Geforce Gtx 1060: Review 2021 | Test| Specs and Profit (Ethereum)

Reduced power consumption of the GTX 1060

If there is expensive electricity in your area, then you may want to reduce the power consumption of the video card in addition to overclocking it. By reducing the “Power target limit”, you will see how your hashrate simultaneously decreases, however, the decrease in the hashrate is much less intense than the decrease in power consumption. For example, reducing the “Power target” by -30% (70% of the nominal), you lose only 0.3 MHS / sec, which means that your card will now issue 23.5-24.7 MHS / sec with a consumption of only 80 watts.

Do not forget to make sure that you left the memory frequencies overclocked to 4700 MHz (+925) to achieve this result. Even with the average for the regions the cost of electricity at $ 0.1 per kW / h, reducing the energy consumption of VC will be a profitable step. Also do not forget that reducing the power consumption of a video card will help reduce the temperature of the GPU (in our case, up to 58 degrees Celsius).
