Geforce GTX 1030: Overclocking and lowering power consumption
After the above indicators of profitability, it makes no sense to seriously talk about how to overclock 1030 for mining. By increasing the memory and core frequency, you can achieve an increase in the hash rate by 10-15%. The 1030 video card has consumption in mining and so only 30 Watt, even if it was possible to lower it to 25 Watt, it would not change much.
With such a hash, mining is pointless, even if you do not pay for electricity. And if the GTX 1030 card itself got free, then it is better to sell it and invest the proceeds in cryptocurrency or assembling a mining farm on efficient GPUs than to waste energy resources.
Conclusion
The GTX 1030 GPU is unusable for mining. If you want to build a budget mining farm from Nvidia video cards, stop at the GTX 1660Super, or, at worst, just the GTX 1660, although cards with the Super prefix develop a higher hash rate with the same power consumption and are not much more expensive.
As for AMD products, the old proven RX 570/580 models are still relevant, but it is better to buy new Navi graphics adapters with 6-8 GB of video memory. Assembling a mining farm requires a certain investment and excessive savings is inappropriate here. You’re just throwing your money away. Happy mining!
