Hello
I remember read about someone that was able to lower target power limit under 70W on the GTX 1060 but i cannot find the post.

I am trying to increase efficiency of my miners, by lowering target power limit but no matter what I do, i cannot get under 80W TPL

Cards are Gigabyte G1 GTX 1060 3GB
tested on Lubuntu 1404 and 1604 (kopiemtu 2.0 and 3.0)
Tested drivers 367, 370 and 378

While I can operate a 1070 at 90W which is very efficient, the 1060 it should become efficient at 60-70W range, but minimum accepted by the driver is 80W which is WAY too high (nvidia-smi -pl 70 command)

any idea?, hint?, would be greatly appreciated Smiley
thanks!
indkt.
