Zotac 3060TI LHR - NBMiner 39.4 - Unstable Hashing and Power (ETH)

[CrazyMoyo]

Hello

Am trying to lock the hash rate for my Zotac 3060TI LHR with Hynix Memory but it seems an impossible job.

Am using HiveOS 0.6-210@210921 with NBMiner 39.4 and drivers N460.91.03

I’ve tried the below

Core - Memory - Power Limit
-502 - 870 - 130PL
-502 - 950 -PL
-502 - 2450 - 130PL
-500 - 2000 - 140PL
1350 - 2000 - 125PL
1360 - 1950 - 140PL
100 - 1250 - PL
1550 - 1700 - 170 - PL

Can reach 41Mh with some of the above but then it drops and power consumption is not stable.
Miner start with LHR 69 and drops to 68 and LHR Lock detected message is shown.

Is anyone having the same card who managed to stabilise it?

Thank you in advance

Stable settings ~41mh/s on KFA2 3060ti (hynix) on nbminer 39.2:

driver: nvidia 460.91.03
mem offset: +2000 (GMClk 7800)
core offset: -500
power limit: 150 watt
(fan: 60%)

cmd: nbminer -i 100 -a ethash … (default lhr setting)

I’m also experimenting with nbminer 39.4 and the new low-power mode, the following settings looks fairly stable (~41MH/s):

driver: 470.63.01
mem offset: +2000MHz
core (locked): 1500MHz
power limit: 200watt (default - as recommended)
(fan: 60%)

cmd: nbminer -i 100 -a ethash -lhr 68.7 … (default lhr-mode)

EDIT: 39.4 was very unstable with nvidia 460.91.03, so try a newer driver first.
EDIT2: Updated 39.4 settings

Thanks a lot @mthoring

I did tried this morning the 39.4 settings bellow
driver: 470.74
mem offset: +2000MHz
core (locked): 1500MHz
power limit: 200watt (default - as recommended)
(fan: 60%)

LHR Lock detected kicks it after some time and so far is stable at 68.8 with 122.4Mh (around 40+ each)

EDIT: LHR Lock detected now 68.7
EDIT2: Power varies from 91w to 136w per gpu, is that normal?

[mthoring]

No worries!

After 18 hours at 68.5 the LHR setting auto-lowered to 68.4. Still going strong at 40.5-40.8mh/s.

According to the nbminer release notes, power fluctuations is to be expected with the new lhr-mode introduced in 39.3. A way to lower the average power usage without tripping lhr-detection, I suppose.

By averaging the power usage output from nbminer over the last 24 hours I get 123watt, which is a great improvement from 39.2 where the card needed around 25watt more for similar performance.

I’ve noticed that my rig runs for couple of hours and then stops mining using these settings.

I get the error below

Cuda Error: all CUDA-capable devices are busy or unavailable (err_no=46)

Maybe I need to lower the clocks a bit?

[mthoring]

Yeah, probably need to lower mem clock a bit.

Same problem with my GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ZOTAC Hynix

I had to change Flight Sheet to work with NBMiner 39.2 and now my rig is stable again

[scubammx]

i have the same issue , but the problem is that even is it goes stable at 39/40mh for a few hours , the real hashrate at the pool is much much lower …
i have 7 x 3060 ti lht asus for a total in hive oh 263Mh , but the average at the pool is 160mh …
after 30+ hours not solved the problem…
Cause ergo now is not profitable ,and CNGPU/MTP/RVN are too much hot and power requirements i would like to stay for a while with ETH with these 3060 ti lhr , i dont care to have 41mh … do someone have a stable OC settings that can give me 35/36mh but STABLE ?

[CrazyMoyo]

For my Zotac the clocked mentioned above are stable. Regarding the pool hash rate, did u try to switch pool to check?

[CrazyMoyo]

If you want less hash rate but more stable try the below

Core: -300
Memory: 1150
PL: 139

Tested on NBMiner 39.5

[scubammx]

thanks i will try

1605 1800 165

[CrazyMoyo]

With NBMiner 39.7

Core Clock: -502
Memory: 1450
Power: 130

[CrazyMoyo]

Did anyone has better or similar results and with lower wattage?

[NomadMiner]

Try 1350 fixed GPU clock and 1400~1450 on memory clock on. I am getting 120W.

[CrazyMoyo]

With NBMiner 39.7? How much Mh?

Thank CrazyMoyo - Was able to squeeze few more MH from your settings.
