What kind of hash rates do the 1060's pull with overclocked memory in Zcash? If I have a 1080 as my primary GPU in my main rig, could I buy an extra 1060 and install it as a secondary card and have it mining all the time in the background?
In my case the core clocks are staying consistently ~200mhz lower than the other 2 1070s in the system.
basically i printed out my coinbase history and gave it to my accountant and let him do the taxes.
even if he figured them wrong (almost impossible to figure out what a coin was worth at the time i mined it) i figured i tried my best to do the taxes right.
if im audited at least i can bring my accountant in on it and the fact that i tried to do it right would count for something.. well hopefully anyway

I just bought a bunch of 1060s and 1070s. All but two have Samsung memory and all of those mine just fine. They're all overclocked to +700 on the memory.
How many cards do you have per rig? Dumb question but do you have your cards synced in Afterburner accidentally so the clocks you apply to the older cards applies to the new ones which may not be able to handle the same speeds?
Tried that and it upped the clocks but hashrate stayed the same. The only glaring difference I see at the same settings on each card is that the voltage on that one card is ~0.1V lower than the other two.Hmm, have you tried upping the GPU power for the first card from 60% to perhaps 65 or 70% to see if it still throttles? A drop of 200Mhz could also mean Windows is assigning a different pstate to the primary card but that's just a guess. For one of my Radeon 480 rigs I had to change "PCI Express Active State Power Management" to off to prevent GPU throttling.
How are you finding cards?I added two extra rigs for another 300 Mh/s and 1350W. This set up looks inconspicuous enough to sit in the living room. In the winter time, it'll turn out to be a fancy heater.
The bottom rig runs 5 PowerColorRX 580 Red Devil Golden Sample for 650W. Those are by far the quietest and coolest running cards of all the RX cards I have had. The top rig runs 5 ASUS RX 580 ROG for 700W. The heatsink on the ASUS allows for better air flow from the top of the card. You can definitively feel the heat those cards produce, but they seem to remain relatively cool with temperatures ranging from 51C to 61C (fans on auto). I have them running for about a week now and it is whisper quiet. The pulsing LEDs are a nice touch for a little show case build too.
I had someone offering me $10k to buy that stack which had me seriously thinking. Over a year. this stack has a potential earning of $21k+ profits. $10k now or $21k over a year... tough choice.

I've read that Pascal cards can show high clocks to monitoring programs but internally it is running slower. I guess that's what is happening.

Forgive me for not going through 133 pages to find this out, but what's been going on??
It seems there's been a major, major rush on all the new AMD cards and are near-impossible to get from stores. Has there been a recent boom in crypto-currency mining? Have I missed the train on this again?
If I bought some RX 580 today, how long would it take for it to pay for itself, let alone profit? Good? Bad? Dead? Booming? Too late to start?
Big thanks in advance... now to start slogging through 133 pages of mining discussion.

It depends on who you ask, and how you're mining. I've got 5x 1080ti's mining right now and doing very well. Having said that, lots of stuff is getting thin on numbers since people are basically scavenging whatever they can to mine with, so you may not get a chance to be picky.Wow... once again I've almost missed the train... but with a little luck I could snag one good video card and at least get on board a little.
AMD still outperforming nVidia for mining? A 1060 or 1070 seem to be the only cards in my price range since the AMD cards are sold out. No way will I buy a mining card unless new with extended warranty!
Pretty minimal. For a truly brutish setup you can increase the difficulty (which just sends you larger chunks at once to work on) but its small enough that I doubt it'd be noticeable.Last question (I think!) How is the mining process for internet bandwidth? Not an issue for the machines at home, but considering for the machine I take to work and tether my cell's data plan.
