Thanks for sharing, I'm curious about ETH hashrate too if you can test it.

Didn't manage to run it, but I think it will be around 18.5 MH/s without manual OC.

Forgot to mention, my GPU is MSI ARMOR, core clock is 1900-1940 during mining (out of box speed), while tdp is 70-75%, temperature is 65-69 degress, ambient temperature is around 23.

Overall is seems to be 66% of GTX 1070 while being also 66% of it's price. So I would recommend to pick 1070 in most cases.

I run a couple rigs, one with 1060 3g and one with 1060 OC 6g and a couple 1070. The 1070's do run about 30% better rates, however, they also suck more juice at the wall, which translates into more heat and cost. I'd rather not pay for a PC heater thanks.

Right now the most efficient and cost-effective rig (people are gonna be hatin' I'm sure) are EVGA 1060 OC 6g single fan. A 6x rig will churn out 140mh/s+ while running at 68c and drawing only 500w at the wall. THAT is not bad for a cheap (never thought I'd call a $270 card cheap) card.

Mining Eth (power between 60-65%, core 0, memory clock +400-600 depending on GPU)
ALL EVGA
1060 3g 18mh/s
1060 OC 6g 22.5-24 mh/s
PNY 1070 OC Gaming 32.5 mh/s

Biostar BTC 250 MoBo, 8g, SSD, Celeron, EVGA 850 G2 Gold... cheap cheap cheap, room for 8 gpu's on that PSU BTW

Hint: Cheap out on everything but the PSU. Cheap PSU can blow the entire rig or worse... burn your house down.

cheers

Hi guys,

Anyone with 1060 Gigabyte windforce OC 6G here?

I got 6 of them in my rig. Hynix memory Cry

I'm pulling 1700-1750 sols on Zcash out of the box. do you have settings to get better hashrate?

Tried eth but i can't OC the cards more than mem + 500 or miner crashes.
I was getting 15,5Mh out of the box, 18,8Mh with core-200 mem+500 but even then it's not stable. i get hashrate drops and crashes. anyone had the same issue? got a solution?

Don't change your core clock, and especially not -200. The best stable I got underclocking the core was about -75. I've abandoned that entirely. Try keeping the core at 0, power at 65, and start at +500 on the memory clock as you have it now. Then run for a bit, and try adding +20 until you start becoming unstable.

You'll save on juice and should be able to get them above 22mh. All rigs are different, but 18 on a 6g of any flavor is really low.

Is there any difference between EVGA GTX 1060 6GB single fan and the same "Superclocked" version? in terms of mining performance I mean...

After I responded last month with "I doubt there would be much of a difference as the cores are the same" I realized the cores (SC 1544/1759 - Gaming 1506/1708 are indeed different... oops) So, to prove it to myself, I ordered 3 of them and ran them alongside 3 SCs... and viola they indeed hash at exactly the same rates and they play nicely with each other; MSI AB sees them as the same cards.
My MSI settings:
Power - lowered to 67%
Core Clock +20 (seems to help keep them a bit more stable - might be imaginary)
Memory Clock +490 - over 500 they start hashing like a roller coaster - At +490 they consistently hash a little more than they report, proving that sometimes less it more.
Fans on a steep manual setting which keeps the cards all well below 60c yet never running the fans above 50%, except the main card (16x slot) which runs at about 64c at 65% fan.

Total for the 6x rig is right at 134-135, 6 hour is 139.7, and the rig calculates to earn almost $700mo according to nanopool with ETH price of 1380.

The final answer is that they mine exactly the same as an SC. I'm kicking myself because I could have saved over $300 getting the base gaming model, however the SC will probably hold resell value better.

Note: I also tested 3x dual fan EVGA 1060 SSC 6g cards (1607/1835) and... they sucked oh so badly! I spent 4 days trying to figure out why, making tweaks, running them by themselves with ZERO luck getting them above 17.5mh! I paid a $50 premium thinking they would hash better (on paper) and ended up sending them right back. A waste of time and a lot of money.

HNY EVERYONE!
