jtmining17 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have a question about using multiple gpus for mining. I just purchased a second gpu for my mining rig and the hash rate seems to have dropped... My single gpu would pull about 39mhash but now that I have two gpus in my rig they both only pull about 35 mhash each. Anyone else ever expirence this and is there a way to increase it back up? I haven't changed any settings so it shouldnt have dropped in theory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungork Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 What card are you using? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmining17 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 2x Gtx 1060 6gb i updated the drivers last night and it's back up... wasn't sure if there was a technical chokepoint I didn't know of in using a riser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkillb Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The GPU running the monitor may have less hash as well, so be aware of that if you have a monitor plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmining17 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I use VNC for remote access. I updated the drivers and the mining software, still about 3mhash below what it 'should be' but I can't really complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetchmygold Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 did one come overclocked? and did you do any clocking yourself to either of them? sometimes different memory as well even in the same brand and type of cards. They call it the silicone lottery  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmining17 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 They're both msi 1060gtx 6gb oc editions... have the power set at 80% and the core clock at +200. Brings the miner back to stock hashrates but at 30w less power and is stable at intensity level 20 (will mine at 21 but with some stability issues). of course right now there is a huge undersupply in cards and the cards you do find are 2-3x the price they were 3 months ago.

Fetchmygold Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 i'm not sure I have never had that issue. does it reset your clocks when you start mining? if so I would say it is a driver issue. If not one is probably Samsung memory and the other one is Hynix, I don't recall memory affecting power draws though just how well they clock. I really wanted to do a 1060 build, but same issue I couldn't find any for a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmining17 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I use MSI Afterburner for the overclock, it boots up when the computer starts. So it stays at those settings at any point except at a driver crash. The Samsung/Hynix VRAM doesn't make a difference in mining DNR as it isn't memory intensive. I like the 1060, it's a great mid/high end card just wish I had purchased more while they were still affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
