I'm just wondering does who has tdp at 80 for 24/7?  I been very careful not to damage the card for long term usage.  I keep it at under 75% tdp and temperature under 58c by the time it's night all the cards avg 45c.  So far I have 15 1080ti for more than 2 weeks and all of them work 24/7

this is like 2 days straight temperatures haven't reach 60c

Can you share your settings?

I have 2 1080ti's and never get under 70deg C.  70% TDP/73Temp Limit/+175 Core Clock/-500 Mem/75% Fan runs @ 175W on Skein.

I prefer doing minimum RMA and fan swaps. Stability is also an important issue because my farm is in  remote location, hence a preference for 80% TDP.

Sure you can run them 110%, the cards will be fine. It's probably 5-10% more hash rate than at 80% TDP, but 37.5% more power usage. Do the spreadsheets to see if the extra hash offsets the extra power usage.

It's not a huge deal if mean time before failure is 10 years or 5 years. Just that there's a higher chance of card failure, and more heat to deal with, unacceptable for large farm owners. Remember dead cards are out of action while RMA, and you may have to pay shipping, and it's a lot of unnecessary work.

All very valid points - especially the increase hash to power ratio - Im small potatoes in hash power, but I am glad I thought that was important too, and looked at it. KaydenC thanks for the honesty.

i am 80 tdp usually same yupp, really the 1080ti is so powerful it still does fine and less on power limit = insta less heat! Smiley  great for these months, mine are running 60 degrees as i type, with the one on the end at 53 ;p   lol


That's pretty good. Which model are they? Our cards should run at 80% TDP till they are obsolete. Even smart miners who undervolt their 7970s during the btc days have their cards running today. E that's 5 years.

So do you guys recomend us to use about 70% to 80% tdp!?
Im using 110% 24/7, 75C tops, do you know how this temp and usage can reduce lifespan of the cards!?

when mining skein do you guys recommend a paper wallet ??thanks
Curtis - I honestly suggest you do some more due diligence.

Paper wallet - off network - secure but not easy to transfer (relative term as it would take mere minutes or less) for mining, your address for receiving payments will point to a wallet - that wallet will receive the payments on the block chain. paper wallets have zero to do with receiving as far as I know.

I'm new to mining and I too like to know what is best to mine with this card in order to get ROI faster.

There is a calculator at nicehash and it is useful except a few coins that are not listed. You can also try whattomine to calculate profit with 1080ti. You need to input values like hash rate, power, cost manually.

Thanks everyone looks like I could keep the same settings.  When I started it's EVGA 1080ti SC Blacks is mostly available to buy.  I got a quad of FTW3 from another state for testing, and no tax.  They ran slightly cooler but they start at 280w.

Normally gamer are playing at OC and not surprised to run at 85c!

I believe if you keeping it at below 80 should be ok. High tdp will consume more watts so its your choice to get highest hash rate or optimum hash/watt ratio

If you can keep it cool, running at higher tdp is ok as long your bill still come in low Smiley

What s the best coin to mine with 1080 ti, to reduce the ROI?

to reduce the ROI I would strongly suggest to mine bitcoin

I run mine at 78 to 80, 63c - they are good to way more (the power vram/power chokes are good to 110). Gamers take them to 80c regularly.

I bought a EVGA Black, does anyone owns it!?

I have a rig, I like them, at 82% tdp I am at about 62c in a garage (with outside temps in high 90s) they work well, and they have a nice warranty. They don't OC too well on the core side (at least mine do not). My SC2 does better on core.

what do you find they max for core?   i find my gigabytes were "cheaper" but over +200 on mem they crap right out, while my zotac tho cost more can do +400  (locks at +550 tho)  
what clocks can the evga blacks do before crapping?   it seems core matters but mem not really (i go -400 on my zotac on mem)

CjMaPope, I find I can get the cores to about 85-90 with no rejects poolside, for memory depends on the algo but on some I can get to 400-450. Mind you 5 of mine are what I consider normal nvidia silicon (no lottery winners here) and I have 1 I want to call pokie - too lazy to separate him out and find his own timings, he may be slowing the lot (might do it now that I type it). I have an SC2, which under performs compared to the SC Black (5 of the 6).

tdp @78 to 80, if I try to go over 90 on the core I need to bump to 90tdp, and even then it may not stay running for 2 hrs or more.


spez2: locks I can confirm at 90tdp, 145CoreClock, 500MemClock (I work down from there and then manage power which slides everything to what I typed above) I have to undervolt to sub 80 due to temps in my garage.


hmm...intresting... ya i think it really is just the siliocon lottery and every card is different with different sweet spots, ya with the ti there nice and powerful i find, so udner 90 tdp is best i think.
ya i agree, every algo is so different , all depends on that too..

Trying to decide between the EVGA SC2 and ZOTAC AMP Edition. Others are either 2.5 slots or more than 300mm which won't fit in my case.
I have both and the Zotac AMP runs hotter at 70tdp than the EVGA at 90tdp so I would go with the EVGA.

Zotac AMP Extreme runs at max while silent and cool , go figure
yeah same here i have evga ftw and they run cooler than the zotacs ampfor sure.

gona grab two zotac 3 fan tis to compare tmw

i have an Amp Extreme, LOVE it, great card, rocks all algos, but damn 320 TDP compared to the usual 250 of a ti, and THREE slots :/ the muther is HUGE Cheesy


I have three of this beast. Damm good out of box performance. Runs cool. Well worth the price tag vs others
