Guys I want to start mining but I've been going through the numbers and 1080Ti's are laughable in terms of profitability compared to an S9. I've used Nicehash numbers to come up with this hypothetical built (for which I don't have the money yet lolz) because I'm new to mining and don't know much about algorithms and other pools, etc.

16x1080Ti earnings per month: 0.195BTC
16xS9 earnings per month: 1.399BTC

16x1080Ti (JUST the GPUs) price: 13k
16xS9 (with PSU+shipping) price: 25k

No electricity in the calculation and the price for the other components needed to have the GPU rig done are not yet included. This means you pay less than double the price for S9 but get 7 times the earnings. Someone explain to me why exactly GPU mining is "profitable"? Sure you can make money with it but it's not as profitable as mining with S9 on Nicehash. o.o

For me the S9 calculation, including price, psu, shipping costs, and taxes/customs comes out to almost 35k$. The S9 has very good profitability, but such numbers are variable

Mining LUX, with ccminer 2.2.2 31MH on 1080ti . Some people reach 40MH with spmod. I'll settle with regular ccminer.

Damn right. SP mods are very costly to buy (lol @ donate). If you have a small number of cards, you will never ROI on your software purchase.

Team Black developer

The phi algo is hot now on the 1080ti with the sp-mod (0.05btc donation) pm for details.

According to whattomine LUX,

ccminer 1 gtx 1080ti 31MH is $9.40 / day.
ccminer spmod 1 gtx 1080ti 40MH is 12.00/day.

OK killawatt has been ordered!

Does the miner benefit more from core clock or memory clock? I've read conflicting info.

Really depends on the algo.

For example, on Lyra2Z I can set memory down all the way to -502, Core +100 and TDP to 60% and still get 3200+ KH.

Skein has a sweet spot at similar settings but 70% TDP

For eth and all coins on the same algo, it's memory speed. My 1060 farm is at 65% TDP, +100 core, +700 mem (Thank you MSI for using Samsung chips) and get 24MH per card at 67w per card. For the 1080Ti the settings would be similar but I haven't tested the memory overclock stability level yet.

For lyra2z there is no difference between 60 or 100 tdp as far as this algo doesn't use more than 60 on any gpu. (On some it is even 45)

Certainly SLI is irrelevant for mining.

Some of us are using our systems for mining and gaming both. This was the reason for asking if you can use two different models/brands in one computer and if so does SLI work.

I mined the same card with/without sli and I couldnt see a difference. Maybe someone can confirm this ?

Is it possible to run two different model 1080 ti gpu in one computer? Can you put them in SLI?

Yes it is possible, I have different models/brands in my rigs. SLI is irrelevant for mining.

Mining w/equihash right now. My bad for not being clear on that.

As already said - depends on algo, but as usial green cards are the best at algos using core clock. It`s true except time, then some coin gives profit, that make u to forget about "usial using"

Did someone use this cards for mining? http://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=1002&lang=ru They are quite cheap, but I did never find any mentions on this cards

They're essentially just reference 1080Ti cards. Loud and poor cooling.

it depends on which algo you use. each are tune differently. so you need to read a lot of pages to find the one that you want or you can ask here and you might get some answer - direct or indirect sometime

With neoscrypt.

What soft should I use ?
I get 1330 mh/s/1080Ti when I use ccminer2.2.2

well I have likae about 1630 -1650 mh/s on neoscrypt with ccminer2.2.2 32 bit, this version slightly faster then 64bit
also important that you should use memory overclock @ maximum stable level, neoscypt loves memory speed

Hello,
My 2x 1080ti Strix OC are unstable, especially GPU2 with Equihash Cry

. I Tried with different OC settings, different versions- CUDA Zcash miner(0.3.3 /0.3.4b), different pools. Results are the same.. and have no idea why is that. If anyone has any suggestions i will be grateful.
Thank you!

What's your PSU? Did they crash when not OC?

PSU is Evga Supernova 1300 G2 80 Gold. Yes, they are unstable even while they are not OC. They work 100% stable, without any hesitation only with "NiceHash Miner". Maybe there is an option or setting that i miss somewhere...

With Equihash, Asus 1080 ti Trix can stable at +200, 1080 ti OC can stable at +100. Your setting and your PSU are fine. What's driver you use? Please post your *.bat setting and log errors here.

When you bring down tdp it downshifts your GPU, so voltage goes down, and core clock goes down. You can do , what is it crtl + f ? or some shortcut and modify your voltage/core clock curve manually. I believe that is what you are looking for
