My Miner Gets A New Addition
<html><div class="text-justify">

With all the AMD cards being sold out I thought I'd give Nvidia a try after reading <a href="https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jerrybanfield/usd200-a-day-mining-ethereum-or-etc">$200 A Day Mining Ethereum or ETC?</a> by @jerrybanfield.  

I don't have much experience with Nvidia GPU's as I've always bought AMD.  I headed over to Amazon to do a little research.  I ended up with an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC for about $210. It seemed like the best card for the price and hash rate. I had looked at an MSI 1060 but one review by an ETH miner said that the card's fan speed was significantly higher than his EVGA 1060's.

It looks a little funny sandwiched in between the two ASUS R7 370's.

I'm currently running two R7 370's, 1 R9 380, and 1060 with a 750-watt power supply.

Currently, it is using 642.12w at default settings. Speed isn't too bad on NiceHash. I use NiceHash when I'm in between mining equihash and ethash and configuring.  Or just can't decide what to mine.

I'm probably going to add my old 500w PSU after I get it cleaned up. It seems stable at around 640 but I would rather be safe than sorry. Plus I'd like to do some tweaking to see what kind of speeds I can get out of it.

So much power. I'd love to join in, if only every video card on the planet wasn't sold out

Thank you for mentioning that you were inspired to research after reading my post because I copied the card you chose for my own mining rig setup!
