hey what's up everybody welcome back to
another episode of crypto miner tips and in today's tip we're gonna be talking
about the 1066 gig we're gonna be covering the hash read the mining
performance and profitability so it's gonna be a full review about this card
and also too I'm gonna be discussing some potential coins that you can mine I
do get asked quite a bit you know quite a bit of questions about this card I
think that there's a lot of them out there on the market a lot of gamers have
them and stuff like that and so you know I get asked you know what should I be
mining what this ten sixty or is it even a good card to mined and so we're gonna
be discussing all that today and just kind of going over it and as always I'm
gonna have links down in the description so you can check it out I actually
published an article recently about it and you know you know the thing about
the 1060 card is it wasn't a popular choice when it first released in 2016
that was around the time that the rx4 70s in the four 80s from AMD and also to
you know the RX 5 80s but you know as those cards became sold out in the 2017
the 2060 did become a pretty popular option so there's a lot of miners out
there that built rigs with them and so you know there's still quite a few of
them on the market and so I just kind of wanted to discuss you know some of the
hash rates and stuff like that now for those that are new to mining – the other
thing I want to mention is you're probably wondering if you can mine
Bitcoin with this especially if you're brand new to mining you probably read
some article that you could mine Bitcoin with the GPU and they're you know
hypothetically yes you could download a Bitcoin mining client in my Bitcoin with
that with that card but you're not gonna want to because you would be competing
against a6 so again if you're new to mining you're not gonna want to mine
Bitcoin with this card you're gonna want to try to you know mind some alt coins
and stuff like that and so you know when you get down into the hash rates and the
power consumption I've actually built a few rigs with this card and you know it
can mine somewhere around 20 2:22 mega hashes on aetherium and it
gets a power consumption of around 90 watts now these settings obviously are
achieved through overclocking and so if you're not familiar with overclocking
you know it's a way to kind of you know tune the cards so that it mines more
efficiently you can speed up the hash rate so you can lower the power
consumption and get better overall efficiency out of it and so to get that
result you would have to you know do some optimization the same thing with
all these you know and also to I kind of want to mention because I do get asked
from time to time you know you know what's the hash rate on the Monaro and
so you don't want a mine monaro with this card typically what you want to do
is again you want to try and mine some other altcoins or stuff like that and
I'll get into that in a minute but mineiro is actually recently switched
over to a cpu my noble algorithm called random X and so it's no longer feasible
and profitable to mine a Manero with a GPU you actually get penalized for doing
that so I wouldn't recommend that another popular coin in the past you
know where I get asked about the hash rate is Z cache and yes the the 1060 a
lot of the nvidia cards z cache was a very very popular coin to mine and you
could mine right around 300 to 320 souls while drawing about a hundred watts from
the wall which is pretty good right but you're not gonna want to mine z cache
with this coin either or with this card either sorry about that
because z cache has actually been invaded by ASIC miners so you don't you
know it's kind of like the same thing as mining Bitcoin you don't want to mind z
cache with these with any GPU anymore just because you're gonna be competing
against more more advanced miners and so it's gonna make you less profitable so
some of the best coins to mine right now that I picked out based off of some of
these calculators here obviously and I have links down to this as well from
miner stance this is the mining calculator for the the ten six
here and one of the popular coins is gonna be grin you can make right around
about 46 cents a day right now if you were to mine grin the other popular coin
that I've been mining with even the 10 50 T eyes is a on and the thing I really
like about a on is that you can mine it and then you could put it in a staking
wallet and kind of double mine it so you can you can actually proof of stake that
coin and you can proof of work that coin so what that means is you could use your
graphics card to mine say let's let's say you mind up a thousand Aeon coins
over the course of like three weeks something like that you could take those
thousand coins and instead of exchanging them for Bitcoin you could lock them in
a staking wallet on the a on blockchain and accumulate even more coins so that's
a pretty solid project again not financial advice but I've done some
research about that product project and it is a very very solid project the
other coins that I would recommend is aetherium aetherium according to what to
mine and again I'm going to have a link down the description below to this
aetherium is a very solid project to mine with the Nvidia 1060 right now also
so is aetherium classic so I do have those two listed as my top
recommendations given the current market situation you know you obviously you're
gonna accumulate way more coins if you decide to mine aetherium classic but
that coin isn't worth as much again grin is a very solid coin to mine with this I
would definitely look into mining some grin there it is right there aetherium
classic so what kind of what I do with this to see what coins I should mine
with these graphics cards is just kind of look at the calculator on what to
mine and look at the calculator on miner stats and just kind of compare them and
see you know the similarity so you can already see that we have grin at the top
here you know we have grins somewhere at the top here as well you know you got a
theorem classic again we got a theorem classic here you got you know this is
recommended eath hash which is probably somewhere around this is probably either
aetherium classic or etherium for nice hash so you just
kind of want to look at these two and kind of compare them and just test it
and see what works best for you so the other coin that I would recommend that
isn't necessarily on this list maybe it might is it might be on this list but
let me check as beem beem is another very solid project to mine with nvidia
cards so if you're looking to accumulate a spec coin hang on to it long term and
sell it as it goes up I would definitely look into bheem so you know as far as
like the current profits go with the 1060 now this is again this is the six
gig version if you got the three gig version you know I'm not sure what you
should mind with that card I don't own any of those I know that you can't mine
aetherium there's a lot of you know with it only being three gigabytes
you can't mine a whole lot with the three gigabyte cards so you know I would
recommend trying to trade that card in if you have a three gigabyte version and
try to get you a six gigabyte card but on the high end you know you're looking
at probably somewhere around eighteen cents a days which you would make with a
card like this now keep in mind the market is kind of suppressed it's kind
of low so once the market bounces and returns these profits would be much much
higher you know and in kind of the kind of wrap this up you know so is that is
the 1060 good for mine is it a good card to mine with and I will say this if you
can pick it up on the second-hand market on eBay for right around a hundred to a
hundred and twenty bucks I probably you know I might pick a few of these up but
here's the thing to keep in mind there's way better cards out there such as the
1660 ti the 1660 super also the 2060 super or you know you can even get some
pretty good sick deals on a 588 gig card and so if you're looking to buy
something brand-new I would not recommend buying the 1060 brand-new just
because they are listed for like right around 400 bucks on Amazon I can't find
the link right now but let me see here where was one at
here's a 1060 they get it listed for that's not too bad 220 but some of these
were listed at about 400 dollars and I was just like man that's a real
expensive price to pay especially when you can get you know a 1660 ti4 right
around 279 bucks and you can get actually get better performance so you
know my my conclusion is this yes it is a good card for mining still I truly
believe it's still gonna be a good card to have especially once the market
returns but again I would not look at going out and buying it brand new I
would look at eBay and try to pick it up for like a hundred 120 bucks
most of these that I'm seeing here going for like 165 190 somewhere in that area
so you know keep that in mind um you know if you already got one then go
ahead and mine with it but if if you don't have one I would strongly suggest
again look at the second-hand market don't buy it brand new there's way
better cards so I have a link down the description below to this blog article
that we just published go ahead check it out and if you guys haven't already I'll
have a link down the description below for this as well sign up for our private
Facebook group we answer a lot of great questions in there we try to help people
out that are new to mining and even if you're not new to mining go ahead join
us we'd love to have you in there and that's really it for now so I hope you
guys are all out there staying safe I hope everybody's having a you know as
good a time as you can on the quarantine and that's really it be on the lookout
for the next video and you know get ready because we're gonna have some more
content coming your way so that's it we'll see you next time
