Topic: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option - page 318. (Read 409658 times)

What does 700 Sol/s translate into in terms of Zcash/XYZ Coin/USD value per month (with current coin prices)?

Is it per card or both makes 700ish sol/s

I actually get into minng business recently and for now mining ETH with AMD rig.

I am going to buy new GPU for my gaming PC and looking forward to get GTX 1080 or 1080Ti. I already have AMD ETH rig.

My plan is making my gaming PC to mine whatever Nvidia card can mine (Zcash, Skein etc.) when I do not game/use it.

This means it will mine likely 20 hours a day. PSU is Seasonic X750-KM3.

I do not plan to use more than two GPUs as I will be using current system without buying any other hardware/upgrading. This is supposed to be gaming PC but why not mine some on it.

Actually my mobo (Asrock E3V5 Gaming) only supports Crossfire but no SLI so  dual Nvdia cards will make no good for me for gaming but only for mining.

One option for dual Nvdia GPU would be using one of them for gaming while the other one mines and both of them mining when I dont game.

Electricity cost 0.11-0.13 USD/Kwh.

I am more inclined to a single GTX 1080ti rather than dual GTX 1070/1080 considering no SLI support.

I think my Skylake Xeon 1260L v5 CPU will not bottleneck a 1080ti as I can OC it to stock i7 6700/7700 level easily as my passmark test result indicate.

If I invest 950-1000 USD local purchase (or 775-800 USD international purchase) for a 1080Ti now does it make sense for my conditons?

If yes which brand and model would you suggest to buy?

Can it ROI in 4-5 months or till the Volta GTX GTX 2070/2080 comes into market and kills it price and performance wise with current coins Nvida can dig?

Even if card ROI itself, this is good. As the card remains with resell value and high performance gaming will be a very good side benefit for me.

Good, lets see how this will progress. I already have 2 running.
Zotac 1080ti Amp
Zotac 1080ti Amp Extreme

Both with around 705-730 sol/s with EW but with NH is 680-690.

Performance with Claymore Dual mining is worse than pure Zcash.

Really happy if those who has good success with Skein can provide some lights here

Will watch and contribute to the topic.

I already have AMD ETH rig but also planning to get a powerful Nvida GPU for my gaming computer and looking for ways to make money with it as well.

ROI of 4-5 months for a 1080Ti would be nice

Lets see what happens.

poor gamers ))

Setup this discussion so we know the best way to max out the potential for this expensive GPU.

We know from time to time the profitability shift, so hope here can get advise and suggestion for near optimum profit.

Best Algo/hashrate:
Which pool:
which mining software:
current expected daily profit before electricity:
Any OC (core/memory):

Or any tips on extra mod:


23/Dec posted:
Maybe as we get this discussion further, I will group the list of Algo and coin that is most used by the 1080ti. To do this, might need some help from all of you as I might missed to capture what you have posted.

Could be like:

Current reported profitable coin:
- Date / Coin / Algo / maybe link to the coin or the miner?
- to ensure the list not too long, we will keep it within the top 20 reported by date. Any older date will be moved out (or I might put this to a google spreadsheet link)

As for the setting of the OC, I think just have to do own test as the variance just too large and every card is not the same

What other key info you believe should be in the 1st page?

I know many dont like to share the profitable coin as when it got listed here, likely is taking away the profit from them. but just post only if you are willing to help.
