im running 2 1060's and one is at 54c and the other is 55c. it's all on how ya clock em. currently looking into a 1660, else im going to keep building out a 1060AMP rig. (hopefully with samsung memory.) Would like to see ERGO as a possibility as well.

I am in the same boat bMeister1. I have a few 1065 4gb cards. They are all but done. Mining etchash low memory but other than that that are useless.
Wish I could grab something newer but I would have to sell a kidney to afford it. Then you have to wonder when Nvidia is going to nerf the hash on it.

You know, if the hashrate isn't terrible, you could stand to make more money with those cards doing ETC instead of Ethash-LowMemory; usually does about 1-2c/Mh higher. But yeah, nVidia seems to be very anti-mining with their main GPU lines right now. I can't say for certain yet but it sure seems like the latest driver update (471.96) has dropped my hashrate by 1MH and even a more aggressive OC hasn't put me back up to where it was. Very odd...

...then there's AMD going "Hey man, you wanna mine crypto? We programmed a setting to automatically optimize the cores for that! Also check out these cool mining rigs we helped build! xD

I will try switching over to ETC and see how they do. Thanks for the tip.

The Minerstats 3070 is without a doubt the best graphics card on the market for most people. It delivers performance on par with the 3060 ti ftw ultra at less than half the price, truly bringing 4K gaming to the mainstream for the first time.
