I'll have my 3x1080ti order shipped by monday, by far i think they are the best cards for mining. Got 2x MSI Gaming X on board, ordered another one, one Zotac Amp Extreme core & one Asus ROG Strix. Choosed different ones because of sale and stupid 1GPU/Customer restrictions.

Leass, have you tested (very likely though) all these cards side-by-side with default settings? I've been wondering how big of a difference there is between them. Would anyone spend that extra money if the cards actually hash at the same rate with stock factory settings.
One of the reasonings for spending extra is relying on the resale price in the future. For example, buying second hand Galax/KFA2 or Gigabyte Aorus 18 months later? It's like, Galax who, but costs less for sure and could earn you the same money while crunching bits.

The best thing about 1080ti is density. You got 1 card, 1 riser set, 2 power supply per 6xrig (or server psu) and you're getting 2 full 1070 rigs with cost of 1 MOBO, 1 CPU ,1 RAM , 1 HDD and 1 OS.

One 1080ti rig will never be 2 full 1070 rigs, especially if you are mining ETH.

Its ~36MH per 1080ti and ~30MH per 1070. So thats more or less like 1 1080ti rig = 1.2 1070 rig (36/30=1.2).

It actually depends on the scale of mining you want to do. 1070s will ROI faster if you just plan on mining at home.

no one should be mining eth...

Well, IMO if You are mining for ROI there is a lot of better altcoins (and algos for 1080ti) to mine than ETH that will bring You overall same or more BTC/ETH than 2x1070rigs.
That will kill ROI. Dont mine ETH with 1080ti. Mine alts and trade to crypto of your choice.
For sure autotrading is best ROI killer. When you are making ~3.5$/day but could have cashout once a week and get 7$ per card.
BUT if you want to hodl, yeah ETH could be good bet.

Mining Eth on a GTX 1080 Ti is like wanking with a cheese grater... slightly amusing but mostly painful. There are plenty of far better options out there for that particular GPU. Imo, if your budget can afford it then a 6 x GTX 1080 Ti rig is the best option out there.

Reading about 1070 -makes me feel like buying two 1070 is better than getting 1 x 1080ti

For example 1070 guys are getting ~ on average 400-450 sol - with 1070 single out of box. The 1080ti is getting 700-740 with +150 core and +300 memory.

Skein 1070 are getting 450-550 - 1x 1070

and 1080ti get 900-990 - with overclock.

Cost wise 1080ti is around what 900-1k

Dual 1070 similar cost ?

1080ti costs about 1.8x what a 1070 costs, for 1.6x the hashrate.

but there are a lot of benefits to a single card, fewer cables and risers, less troubleshooting, and if you want to game with it a 1080ti is superior to SLI'd 1070 cards in almost every single benchmark

what klondike said + i don't see big crash in crypto coming this year, but if it does, i see 1080ti reasale value being much better than 1070. percentage wise

Aorus 108tti extreme cards might not be the best, or the cheapest BUT they have 4 year warranty

Choosed different ones because of sale and stupid 1GPU/Customer restrictions.
But as far as I see Zotac has 5 years warranty and boosted clock, can't find any recent informations about Asus, can any owner share stats?

Guys,

I have an inquiry- why do you look at values in USD ? - isn't that harmful because USD itself fluctuates ? if you believe in a coin- shouldn't one accumulate and then exchange ?-

It could literally change within seconds. SIGT doesn't even have a charting service yet on tradingview for me to look at a long term view.

For example-i'm still mining ZEC because it is a very good option for my card. That's it- I'll convert them once it rises.

That's my outlook.

USD is teh most stable and strongest currency on the planet . . .

What do you imagine is stable?

proof - the chinese put trillions in cash reserves in our dollars because it's so strong. They have no other options

edit - as to why a lot of us cash out...Look up opportunity cost

well Euro is still stronger: 1 EUR = 1.17USD

...

The British pound is very strong by that metric too, or was

No one with sense would put their cash reserves in teh Euro

Based on simple empirical approach, pointing 1080Ti towards XZC, got me into believing that accumulating this coin is actually worth it. lyra2z algo stresses GPU a lot less - temperatures are lower more than 10C° @100% TDP (default settings) compared to ZEC statistics. Power graph shows ~2.4kW for XZC and 2.7kW when hashing ZEC. All about marginal gains these days ...

Games aside, just for mining. Makes it seem like- 1070 dual instead of 1x1080ti is a better choice. Is that why they are selling like hot cakes compared to 1080ti?

that's not how investment works-cashing out at the first sign of pain. I won't get into an argument because we both have different set of beliefs.
I feel like- cashing out at times when you make $4 a day where it used to be $10 - is a huge loss. That's like buying high and selling low lol Either way -you are the master of your domain.

Sniff is optimized for 1080ti that's only difference I think. Can I disable one guy from mining by -cdri number in Sniff bat? Can't test it right now, but want to split rig for btc auto convert and strict nist5/skein mining to check differences.

use nemominer 1.7.3 for split rigs

... did anyone see what I wrote?

Well I saw what You wrote, but that wasn't answer to my question

I want to enable only one card for algo switching, and I'll launch separate miner for one algo only. Just wonder if I can pass -cdri into bat file or I have to add it in every miner .ps1

the benching will be off.... yes even if you fix it once it will do it again

why I use nemominer 1.7.3 then add arguments Wink
