A tip and a question:

Tip: If you're tuning your GPUs to reduce power, nvidia-smi can be quite helpful. I open it in a second ssh session so I can watch the miner output in the main window and the GPU in the second.

You can run it with this (refreshes every 0.1 seconds):

Code:

watch -n0.1 nvidia-smi

Question:

My rig is using about 50W more than it should as compared to same Eth mh/s under windows. I've got cclock set to -35 and mclock set to 820. pl is set to 75. I get ~23mh/s, which is what I'm shooting for. from the nvidia-smi output it looks like the problem is that three of the cards (this rig is 3x PNY and 1xEVGA) are not honoring the powerlimit. Still new to tuning nvidia cards until linux. Any ideas?

Code:

Update:
Apparently quite a few people are experiencing this issue with GTX 1060's https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1011804/linux/nvidia-smi-not-fully-supported-on-gtx-1060/. In this case, mine is a PNY 3GB version which someone else is having issues with as well. Unclear as to whether this is a driver bug or somehow related to particular motherboards (a Gigabyte z97 SOC Force in my case).

Thanks for the tip!
Looking at the table posted: The cap is in place (75W), but the card is not honouring it. There might be a firmware upgrade for the card?
Out of curiosity: What's the avg Sol/s you get with these cards, or do you just mine Ethash with it? Do you mine single or dual mode?
