NVidia GTX 1060 3 GB stopped mine Ethereum and Ethereum Classic? What happened, and what coins to choose instead
Source:
In late August we the most profitable coins for mining on NVidia GeForce GTX 1070, 1080 and 1080 Ti. In addition to the Metaverse, in the top of also been found and Classic which brought a lot of money. At the current rates, farm of eight graphics cards GTX 1080 Ti earns only about $ 2 equivalent ETH, but this is not the main problem. In the case of the GTX 1060 3 GB simply stopped digging ETC and soon start up with Ethereum. Deal with the causes of the situation and choose a new coins for mining.
theto blame DAG
To say goodbye to ETC owners named card had due to the DAG file. The latter is a data block of a decent size that is loaded into GPU memory when running the miner. Without a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) you can not search for solution to the blocks in the networks of cryptocurrency on algorithm Ethash. Includes , Metaverse, , , , and others.
Every 30 thousand units a DAG size of the file increases — this procedure is also called a change of eras. To name the exact date and time of change of epoch is not possible, because blocks in the same network Ethereum can split from 10 to 60 seconds. Usually, however, the index tends to 14 seconds, so the reference framework is no problem.
On average every 5 days, the volume increases by approximately 10 megabytes.
According to some calculators DAG file, mining Ethereum on GTX 1060 3GB will end April 24, 2019, and mining ETC — 17 March. The information was inaccurate. For the past week on forums and chat rooms people are actively asking about errors that occur when mining ETH/ETC on their cards GTX 1060 3GB.
In short: the time of mining Ethereum Classic for NVidia GeForce 3GB 1060 has ended. Pull the Ethereum named model will cease in the near future.

the1060 GTX 3GB not mainit air. Why?
The Logic is simple. As soon as VRAM or video memory is not enough to run the DAG file that mining is canceled.
Today Ethereum is the era 229 and Ethereum Classic — 237. DAG files for these cryptocurrencies are 2.79 2.85 GB, respectively. Figures crept close to 3 GB and hence all the problems with the GTX 1060.
The Stock seems like it is, but some memory is reserved for other processes. For example, the connected monitor will have about 150-200 megabytes. As found by the moderator , without running miner with NVidia's first card in the farm (GPU0) consumes 22 MB of VRAM, while the remaining spend for 9 MB. Data relevant to drivers v396.54 and X-server v1:7.7+7.
In the end, in theory, have 3019 MB (2,94 GB) of available VRAM, but in reality the figure is even lower. Miners are differently placed the DAG in memory, causing the consumption of memory is also different. As a result, the length of any mining coins is reduced — this explains the inability of mining ETC is now.
theHow is the situation now
At the moment for the production of coins in the algorithm Ethash you can use the following miners: claymore, ethminer, phoenixminer, bminer, and finminer. There is still ccminer and sgminer, but they have not the best efficiency.
Forum Member have tested the above program on the GPU at number 4 and got the following numbers of memory consumption.
the claymore — 2998 MB;
the claymore with option-0 res — 2982 MB;
the ethminer 2980 MB;
the phoenixminer — 2998 MB;
the phoenixminer c option -0 res — 2982 MB;
the bminer 2980 MB;
the finminer — 2937 MB.
The parameters of the test stand for GPU4.
the Map — MSI GeForce GTX Gaming 1063 X 3GB memory Samsung;
the OC — Core: Mem -150: 1700 PL: 103;
the Linux — Kernel: v4.10.17, Driver: 396.54, Xserver-xorg: v1:7.7+7.

Given the above, production of the more demanding first map of the farm with the help of claymore and phoenixminer may not start. In most cases, the best options will be ethminer and bminer. The leader was finminer — it will allow Ethereum mine on the GTX 1060 3GB to the last byte of VRAM.
theThat mine on NVidia GeForce 3GB 1060
In the case of algorithm Ethash need to choose coins whose DAG-file is considerably less than 3 GB. For example, start mining now requires 2,02 GB of memory, and — 1,41 GB. Mining named of 1060 coins for roughly 3 GB will end in June 2020 and April 2027, respectively. Among the alternatives more on the algorithm Cryptonight. Her main trump cards is the profitability, energy efficiency, and the possibility of extraction on the CPU.
