GTX 1060 6GB 9Gbps Low Hashrate

[Kiryu141]

Hi All,

I recently acquired a new AORUS GTX 1060 6GB (GV-N1060AORUS-6GD) with Samsung memory.

Right out of the box, the Hashrate is atleast 3MH/s slower with approx 16MH/s compared to the existing generation of GTX 1060 6GB. Best I can squeeze out with powerlimit, gpu and vram tweaking takes it up to 20.5MH/s.

I already have 6 GTX 1060 6GB 8Gbps versions running on a rig successfully with an average 22.5-23.5MH/s each (Samsung memory) running on 62% Powerlimit, +152Mhz GPU and +888Mhz VRAM.

I am running the latest NVIDIA drivers 382.53. I am testing it standalone (like I do with every card) before adding to a rig.

Can this either be a driver issue or lack of current support in Claymore 9.5?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

The best I'm getting out of mine is rather similar to your end results.

Stock settings on my evga ssc 1060, I get ~18.5 Mh/s
With some tweaks, I get 20.5 or so.

i thought that a 1060 u could reach 23Mh/s

[ScottRosenberg2]

Not from my testing Maybe someone has a unicorn one that overclock higher?

@WellDone2094 - 23+MH/s is what I am getting out of the MK1 GTX 1060 6GB like I mentioned already. Very new on the market is the revised GTX 1060 6GB (MK2) now fitted with 9Ghz memory STOCK. So potential overclocked is around 10Ghz. If this really is a hardware limitation we are seeing with speed issue, BUYER BEWARE

Also getting 23 Mhash from mine

Zotac, EVGA, Gigabyte -- MSI is the only one that performs at 18mhash.

[ScottRosenberg2]

The stock memory clock on my evga card is 7604 I can raise that to about 8100, but if I go higher, I start getting errors The newer 1060 has 9000 base memory 9000/8100 = 1.111 21 * 1.111 = 23.333 I think we're talking about physically different cards here with the same classification (geforce 1060)

I can raise my Samsung chipped rev1 1060 6GB from 8000Mhz to 9500Mhz no issues. Likewise, the rev2 Samsung chipped 1060 6GB cards that just came out with stock memory of 9000Mhz, even raised to 10k+ Ghz, as my screenshots above show, only get 20MH/s at best. Thinking about it now, I wonder if they have started using GDDR5X like in the GTX 1080 which makes it worse for mining. Specs on the Gigabyte website state that it is still GDDR5 thou?

[nicolasdanelon]

this is a pny 1060 6Gb, it can go up 22 maybe (barely) 24 mh/s but itsnt stable :/

[Kiryu141]

@nicolasdanelon I am not talking about the 8Ghz card overclocked to 9Ghz. I am talking about the new GTX 1060 6GB models that have a STOCK 9Ghz memory overclocked to 10Ghz. Please read the OP properly

Hi Kiryu, I try the same 9gbps aorus like you, with the same problem. Still unsolved. But I find out, that the memory controller load is not running on 100% like on my other gtx cards. Max load I can see is 88%, so there is maybe another 12% we can get from it? But it will be still only cca 23MH/s, like on the 8gbps versions.

[Kiryu141]

lolosrot, I ended up returning the card to where I bought in and stuck to using the 8Gbps GTX 1060 6GB instead. I have noticed also that all my cards gained extra 5% performance from 190Mh/s to 200Mh/s for my rig (7x 1060 6GB and 1x 1070 8GB) when I upgraded to Claymore v9.7 but I have not tested the 9Gbps on it. Additionally, nVidia have released a new driver (384.94) which may also help with any performance issues.

[lolosrot]

Well, i'm using 1070s and rx 470 in my rigs. This one was bought for testing purposes, because I was curious, what can 9gbps ddr5 do... Anyway, I move it to my sons gaming PC replacing old 750ti.

[Kiryu141]

@lolosrot I am only using GTX 750ti for all my gaming lol. I would highly recommend you try Claymore 9.7 if you are not already using it with your setup. I am getting roughly 1 Ethereum every 2 weeks 7x GTX 1060 6GB + 1x GTX 1070

OH MY GOD , WHAT A WAY TO KILL ALL MINERS NVIDIA !

[marktellez]

Just wanted to chime in, my 1060 EVGA FTW 3GB gets 25mh, while my Strix 1060 6MB gets a paltry 18mh. Both are OC'd vias nvidia-settings running on ubuntu. They are running like cool-hand luke at 80% fan. 33c and 43c.

ETH: GPU0 25.215 Mh/s, GPU1 18.651 Mh/s
GPU0 t=43C fan=80%, GPU1 t=32C fan=80%
