Re: What Hashrate should i be looking at with a GTX 1060 Mining Electroneum

AMD cards are much better for CryptoNight, 516h/s is good result for your card. You can go to http://monerobenchmarks.info/ and look at what hashrate are people getting with different cards.

Total noob question; Do I have to purchase a supported motherboard in the exact model number listed? Or will most motherboards just work?
I have a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3R

Most mobos will work, my rigs are running on fm2 and fm2+ mobos.

I have the same issue. Both of my rigs running nvOC are down. It looks like some kind of update was done and drivers stopped working.

Hi,
was anyone able to compile krnlx ccminer-xevan on nvoc 19?



I saw the topic a while ago, what coins does it mine, is it giving good profit or hash rate??


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2237852.0


EDIT : 1

Just saw on yiimp, you can mine BitSend with it.

Not sure if it is worth to mine with my 1060 Rig, will try to compile and see.

EDIT : 2

I've just tried to compile it, no luck, getting the bignum.hpp compilation error!!

I get the same error. From what I remeber this has something to do with change in openssl version, but I can't find infromation on how to fix it.

I modded r9 380 bios while back but results were merely visible as it wen from 21mhs to 21.5 ...
This was typical straps copy paste.
Run cards at 800/1500 and you should get better hash rate at very low power consumption. Remeber to use blockchain drivers.

Gainward GTX 1060 3GB = 25,2 Mh/s (ETH) GPU -400, MEM + 950  TDP -50%

Samsung mems

when have you bought this card? Bought 5 spieces of 1060 3gb all hynix with 18.5mhs max, asus dual, asus dual OC, msi armor, msi gaming x, gigabyte g1

I talked to guys from store where I buy most of my cards and they said that 3GB version will only have hynix memory and 6GB version is a lottery on what you will get, so if you buy 3GB version better mine equihash or lbry with them as for eth they are simply waste of energy.

sata is rated at 54W so with two sata plugs you are still far from 150W which 8pin pcie is rated.

Does anyone know if there is a way to set temperature target for card instead of powerlimit? I have couple gtx 1060 cards that won't go below 97W when running in nvOC, which is 80% power limit, same thing is in windows no matter which tool I use, but when I use power target in windows and set it to ie.65C the cards power usage goes down to 80W. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find if there is a way to control temp target in linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you use v0018 and download the newest 1bash and files / copy them to the home directory replacing the ones that are there / configure the 1bash:

setting:

Code:
Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL="YES"

and each individual powerlimit and temperature limit + control settings:

Code:
INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_0=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_1=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_2=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_3=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_4=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_5=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_6=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_7=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_8=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_9=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_10=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_11=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_12=75

INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT_13=75

# Set the target temperature per card.

# Don't set it too low, if the temperature can't be reached with fan adjustments it will decrease power.

# Recommended ranges: 55 - 70 degrees Celsius

# If actual temp is above the target temp this script will up the fan speed

TARGET_TEMP_0=70

TARGET_TEMP_1=70

TARGET_TEMP_2=70

TARGET_TEMP_3=70

TARGET_TEMP_4=70

TARGET_TEMP_5=70

TARGET_TEMP_6=70

TARGET_TEMP_7=70

TARGET_TEMP_8=70

TARGET_TEMP_9=70

TARGET_TEMP_10=70

TARGET_TEMP_11=70

TARGET_TEMP_12=70

TARGET_TEMP_13=70


# If actual temp is above value set above and fan speed is 100,
# the script will lower the power limit

# SET INDIVIDUAL POWERLIMITS ABOVE


# Adjustment size (FAN in percent, POWER in Watts)
__FAN_ADJUST=5
POWER_ADJUST=5

# Difference in actual temperature allowed before action.
#Works only if current is BELOW target temp
ALLOWED_TEMP_DIFF=3

# Restore original power limit if fan speed is lower than this percentage
RESTORE_POWER_LIMIT=90

# lowest fan speed that will be used
MINIMAL_FAN_SPEED=50

This won't work as the script controls temperature with fan speed and power limit and for my cards power limit won't work.

