I have had 2 people on reddit on a thread I started say they are getting 25 Mh/s with stock settings on this exact same card in their laptops so I'm flabbergasted as to why mine is a dud on eth. lol

I have completely given up I just can't figure out why. At first I thought the miners were only seeing 4GB of my memory and pretty much classifying my card as obsolete but that can't be right because it loads the entire dag file before it will start mining it even says it in the miner so it definitely sees the 6gb of memory. I thought it was a windows issue so I tried HiveOS today after about 5 hours of trying to get it working I finally got it to mine to find out it ran at 13.5 mh/s which was even slower than windows I've hit around 15 mh/s on windows 10 t-rex and phoenix.

I'm just out of options to try. I checked the bios but there is literally nothing you can change in a bios on laptops they don't come with the massive amount of options like a desktop has. It only has very basic things you can turn on and off like legacy support, etc. There are no settings for memory, gpu, or any of that so bios is not the issue.

OS is not the issue. Mining software is not the issue. Overclocking or underclocking is not the issue.

I want to think that my card is actually not a 1660ti and it's a 1650 or something smaller and labeled as a 1660ti and that's why the hash rate on eth isn't good but it meets the hashrates of CFX Octopus and many other coins that I have tried to mine so far. Most of them it out does the hastrates that whattomine, nicehash, and other sites say. So if it was labeled in correctly it would actually be shitty hashrates for everything.

On another note at least I am making around $2 a day on CFX so it's not as if I am desperate to mine eth. I just seen a problem and when I seen a problem I like to try and solve it so just mostly out of curiosity. It surely is driving me nuts. I should call out Vanilla Ice on that "if you got a problem yo I'll solve it". I think it's time for him to pay up. lol

No matter what I set the memory too it still gets terrible hash rates.

At default stock gpu clock and memory 200 it gets 13-13.5 mh/s

Changing the memory clock or the gpu clock hardly changes anything mining eth.

It picked octopus because eth isn't getting the speeds it is suppose too and that's the only reason. This card is suppose to get 28 Mh/s on eth and it gets 15 which is half that. No one can convince me that a mobile gpu gets half the speeds of a desktop one when the stats are almost identical. I'm still trying to figure out why it's not hashing at the speeds this card is capable of.

I watch my heat all the time I never let it get over 75C I try to keep it around 72C I always have a box fan blowing on the laptop. Heat is not an issue unless you allow it to be.



Yeah I'm always up to date on windows 10. Check them regularly always a habit.

Pagefile is set to 30 GB. My card has 6gb of memory I read online that 30gb is right for one card with 6gb of memory.

Heat is the only thing that will mess up any computer device and I never let my laptop get over 74C I keep it around 69C to 73C with a box fan on it and the bottom of the laptop cover removed and I have it elevated so it gets plenty of airflow. I monitor temps all day long.


I have tried all the miners available that are the best. I'm currently using the most up to date t-rex miner. I've tried phoenix miner, and also some others. I've also tried nicehash and it will pick octopus or something else never eth. It also shows eth speeds at 15 mh/s or so.

This is an Omen 15 gaming laptop. I bought it about 6 months ago. I'm an I.T. tech and a big time gamer I am 100% sure I know what this laptop has in it. I even posted a picture of GPU-Z.

Mobile GPUs (in laptops ) are always weaker than real graphic cards mate, you can do a comparison between a mobile gtx1660ti vs the real gtx1660ti, you will see that the standalone gtx1660ti is more powerful, also I don't recommend mining with your laptop, a laptop that can have a gtx1660ti is costly I believe

As soon as I connect with telnet and hit any key it disconnects. I can't type help.

Does this miner not have a web api? I've seen that it binds to port 4048 and when I try to access the api from my browser I get errors every time. localhost:4048 isn't working.

Having some issues with this miner. I was using awesome miner which uses the 10.x version and I was getting a ton of share errors. I adjusted the -h many different ways and nothing was working so I started researching. I ran across a couple threads on other sites saying to use t he 9.7 version because it doesn't do very well on the r9 270x models. So I downloaded it and noticed it required 15.12 drivers so I downloaded those removed all the old driver files and installed the new one. I started using the miner and used it a couple days then stopped because I was mining other things. I tried to go back to using this miner again today and now every time I open it crashes. Maybe someone here can point me in a direction how to get this miner working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why the images or not showing I've used the img tags the forums provides if a moderator sees this please fix the images so they will load int he post. TY!

EDIT: I've wanted to mention also that I've tried sfc/scannow to check windows files making sure they are okay. I've also turned off my Microsoft Security Essentials making sure it wasn't causing the exception. Still no luck. The crazy thing is just a couple days ago this miner was running smooth as hell with no issues at all for several days. As far as I know I haven't changed anything on this desktop in several weeks. Same overclock and all that.
