I don't think voltage settings work at all. Just use the power limit slider. With AORUS Gigabte 1080 Ti's I can go as low as 150 watts (50% power limit). But that's too low.
When I talk about voltage with Pascal cards, I mean controlling it with curve in MSI AB. It definitely works, that's how I adjust all my cards. Although there's a chance that with setting PL to 50% the voltage could go even lower than 0.8V? What's the actual gpu voltage on your Aorus cards when your consumption goes to 150W?

Oh yeah, the curve method works, you're right but 800mV is too high for the lowest end unfortunately.

Looking at only one of my rigs, for 50% PL I get anywhere between 0.7620V to 0.7930V depending on the card (each card has it's more or less stable preference for the same clocks. something something, ASIC quality). Same figures for 3 different algos.

The 1080Ti is most efficient than the 1050Ti, I have both.
1050Ti power usage don't fall under 52,5 W.
1080Ti power consumption fall to 140 W.
1080 Ti consuming only 140W is a rare sight. It's probably even impossible to get this low consumption with many algos. I was running one of my 1080 Tis @ 0.8V — the lowest voltage MSI AB allows to set — and it was still consuming close to 200W mining BTX. How did you get 140W with your card(s) and on what algo?

Hi all

Looking at my 1st rig. Been mining with my gaming pc so far.

Question is

1050ti = 12mhs @ 40w = 0.3 Mh per Watt
1080ti = 32mhs @ 260w = 0.123 Mh per Watt

You can buy 4x 1050ti for 600 = 46mhs
You can buy 1 x 1080ti for 600 = 32mhs

Am i missing somthing?

Thanks yall.

to put it bluntly, the cost of 1080ti's is really putting me off buying 3 or 4 of them

But seems  like the best path for me to take.
If the fastest ROI is the main priority then 1080 Ti is rarely the best card. It's alright, but plenty of other options that should ROI faster.

Thanks for the reply guys,

I've been on Zcash so far. just for fun, on to make about $300

Its like comparing apples to oranges, the 1080ti does other algo's better than the 1050ti. stick to ETH if you don't want to make the profit your card deserves.

Mine ETH with a 1080Ti if you want to waste it. But mine coins like ZEC, XZC, BTX and your balance will shine.
1050Ti should do 14-15 Mh/s with right settings I guess.

There is a dedicated topic for 1050Ti ETH mining.

Enjoy.

What you're missing is that no one mines ETH with their gtx 1080 Ti. This is not the right card for this algo. If you'll compare these two cards in something like ZEC, for example, you'll see a different picture.