Issue with TDP setting on gtx 1060
by
Arek
on 07/07/2017, 05:14:57 UTC
Hi,
I have issue in one of my rigs, the rig has 4 cards gtx 1060: two are palit dual 6GB one is msi 6GB and one is gigabyte 3GB. The problem is that when I lower TDP to anything below 80% ie 70%, using aftreburner or nvinspector,  only msi and gigabyte TDP lowers and palit stay at 80%. I checked with watt meter and gpu-z also shows that palit won't go below 96W. Rig is running latest windows 10 and 382.05 drivers. Anyone had similar issue and knows how to solve it?

These cards are good for eth and they easily get 29-30mhs at 100W. If you don't want to use linux run windows 7 or latest windows 10, I believe it's called creators update,  as on windows 10 there are issues unless you updated it.

Is anyone heaving issues with ZEC miner? I have 4 cards in one of my rigs: 1050ti, 1060 6G and 2x 1070 and it's running at full speed and after few minutes the mining speed drops to like 40% and after 2-3 minutes it's back to full speed and it's doing that over and over again...
I have all cards with around 70% tdp +140 clock and memory at stock.

I have tested a mixed 1070 and 1080ti rig; and a mixed 1050ti and 1060 rig.  I haven't tested a triple mixed: 1050ti, 1060, 1070.

To help isolate if this problem is EWBF related:  can you try mining a coin that doesn't use EWBF. 

Say:  DUAL_ETC_SC

(ensure you update your ETC and SC (SIA) addresses if you do this)

and tell me if you have the same problem.


It's only EWBF, ccminer and Claymores do not have this drop in hashing power.

I got 1 3gb and few 6gb versions and there are some differences. When mining ethash they mine almost the same but for equihash I get 300 on 6GB vs 275 on 3GB with same clocks and tdp, on skein its 316 vs 280 and on lbry 3GB is also around 10% slower. I didn't configure them for max performance but more for optimal power to performance.

Use nvOC distro, you can find information on this forum. It's ubuntu based very simple to use and you can mine multiple algos using it.

I've switched from win10 to nvOC as I was heaving issues with windows hanging from time to time and I have couple questions:

1. I have 3 1060 from different manufacturers and when I set power limit to anything from 70W to 84W it works on 2 of them but the third one, which is palit, is running always at 94W and it won't get lower, is this something limited by cards bios?
2. In windows with latest drivers I'm getting 22.5-22.8 Mhs in eth per gtx1060 using Claymores miner but in nvOS I'm getting 21Mhs with exactly same settings (core +120, memory +700, PL 84W) Is this typical for eth because of how Claymore wrote his miner for linux or simply I should look for different settings because of OS/driver differences?



nvidia-smi -i 0 --query-gpu=power.min_limit,power.max_limit --format=csv
where -i "number" is the gpu you want to query
regarding second question, I am also seeing discrepancies, try higher overclock or higher PL
also, go for 378 driver!

I have 378 driver already installed and the command provided returns 60W for minimum power limit and 140W for max
here is the screen from nvidia-smi command showing all gpus with low power limit set:
https://ibb.co/hUHMLv

When comparing power consumption; even within the same OS the software is not accurate.  With some brands the information from Nvidia-smi is almost correct, with others it is very off. 

When comparing Afterburner settings from windows with linux powerlimits; you need to know the TDP of the card you are using.  This varies by manufacturer and the specific card model.  Afterburner uses percent TDP while linux powerlimits are implemented in watts.  The 1060 3gb I have have a TDP of 120 watts.  Thus 84 % of 120 is 100.8 watts: this would be the linux powerlimit equivalent of a windows afterburner powerlimit setting of 84.

To have accurate comparisons you really need to have a device such as a kill-a-watt, that will measure the power-at-the-wall.  Tell me if a 101 watt powerlimit in linux produces similar hashrates.


I have the rig connected to smart plug which shows power usage and all my cards have 120W TDP. In AB I set all cards to 70% which gives me 84W per card + efficiency of PSU and setting 84W in linux produces ~10W more for entire rig power consumption.

If you set the linux power limit so that the actual power-at-the-wall matches what it is with windows; how do the hashrates compare?


It's around 1.5Mhs lower in linux per card (22.5Mhs in windows vs 21Mhs in linux)
