z270a motherboard its ok then. Best models of 1080ti to mine? founder edition, asus strix, gigabyte aourous xtrem? Or is it not important?
I got many FE 1080tis and 2 Evga 1080ti SC2. The Evga cards mine Skein at 970 - 980mh/s while the FEs do 920 - 950mh/s, all at 80% TDP. I guess because the FEs are hitting 75 degrees, they may be throttling slightly.
My FE cards were bought at $659, while the Evga was $719. FE cards are still better value, but if it's just $20 difference, might as well get a dual or triple fan design, their resell value is better too.
