Topic: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option - page 212. (Read 409677 times)

Awesome, thanks man, was using a wire but it had me scared it would fall out after awhile.. Just found it on the bottom of the box, works perfect!

alright, this is a nightmare.. i got the mobo running with both PSU's now..

my initial problem was that i could only get 4 running and the fifth 1080ti would cause a "Code 12" error.. insufficient resources.

so i did some research and found that I should change "pci e" settings to Gen 1, which I dont have but i do have the PEG0 and PEG1 "Max Link Speed" and I set those to Gen1.. It also said to change "Above 4G Decoding" to enable, so I changed that from disabled to enabled...

Now all 5 cards are working, but they are running like absolute garbage. The power is all over the place and they are getting 200sols, 300sols and 400sols, with maybe 1 at 600sol/s

I'm going to throw this rig into the street

my mobo is the MSI Z270 SLI PLUS (MS-7A59)


any help would be appreciated. Some say to install to windows 8 or 10, I may just buy a copy of windows 10 and try that out. Currently using Win7 x64

evga has a tester that you just plug into your mobo cable that fulfills this function just plugin the only piece thatll fit into your mobo connection thats in your box

Connect pin 4 and pin 5.

Trying to setup dual PSUs on my mobo... I received my 2nd PSU today and was supposed to receive the ADD2PSU connector today too but USPS delivered to the wrong address and they are trying to find it... I doubt we will have any luck receiving it so I'll probably have to reorder it.

Anyways, I want to hook them up and turn the other PSU on manually.. What would be the most reliable method in doing this? I'm running cables now. Thanks

Use Nvidia profile inspector to force p0. P0 is just to fix MC. So that it won't exceed stable MC on closing the miner. With P2 stable MC while running miner is 5800 (for example)?, and when closing miner for a short period it jumps to 6000 (for example) and driver crashes (or the whole system freeses). Thats all.

Hello, this is my first post however I follow this forum from a while (and thanks for your shared experience ). So please be patient if I share too obvious things.

I investigated the P states a bit earlier so let me share my experience. When you start or stop your miner then the GPU jumps to P0 for a second otherwise it runs in P2 during mining.
The P2 state has lower frequency settings than P0. When you OC your card then you set offsets. When you start/stop then the GPU switches to P0 and the same offset is applied to the higher base frequency. This leads to crash as it is too much to the card.
I have Asus 1080Ti Strix OC cards and EVGA 1080 (not Ti) FTW2 cards. With these cards I saw that the base core frequency is the same for P0/P2 but the memory is reduced to 5 GHz on the Asus and 4.5 Ghz on the EVGA. When I overclock the 1080Ti with +500 mem then it reaches the operation frequency (5.5 Ghz -> effectively 11 Ghz due to dual rate). So the OC sets the factory maximum in P2.
You can check the absolute frequencies in Afterburner on Windows and with nvidia-smi on linux. The base frequencies mapped to the P states are burnt in so we cannot change them.
The crash happens during the short P0 period when the GPU raises the memory frequency to the factory max, 5.5 GHz and it gets the OC offset as well which results 6 GHz which is too much to the GPU.

Here you can read more: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1010856/linux/how-to-force-performance-level-3-driver-381-22-with-gtx-1080-ti-/3

Nevertheless let me ask you how can you fix to the P0 (or any other) state on Pascal GPUs? I have both Windows and Linux machines so I'm interested in both OS.

Added more details below ////




2x 1080 TI + 1070 earning the same as 2x 1080 TI 4x 1070

(1.8k sol rig avg)


3k sol rig, avg 2.6k due to error, but its as if all 3 of the 1070s on the second PSU (connected add2psu PSU1 to mobo/cpu/all risers +pata to Add2psu / PSU2 mobo to add2psu+3x 1070 mini


nvOC_19 on both . .



Asked this in another thread but asking here as well if anyone could help me figure out what this issue is . .

P0 it's a question of stability when working close to max. P2 will crash when miner exit, P0 won't.

and you may used novaexchange as well!

by the way, Cryptopia defreezed SIGT, so you can withdraw it and send to other account : to your local wallet, yobit or nova and trade there

on YoBit however volumes would be higher I think, so it is wiser to send there

Hi man, still is EWBF 0.3.4b.

If you want to know an updated miner, go to bench tab on yiimp or zpool (don't remember which one have equihash listed) and narrow your search for this algo and your GPU.

^^

dont know, i think of dumping my bag, it seems that the sigt blockchain use old and not update protocol

What is your absolute clock settings?

I just noticed SIGT got out of "maintenance" on Cryptopia although I still seem to be missing a few days worth. It will going POS in 9.5 days so maybe worth holding?

I think an exchange dropping a coin is bad news for holders of that coin. In this case, I'd expect further drops in price of SIGT. I recommend that you sell your coins before it is getting too late. Other than rare cases, this is a common problem for some altcoins.

I choose all of the available pools. And it works well.

i just could not get my sniffdog run when i only have MPH as the pool. the url dont seems to be displayed on screen and it does not connect to the pool.

maybe anyone can share how your bat file looks like?

Hi!
How is your profitability in sniffdog at last few days?

And not Bitzure. Never Bitzure. It's a complete scam where people have lost their coins.
