GeForce GTX 1060 6GB — Hardware Overview

Learn more about this GPU, including its specifications, performance, and mining capabilities.

The GeForce GTX 1060 6GB presents itself as a compact but potent workhorse for crypto mining, a card whose dimensional economy disguises a clearly articulated engineering intent: 1280 CUDA cores on a 16 nm Pascal node, a base clock around 1506 MHz with a boost to roughly 1709 MHz, and an advertised theoretical throughput near 4.375 TFLOPS that together enable sustained algorithmic throughput well beyond casual expectations; paired with 6 GB of GDDR5 memory running at an effective 2002 MHz and yielding about 192.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, the card balances compute and memory subsystems in a way that favors memory‑dependent algorithms while retaining general-purpose flexibility. Practically this translates into predictable, repeatable hash performance across a range of commonly mined algorithms: historically it posts in the mid‑20 MH/s region on DaggerHashimoto/Ethash variants with tuned memory timings, scales to several hundred sols per second on Equihash instances like those used by certain privacy‑focused coins, and sits in the single‑digit to low double‑digit megahash range on heavier proof‑of‑work algorithms such as KawPoW, with real‑world figures heavily influenced by BIOS, driver versions, and the exact electrical and thermal headroom available. Power draw under load typically falls between roughly 65 and 85 watts depending on algorithm mix and overclocking choices, which makes the 1060 6GB efficient on a per‑watt basis when matched with sensible undervolt and memory‑centric tuning; thermal limits and VRM quality remain critical variables, because the card’s best sustained hash rates require stable voltage delivery and adequate cooling rather than maximum stock clocks. Beyond mining, the card’s DirectX 12 support and VR‑ready designation mark it as capable for high‑definition gaming and virtual reality tasks, but buyers and operators should account for lifecycle considerations: as a mid‑generation Pascal part it has moved into mature support phases where driver cadence has slowed compared with current flagship families, and that reduced update frequency can influence compatibility and subtle performance behavior in the newest mining software builds. In short, the GTX 1060 6GB is a versatile, low‑power option for diversified mining rigs-particularly where cost, power efficiency, and a favorable memory subsystem are the primary constraints-while careful tuning of memory, voltage, and cooling will determine whether it serves merely as a competent node or as a quietly formidable contributor to a larger mining deployment.

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Mining Profit Calculator — How to Use It

One GPU can mine many different coins. Here is how to read the table above and find which ones are actually worth mining right now.

1

Check the top summary card

The card above already shows your GeForce GTX 1060 6GB single most profitable coin and algorithm right now, along with daily income, electricity cost, and net profit at your current rate.

2

Scan the Mineable Coins table

Every row is one algorithm this GPU can mine: its hashrate, power draw, the coin's price, block reward, and network difficulty, plus the income, electricity expense, and daily profit for that specific coin.

3

Look for profit above $0

Out of every coin this GPU can technically mine, usually only a handful are actually profitable at your electricity rate at any given moment. Sort by Daily Profit to see those first.

4

Switch coins as prices move

Because this data updates continuously, the most profitable coin can change day to day. Check back or bookmark this page to keep mining whichever coin currently pays best on this hardware.

A single GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is general-purpose hardware, so unlike an ASIC miner built for one algorithm, it can technically mine dozens of different coins across multiple algorithms. That does not mean all of them are worth mining: at any given electricity rate, most of those coins will show a negative or near-zero daily profit once power costs are subtracted, while only a small number stay clearly profitable. This GeForce GTX 1060 6GB mining profitability calculator recalculates every row in the table above using live coin prices, current network difficulty, and block rewards, so the handful of coins showing genuine daily profit above $0 are the ones actually worth pointing your hashrate at right now, not a static list from months ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB — everything you need to know about mining with it.

Currently, Zclassic is the most profitable coin for GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, generating $0.20/day at 18.50 Sol/s on the EquihashZero algorithm. This profit is after electricity costs of $0.17/day at $0.080/kWh.

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB can technically mine dozens of coins. Algorithms supported: 16. Electricity rate used: $0.080/kWh. Coins on this page with a daily profit above zero: 4. Sort the Mineable Coins table by Daily Profit to see them ranked from best to worst.

Daily profit = Daily revenue from mined coins - Daily electricity cost. For GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, power consumption is 90W, costing $0.17/day at $0.080/kWh. Revenue is based on live network hashrate, block reward, and current coin price for each supported algorithm.

Every 1c/kWh increase reduces daily profit by $0.02. At $0.05/kWh, profit would be $0.27. Your current rate of $0.080/kWh yields a net profit margin of 53.8%.

This GPU supports 16 different mining algorithms including EquihashZero, Zhash, EvrProgPow. You can switch between coins instantly based on live profitability data from MinerCompare.

90W / 18.50 Sol/s = 4,864.86 W/KH/s. Lower is better. Top ASICs achieve 15-20 J/TH.

Yes! Undervolting and memory overclocking can improve efficiency by 10-30%. Use HiveOS, SimpleMining OS, or MSI Afterburner. Keep VRAM temperature below 60C for longevity. This can save up to $0.03 per day.

GPUs like GeForce GTX 1060 6GB retain 60-80% of their original price on eBay after 1 year of mining. High demand for gaming and AI keeps resale value strong, especially for NVIDIA RTX 30/40 and AMD RX 6000/7000 series.

Use the GPU Generations panel to compare GeForce GTX 1060 6GB with 8 generations of graphics cards. Filter by AMD/NVIDIA, VRAM, or algorithm to find the best performer for your budget and electricity rate.

Yes. GeForce GTX 1060 6GB can sell its hashrate on NiceHash, a hashpower marketplace rather than a traditional mining pool. Compare the NiceHash row in the Mineable Coins table against direct-mining coins: whichever shows the higher Daily Profit at your electricity rate is currently the better option for this card.
