Perfect, that helped a lot! Much easier and effective way to adjust the settings. I've just installed gpu-z, and found out it's a Samsung GDDR5 6 Gb memory set.
Yeah, then ETH mining is probably the best way to go for you. Samsung memory usually overclocks a lot better than Hynix and Micron, and that's what matters the most for ETH algo. Plus it doesn't care as much about the core clock and the power consumption is on the low side in general. Download the latest version of nvidia profile inspector, set "CUDA - Force P2 State" to "Off" (it'll help to get rid of the unwanted memclock jump when you close the miner), set the core voltage to 0.8V and start overclocking the VRAM. You should get 20-23 MH/s out of your card. Though of course watch out for temps, that's the main issue in your setup.
Nice, honestly, i didn't make a lot of research on the matter, but from the little i had read, didn't know the GPU's memory brand could directly affect overclocking and power consumption. That is great news, i am thinking though of buying a dedicated rig, and starting to mine for real 24/7, the only bad side is that it is still too expensive to buy the components in EU, in comparison to US... I'll give a try with ETH, and will do my best not to turn my laptop into a toaster. Too busy with work right now, so i doubt i can keep my experience up to date here, but maybe things turn better for me soon. Your input was very helpful, sir
