Topic: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option - page 304. (Read 409677 times)

I have 1 rig using NH. You're making more than me on NH - getting  <$6/day/1080ti which is >$1 less/card than any other miner.

NH is awesome for you when you're new - but if you stick to to it just think about it - on a 6 card rig, you're making >$1 less PER CARD so over a months time, that's >$180 less in revenue so while it's great when you're new, it gives you plenty of time to figure out how to get on another miner and pool. Quicker you do it, less money you lose.

What coin are you mining?

Hello. I've been into GPU mining for the past week, running
2x Aorus GTX 1080 Ti 11GB
3x Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti 11GB

Using ~1250W out of a 1600W power supply. Mining these algorithms: Lbry, Lyra2REv2, EquiHash, X11Gost

on NiceHash.

The first few days, I was generating around $40-45/day (~$9 per GPU/day). The value has now dropped to $30-35 per day (~$7 per GPU/day).
All I did was install the GPUs on Win10, get it up and running and begin mining. Is it beneficial to overclock? I do not know what those terms mean, but are they really worth the trouble (running a card at over capacity might degrade it's life expectancy).

Are these normal results or below expected? I plan to perfect the method and then further invest into 5 more rigs to work on a daily cash-out by NiceHash (more than 0.1BTC/day generated)

what are you mining today?

Yeah, the profitability is droping as fast as it rose....

Went down about 30-35% in 2 weeks 

Still very high compared to January.

Sorry may have missed that. The setting is?
Model:
Driver version:
Miner: i assume alexis78 taken from nemo
Miner setting?
OS:
OC tool:
Power limit:
CC:
MC:
Pool:
Any others?
 

It's no trick. I posted my stats. I just used the settings others here have shared

With 1080TI we try to max out with other algo.

If you are diehard ETH, dual mine with other altcoin is nice as this ti can do much more on dual mine vs others

The facts still remained the profitability has dropped since last two weeks. Have to face reality

But i am very curios how the other guy claim thry can do 500 dgb a day. Will be nice if he can share his trick

 It's not a AMD thing.
 It's a memory thing.

 (1) ETH is very highly dependent on memory - which is why the R9 290 is still one of the fastest ETH mining cards in existence, it's got 512 bit wide memory with fairly low latency that makes up for the slower clocks.
 (2) Amount of ram past "enough to hold the DAG" DOES NOT MATTER. Anything over 3GB *AT THIS TIME* is a waste - but that will change to "over 4GB is a waste" when the DAG file starts pushing 3GB in size very hard.
 (3) GDDR 5x has much higher latency than GDDR 5 - which is why the GTX 1070 mines ETH better than the GTX 1080 despite having a quarter fewer cores and 20% slower base memory clock rate.
       GTX 1080 ti has enough more cores to overcome this, but not by a lot.
       AMD 8GB versions of the RX 470/570/480/580 have THE SAME GDDR5 memory at about the same clock as the GTX 1070.
 (4) For reference, the GTX 1070 mines ETH as the same to a hair higher speed than any RX series card, without needing memory straps to get competative - and it's a tossup on hash/watt as well when tuned for efficiency on both sides.
       The only reason folks went with the RX series cards was the cost was a lot lower.
 (5) per posted figures I've seen, the GTX 1080 ti DOES mine faster than the GTX 1070 or any RX card - but not by a ton, mid-to-upper 30s - which makes it NOT competative on hash/$ and it's apparently not real close on hash/watt.


 The Polaris architecture has nothing to do with the situation.

It's the Polaris architecture. The benefits of it's design never caught on with game engines but it is ideal for some types of mining algorithms

1080ti has gddr5x memory vs gddr5 on 1070 and amd cards

On mph, you should know your last 24hrs earning when you click on dashboard.

Can anyone explain why Nvidia with its 11 GB memory 1080Tis, are not as good or what appears on the surface better memory then the AMD RX cards for mining ETH?
Am i missing something in regards to why AMD is so much better for ETH in particular? 

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new myself to mining and so far I have 3 1080TI and 3 1070 GTX. So far I have been mining in zpool and mph. I like more mph but it is hard to keep track of the daily gains as when the auto exchange kicks in you are kind in a lost while waiting for it to appear as your exchange coin. Anyway, in Zpool I'm able to keep track of the total unpaid so I have an idea of what profit daily I can make. I am using so far multi algo or doing them manually. Besides these two pools what are your guys favorite? I've read so many low profits here on nicehash that I don't even want to try it.

Anyone where mining Lyra2REv2 through Nicehash?
If so, what are you getting per card and what settings?

I have 2 Asus FE
75% tpd
+200 clock
0 mem

getting about 60-63 mh/s per card.
Not sure if thats good haha.

    i did it too when i started, it sounds like a good idea in ones head   but the REALITY is exactly what you described, you get a whole shitpile of different memory and each one has its own sweet spot, you create HOURS of tweaking for yourself   which also SOUNDS fun in your head, but becomes annoying pretty quick haha
Lesson learned for us both!    (i just grabeed x3 more ti's and got all the same ones: gigabtye gamings)

thanks guys - I made my first €2.28 today lol

Do not do this I did.

So far I have 1 MSI RX 470 with Samsung Mem. 2 Giga RX 570 with Elpida Mem. 2 MSI RX 570 with Hynix Mem. 1 Asus RX 570 with Elpida Mem. 1 RX 470 incoming god knows with what mem.

3 1080 Ti as Gigabyte Auros, Asus Strix and MSI Gaming (incoming)

I really gained a lot of experience with these cards as I faced problems and had to research a lot for their settings and mods.

But nowadays is the days whichever gpu you can put your hands on, take it. At least where I live.

So far I have Gigabyte Auros and Asus Strix 1080Ti and using both with %70TDP, +150 and -502 as anything over +150 does not seem stable.
Over +200 I got instant crashes but could run for a couple of hours with around +170-180 and then crashed.

I did not spend a lot of time yet but just running them with what settings they are comfortable.

I am waiting MSI 1080Ti Gaming and will start testing/using it this weekend.

you dont get paid in bitcoins, thats multipools only, ya nub
blockfactory is not a multipool, yes you will need to convert yourself
