

Speed. Yes the 9Gbps card would be faster but imho its more efficient to overclock a normal 1060 and save the money.

ETH mining only scales with memory not with core, so the TDP has no influence on the result.


Is that with memory quantity or speed? Would the 9Gbps cards have a higher hashrate than the existing ones?

I'm building my first rig with 4xGigabyte Wind force OC 3gb cards in the next week or two. Are people still getting upwards of 21MHs on these with some overclocking?

I'm a little concerned about cooling. They'll be quite close together but I'll have 3 additional 120mm fans to cool it. I should be ok, right?

i have 6x gigabyte windforce 3gb and they mine to 22/23 mh 60%tdp +0 core +900 memory

i tried +1000 memory and they pull 23.5/24 but i get error share


What about the hashrate with 80% tdp? should be 24mh right? try to increase a bit the  core instead of only the ram, many of those gpu can't go over 600-700 1000 on mem is overkill

GTX 1060 usually mine ~22 Mh/s with about 70-80W.

Do any of you use Linux mining with the 1060?  If so, what do you use to overclock?

Many thanks! Any thoughts of the cooling issue? I read this article (http://www.legitreviews.com/geforce-gtx-1070-ethereum-mining-small-tweaks-great-hashrate-low-power_195451), where it seems to stable at 70C, but some feedback from someone using these cards would be helpful!
