So I decided to give mining a go with my standard / gaming PC - the rig is as follows;
Board; Gigabyte Z170-D3H
CPU; Intel Core i5 6600
16 Gig Ram - DDR4
HDD's; M.2 SSD (Samsung) & 1 x WD - Green 3TB Drive
1 x GPU (Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming), Drivers 382.53
With the shortage of RX570/580s in my state (Victoria, Australia), I thought I would test the the card I already had, just as something to do in the back ground when I am not using the rig and to help familiarise myself with Claymores Duel Miner. And I was pleasantly surprised, 19 Mh/s with no modding or overclocking. I tweaked the card settings a bit and got it stable just under 22 mh/s, with the card itself only pulling between 80-100 watts (depends if I am also using the machine).
I am running Claymores in single mine mode (secondary disabled at the moment) and I have since added another Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 card - purely to mine (and due to lack of RX stock). So with the 2 cards I am averaging 43 mh/s, and the whole system is only pulling 290-300 watts from the wall.
The GPU's are running at; GPU clock - 2050 Mhz, Memory 2161 Mhz, Video Clock 1890 Mhz - average temp is 62oC
Based on the current rate of Eth, it seems more cost effective to mine Eth, as opposed to ZCash (which appears to be the nvidia gpu goto at present).
So... based on the above, has anyone discovered any tricks / tips to get the mh/s higher with GTX 1060 cards?
