Geforce gtx 1060 manages to mine cryptocurrencies at 22 mh / s + 65w

Many people are seriously considering investing in cryptocurrency mining, an increasingly common practice and there are already different manufacturers who are starting to market their own graphics cards designed solely for mining Bitcoin , Ethereum or any other virtual currency. One of the most recommended cards for this task on the Nvidia side is the GTX 1060, due to the consumption and power it offers.

The GeForce GTX 1060 FTW demonstrates its incredible results for mining

By courtesy of LegitReviews , we see how you can get the best hash rates out of it without your power usage skyrocketing.

When mining cryptocurrencies, energy consumption is essential, since what we earn by mining can easily go to pay our electricity consumption at the end of the month. With the following configuration we can obtain a good hash speed and without so much energy consumption, improving our profit margins.

The graphics card used is the GeForce GTX 1060 FTW + 6 GB, which costs around $ 250, this model comes with a double custom fan.

In the table above we see the hashrate that we achieve with different memory speeds (overclocking), power, temperature, power target and fan speed.

With the following configuration, it was possible to achieve a hashrate of 22.1 MH / s but consuming about 65W, instead of 109W as we saw in the table above.

This result is achieved thanks to lowering the power target to 45% and overclocking the memory to 9.5GHz, where it remains stable. With this configuration we not only lower the consumption to 65W, but also the temperature to 58 degrees, maintaining an optimal speed in the hash rate.

It is estimated that a single of these cards would be giving a profit of $ 138 per month. Imagine what 6 of these cards could do on a single motherboard like the MSI Z170A Gaming M5?
