Ethminer: Hashrate help! GTX 1060 6 GB

[DiazLv]

Hi All,
I am quiet newbie in mining. just setup 2 GTX 1060 6 gb DDR5 (Hynix) but when first start hashrate around 15 ~ 17 mhs after overclock 19 ~ 21 mhs.
Never across beyond that hashrate. any of you able to help me what setting i have done wrong?

Overclock setting:

• Power limit 65%
• Memory clock: +750
• Core clock: 0
• Fan: 70%

using ethermine 0.12.0

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ethminer.exe -U --farm-recheck 2000 --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 16384 -S asia1.ethermine.org:4444 -FS us1.ethermine.org:4444 -O

I am also change set force P0 to off

You use OpenCl to mine with Nvidia cards, On Nvidia GPU's its often better to use CUDA to mine

[satori-q3a]

For Micron and Hynix memories, that's what to expect. My EVGA 1060 has a Micron and can't get past 21 MH without becoming unstable.

Using NVidia Inspector, you'll notice that the MCU never hits 100%, I'm lucky it stays at 93%.

[DiazLv]

@MariusVanDerWijden in the setting "-U" mean mining with CUDA instead of OpenGL right?
i did using -G but the hashrate slightly lower 1 mhs

@satori-q3a yea so far for samsung not much people complaint about hashrate. it easily mine with 24mhs. Wonder anyone able to reach 24mhs with micron or hynix.

[ZeddBread]

Do you think it's due to the OS?

[jpoirier]

I'm running an ASUS GTX1060 6GB with micron memory on windows 10 that does a stable 23.4 23.00 to 23.28 mhs but any more tweakage for a higher hash rate causes problems.

• core voltage 0
• power limit 70%
• core clock -170
• mem clock +610
• fan speed 70%

Start-up is simple:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

ethminer.exe -U ...

Note, no need to set the following three environment variables since they're set in the etherminer/main.cpp file:

// Set env vars controlling GPU driver behavior.
setenv("GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE", "100");
setenv("GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT", "100");
setenv("GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT", "100");

[DiazLv]

@ZeddBread i am using windows 10. haven't try linux yet
@jpoirier any reason to under clock core? my one did not have any difference on hashrate

[jpoirier]

@DiazLv to decrease energy usage

[DiazLv]

@jpoirier thx for the info

@DiazLv
As I understood so far, the Samsung RAM can be pushed further, but at same speeds it is not faster...

+750 Mem stable @ 1060 is quite nice
You can compare the absolute Mhz below to see

my ASUS GTX1060 6OG gets instable there (Samsung RAM)

with (Win 10) - running since 6 months:
stock voltage
PL 60%
Clock -400 (Afterburner: 1455Mhz)
RAM +723 (Afterburner: 4622Mhz)
Fan typically 40%@43°C (~18°C room temp)
(Fansetting: 30%@35°C + 50%@50°C)
drawing 94Watts (HW Mon)
giving 23mh/s - compared to my 1070 (running PL 70%) it produces "only" 73% of the hashes - sure the power per mh is higher with ~3,75

[DiazLv]

Thx you for sharing @DDDanny
I was tried ver 0.13rc7 its seem like stable. Around 20.7 ~ 21.3 mh/s instead of 19~21

But when i check actual eth I receive same amount. Just information

[pranash07]

I’m running 6 X ROG-STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING (Hynix)

Can’t seem to get more than that

Core voltage 0
Power limit 65%
Core clock 100
Memory clock 900
Fan speed AUTO

21.2MH/s per card

[momowchang]

@pranash07 do you have any freezing with that oc settings? i have the same card with hynix mem.

[pranash07]

Nope no freezing.runs super stable on my current settings

[oscarn20]

hi, im new to this im mining with simplemining check my setting to OC, help me i thinks its ok im having no rejected share

im having this Mh/s

this temp and fan %

gpu0 power color red devil rx580
gpu1 msi 1060 6gb hynix mem
gpu2 gigabyte 1060 3gb
gpu3 gigabyte 1060 3gb
gpu4 gigabyte 1060 3gb

im a little scared because i think i overclock too much but its working good for 3 days now, and the electric bill its no i problem here

at first the gpu was giving me this

gpu0 power color red devil rx580 27mh/s (them i bios modded) the oc setting doesnt affect this but if i put to 0 them the next card go back to 15mh/s
gpu1 msi 1060 6gb hynix mem 15mh/s out of box
gpu2 gigabyte 1060 3gb 17mh/s out of box
gpu3 gigabyte 1060 3gb 17mh/s out of box
gpu4 gigabyte 1060 3gb 17mh/s out of box

im giving this info to help anybody and to be help if im doing something wrong any advice will be much appreciated, thanks

ps: im waiting for some other cards

[pranash07]

Your temps seem High,do you think your cards will have the life longevity as you would hope for?

[invidtiv]

@oscarn20
if you are using simpleminingOS then you cannot never put AMD and NVIDIA together , remove your GPU0 from that rig, things will work afterwards ;)

[invidtiv]

@oscarn20
and put your fan to 100% you will fry quick your grafic cards with those temp.

[oscarn20]

@pranash07 @invidtiv thanks for the obsarvation i will remove the amd card and see what happens, and im going to pu the fan 100%

[oscarn20]

@pranash07 @invidtiv i have a question> what is the recommended temp?

[pranash07]

Anywhere between 55-65 Degrees Celsius
I wouldn't recommend going pass that especially if you want to get full life out of your cards.

[oscarn20]

@pranash07 thanks

[invidtiv]

yes I live in portugal and i try to keep them below 50C for nvidia and below 55C for AMD
anything above that and the cards stop working...

[oscarn20]

update:
oc settings

gpu MH/s

Temp and fan

Hynix memory forever will show less hashrate due timins.

My stable OC for HYNIX is

• core voltage 0
• power limit 70%
• core clock -170
• mem clock +600
• fan speed auto

19.3 MH/s Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB Version
From @jpoirier

[oscarn20]

@venadHD
i tried those settings and get down to 17.3 from 19.7
i guess doenst work equal to diferrent brand because mine are a msi 1060 6gb hynix memory

[ghost]

What is your current config for MSI Hynix memory?

[invidtiv]

ON good days Cclock -200 Mclock +1350 Power 60%

[oscarn20]

-100/+1300

[oscarn20]

but the hynix memory its a problem i will sell that card and buy another and hopefully not a hynix

[ghost]

Cant go up as 1000

Is it normal Ethminer starting scripts for ~10min before start really mining works? Mine seems to be in slow motion on the first minutes LOL

[ghost]

Can you post the script?
