Hello.
The GTX 1060 can be a very interesting card not only for gaming! It's price/perfomance/power consumption ratio can be one of the best at the market.
I have already tested GTX 1070 in games and mining and I can tell you, that this Pascal cards can give the battle to AMD!
If the top cards like GTX 1070-1080 have TDP below 200W (usualy about 140-170W), I expect smth about 100W from the GTX 1060.
GTX 1060 Specifications:
- GPU Engine Specs:
- 1280NVIDIA CUDA® Cores 1506Base Clock (MHz) 1708Boost Clock (MHz)
- Memory Specs: 8 GbpsMemory Speed 8000 Mhz
- 6 GB GDDR5Standard Memory Config
- 192-bitMemory Interface Width
- 192Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)
That means, GTX 1060 is about half of GTX 1080. But I think, the overall perfomance will be 40-50% less than GTX 1080 and 20-30% less than GTX 1070.
So, I expect such mining hashrates as:
Lyra2Rev2: ~30-32 Mhs with OC
ETHash: ~25-27 Mhs with OC
Blake (Decred): ~1800 Mhs with OC
Blake2s (b) (ex. Siacoin): ~1200-1300 Mhs with OC
Cryptonite (XCN): ~11-12 Mhs with OC
Neoscrypt (FTC): ~650-700 Khs with OC
LBRY: ~170-180 Mhs with OC
I think, these numbers will be very close to the true. It is remaining a bit of time to wait, so we will check this soon)
You know, that the cards will cost about 250$. You can calculate its profitability now.
The most profitable algo for now - LBRY - will give you about 4-5$ by each card.
