Topic: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option - page 144. (Read 409662 times)

I know large farmers that pay for reading ANN for them
If u want more profit it`s better to mine even ZEC or ETH then give your rigs to NH

I know large farms running NH - since they dont have the time to read every ANN they pay NH to do it for them.

dude, if you will forget about nicehash and mine ZEC on flypool directly and will be wise when selling what you have mined
I'm sure you can easily make twice per month what have you mined on nicehash!
nicehash is pure evil.

nice advice, thank you dude !

The problem with Nicehash is that it is a multi-algo system - different algos and miners respond differently to tweaks. But still, you can download MSI Afterburner and set your power level to about 75%. This will save a lot of poer and heat but only have a minimal (10%) impact on hash power.

GTX 1070Ti is only "better" in terms of initial $ outlay per MH.

In all other aspects the 1080Ti is better. A 1070Ti will not get 935MH at 70% TDP.

Read the last 2-3 pages....

Thank you very much for the feedback. My target for the GPU to be purchased is both mining and gaming. So more/most powerful single card is more favorable in this purchase.

I will buy a high end GPU for my PC. I actually already have 1 NV 3x1080Ti rig and 1 AMD rig with 6 RX series.
I will also use GPU on my PC to mine when it is idle which would be around 18 hours a day.
Other times daily use, gaming etc.

For now, like today with sales: RX Vega Liquid is 800USD for me and Zotac GTX1080 Ti AMP Extreme Core Edition is 921USD from local market. Both brand new.

Considering I will mine with this card, local warranty is important for me so I will buy from local market but not Amazon

Anyways 1080Ti zotac is like 965/970USD and RX Vega is 1000USD/910USD from Amazon US/EU with shipping and tax.

Both price ans waranty wise, local market is better for me today.

RX Vega consumes more and provides less in gaming. Maybe this scene may shift in years as AMD cards age well.

1080Ti is vice versa and it is a beast now and mostly like to stay as a beast for some time as well.

I am more inclined to get another 1080Ti but also concerned about new NV GPUs to come.

If 2070/1170 equals 1080Ti in performance then 1080Ti will lose a lot value as happened is 980Ti vs GTX 1070

If I can ROI most of the cost in 6 months, this will not be issue though as I do not think we will see new gen NV XX70/XX80 before May 18 on the shelves.

Monitor will be either similar priced 1440P-IPS-Gync-144Hz or 4K-TN-Freesynch-60Hz depending on the GPU.

I am aware about the user experience differences for these two monitors with these two cards.

1080Ti would be better for 4K either with Gsync for Freesynch with pure performance.

4K IPS Gysnc is quite expensive when compared with these two.

I am mining with 1080ti rigs on nicehash. My earnings are like 1 electricity  1.5 me  of total 2.5 income. Electricty costs much more with nicehash . I need and advice here. Can I play with my ti s power? Optimizing the Power Usage and lower the power? will it work with nicehash? And is there a video that can Show me how to do it?

my point was not  to just compare the cards , but everything involved . because having 1 rog is much more cheaper to build , run and maintain then having 3 rigs .
vega-150w/h eth/xmr

While I agree with slots math in general and try to go for higher-end cards myself, this particular comparison of yours is not completely fair. You're comparing the best case scenario Vega consumption in cryptonight (150w) with the pretty average ETH consumption of Polaris cards. While in reality none of my Polaris cards consume more than 80-90W in Cryptonight. In ETH yeah, about 110-140W, but not in Cryptonight. So we're comparing 150W (and I'm not even sure every Vega can do this, seen plenty of 160-180W results from other users) for one Vega @ 1800-1950 H/s VS 240-270W from 3x Polaris cards @ at least 2250 H/s (that's assuming the memory is bad, and if it's good each Polaris can make 850 H/s so 2550 H/s). Not very impressive, but +300-750 H/s for extra 100W is not bad either. The ETH difference is too substantial to ignore though, it's literally 45 MH/s vs 90 MH/s, so extra slots and consumption are worth it here even for folks with expensive electricity.

1080 Ti does rule indeed.

1 vega=1 slot on mb=150w/h
3 polaris=3 slots on mb=~350w/h=more rigs= more heat=more hardware that could make errors
1080ti rules

Thank you sir

Still worth to MINE? I want to buy one. Which coin is the best to mine with the 1080Ti right now??

You don't have to compile it https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-msvc2015/releases

Does some one have a guide on how to "compile" or whatever needs to be done with a repository like DJm34 ccminer

https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-msvc2015

I was looking for the basic release where you just put the batch files in but I couldn't find it.

Not sure how to get it going. Says path not found when i run a normal batch through teh folder. . . Clearly I need to alter these file some way just not sure waht I'm doing.

Not even sure the proper terms so google is no use either. Hopefully i've made enough sense to relay what I'm trying to do.

Same thing you'd mine with 10 or 50 of them. Whatever is more profitable at the moment. I'm mining BTX right now. There might be better coins out there though, skein algo was mentioned a couple of times here recently, and the power consumption on skein should be less than on BTX. 
Not an easy choice. On one hand 1080 Ti is just a more powerful GPU in general, and outperforms vega in gaming and most of the mining algos. On the other hand, cryptonight coins seem to be doing well and have been doing well for a bit.. long enough, actually, that I personally know a dude that has already ROId his water cooled Vega's. So, obviously for cryptonight vega is the king, and for ETH it's doing quite well as well. But then again, a water-cooled Vega is what — $700? If you're willing to bet on cryptonight/eth, you might as well get ~ 3*rx 570/580 cards for about the same price, and they'll be noticeably faster on cryptonight and ~two times faster on ETH. So, I think between the two I'd pick a 1080 Ti.

What would you mine if you have a single 1080Ti?

Would you prefer RX Vega 64 Liquid or 1080Ti for similar prices?

the same way the price compare

What kind of hash rate and power consumption do you get for the 1080ti?

How does this compare to the 1070 and 1060?

Is running a six GPU rig feasible?
