gtx 1050 ti is not worth to buy or use to mine , very low hash rate around 11-13mh/s i think. at the minimum u should be getting 1060 6gb

Dual 1050 ti could be slightly more profitable than single 1060, but you're running 2 cards, rough estimation that will be 20-30% increase on power consumption.

Hi, may i know where r u based? I have mining rig hosting services based in penang area.

Your motherboard have PCI-E slots, right.?

Then use riser, will fix. Do check if your motherboard have on board display...

plug in the riser to pcie x4. 

is there anyway to make the retail GC memory controller load 100%? can't seem to find any solution

my 1060's are mining zec instead of eth cos slow for eth

Yes. By selling it off and buy mining card.
I assume you are using Nicehash? That's using Daggerhashimoto for ETH.

If you maxed out at 3MH/s (I assume this is not a typo), then it's Windows 10 update issue. Get the anniversary update and you are good to go.
But that does not mean we fix < 100% mem controller load issue. That's an entirely diff issue.

The mem load thing, so far no solution. nVidia is really sly..

I only mine ETH. So, what I mentioned was only true for ETH. Whether it's normal for Equihash to have non-100% memory controller load, I'm not sure. But you can refer to this calculator: https://new.nicehash.com/profitability-calc....1¤cy=USD
Equihash on GTX970 is around 292 Sol/s. That's the average performance for all GTX970 using the Nicehash. So your performance is still below the average out there.

Sadly this does not work for Pascal GPU.

all gtx1060 are nvidia. He is asking what brand 

for mining, most important part is the memory. samsung based memory perform best, followed by micron and lastly hynix (true for nvidia card only, amd user please dont bash me), this is based on my experience.

so if u can get a card, regardless of brand, which use samsung memory. you are in luck. most gtx1060 still available on the Malaysia market today are one with hynix, samsung memory all kena rembat already

i think this applies if you are mining ethereum..

I'm mining on 3 Nvidia cards(1080ti and 2 1070), but i'm mining Zcash. Zcash is more towards core clock speed..overclocking the memory does not improve the hashrate (Sol/s) ..but overclocking the core clock will benefit the hashrate.
I've tested by overclocking and underclocking my memory speed, the hashrate remains the same...
but if i switch and mine ethereum, then memory speed will come to play...

zcash is using equihash algo.. nicehash sometimes mine using equihash algo but i find using ewbf miner will get better performance..

like me, i mine zcash, deposit to bitfinex wallet.  and do exchange zec to btc or zec to eth...

that's what I did on equihash, i'll boost the gpu clock, decrease power limit around 75-80% , I wont do anything on memory clock..

if I want a quite efficient miner but sacrificing my hashrate, i'll set 65% power limit, +210Mhz gpu clock. This will get me roughly around 630Sol/s at 145watts on the 1080ti, and around 400 Sol/s at 90-100watts on the 1070..

but if you use nicehash, they tend to switch algo , so its better to boost both gpu and memory clock ..

mining is hard work..i doubt it is profitable

Hi there. I'm newbie in cryptocurrency. My pc running 24hours and i want to make use it for mining. Maybe starting with rx470 or gtx1060 for ethereum mining. How to setup my pc? Atleast my pc can generate some income. If the income good enough i can invest for a better hardware. Just for now i want to experience myself my pc generate some income. Otherwise still can use it for gaming. Any whatsapp group that i can join? Wanna be full time miner if successful.

Got, u can use a special direct link.
2280 is expensive.. No thanks. Just wait until dumping happens next year Q1..

i think only their bulk purchaser has it

Crytocurrency should not exist. I have been scammed by MNet.
