Hoping some of these logs/info help some of you out.
All cards running on Nvidia 388.59
All cards running on 0.5.7
Mining on Flypool US server
The 1080Ti and the 1060 are in my every day gaming rig with decent airflow. the 1080Ti has a back-plate attached.
The 1080 is in my wifes computer, decent airflow.
The 980Ti is on a test bench and kept in a fairly cool spare bedroom, the new 1080 will be going into my wifes computer and the old founders edition onto the testbench.

Memory appears to help with the hash-rate up to +500, after that the gain is minimal.


EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition 8GB

Memory appears to have almost no effect by itself, however at +150GPU and no memory overclock it is unstable, it only becomes stable when I add in the memory overclock.


EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB FTW
+50GPU +400mem 115% power target 100% fan speed
58c AVG 495.4Sol/s 1.95Sol/w
The memory response appears the same as the 1060 whereas it doesn't seem to directly have an influence, but is needed for a stable GPU overclock. For some reason I can no longer adjust the memory overclock.

I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB on order aswell.

Thank you very much!
300 sol/s with just 72% power limit is far from what I expect!
Be cause I've ever tested P106-100 6G for ZEC mining, it got 295sol/s with EWBF, but not this dstm's miner, then I move all P106-100 to mine ETH.
So, I will take a shot next week with MSI GTX 1060 3G, hope it works!  

I tried new version with my GTX 1060 cards - no hash speed improvements.

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce 2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (Samsung)
OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1

Power Limit: 72% (around 82-90W)
Core Clock:  +160
VRam Clock:  680 (vram it can be push to 920-930 depend by algoritm & what miner it i use)
Video Driver: 388.59


Mining speed it is around ~300 Sol/s with this miner, with other miner it betewen 270-300. Tuning done in MSI Afterburner it depend by each video card & be ware dstm it sems it will not work with same tuning use for exemple in excavator or in EWBF or in Ccminer, same each algo it have diferite requirement

i will add NeoScrypt: around 500-550 depend by what miner it use

hope it will help you but keep in mind value can variate from a brand to other & special what brand are video memory made. 1060 video card are decent for mining with good balance power consumtion > speed. i will add is better to aim for 6g Vram version because they will have a longer future usage see rising dificulty ...

cheers

Have anyone tested dstm's miner ver.0.5.7 with GTX 1060 3G? Also, please share your setting?
I could not purchase more P106-100, but there're some MSI GTX 1060 3G are available, so I'm still considering.

Thanks!

Driver for mining 353.33 or lasted

If anyone is receiving "connection closed by server r:0" every few minutes while using version 5.6, update to version 5.7. The problem has been solved.

1080 ti is a lot faster than 1070 ti in ZEC mining.

 BUT

 At the total system level, depending on card prices, the 1080 ti will usually be a bit worse on a hash/$ basis and a HAIR worse on a hash/watt basis unless you can get one on a VERY good sale compared to a "same model" 1070 ti card
 On the POSITIVE side though, it's *close* on both, and the rig density is a lot better for the 1080 ti.
 Both choices are good ones, which one is "optimal" depends on what you're specifically looking for and YOUR available pricing on the cards.


 Comparing at efficient points for each card (60% of "default TDP" tends to be close to the most efficient point for ANY GTX 1070 / 1070 ti / 1080 / 1080 ti card):

 1070 ti will pull 465 sol/s at 106 watts (using ebwf OR dstm, I didn't see any noticeable improvement for dstm at that setting in my testing) at a Newegg cost $470 for a EVGA SC model (figure more like $520 at total system cost level).
 1080 ti will pull 620 sol/s at 150 watts (using ebwf, I've not tested dstm on a 1080 ti yet) at a Newegg cost of $770 for an EVGA SC model (figure $830 total system cost, you need MORE power supply to run the card other costs will be the same).


 Both cards are capable of much higher hash rates if you push the power draw up, but the hashrate goes up a LOT slower than the power draw once you get past about the 70% TDP level (126 watts for a 1070 ti, 175 for a 1080 ti).


 Note that when I talk about TDP as a percentage, I'm talking specifically about the EVGA SC model of each card, or other cards that have the SAME default TDP (180 and 250 watts respectively) like the Zotac "Mini" models and quite a few others.
 Some 1080 ti models have a higher than 250 watt "default" TDP, and a very few (so far) 1070 ti models have a higher "default TDP" than 180 watts.

 

Guys, I need an advice
Are 1080s notably faster than 1070 Tis for zcash with DSTM? I'am building another mining rig which constists mainly of 1070 Tis but I can buy few 1080s for like 3-4% more(compared to 1070Tis). So, what do you think? Should I buy few 1080s or GDDR5X is really bad?

I am happy with GTX 1060s performance with DSTM but need 2 things;

- GTX 1070 performance would be %2-3 better
-Dev fee of %2 is very high please make it %1.

My 1070ti's are overclocked with +200 core and +700 mem and my 1070's are overclocked with +120 core and +650 mem.  I am using DSTM 5.7 and have found it slightly better in every way than the excellent 5.6

I run a total of 17 cards. 8 1070ti and 8 1070 in rigs, and one 1070 in a laptop.  All running DSTM 24/7 and so far have not had any crashes or stability issues with DSTM.

I forgot to mention that my 1080ti are overclocked with +200 mem and core. 1070 are overclocked with +100 mem and core. My post was more directed towards users that overclock and uses DTSM miner.

I'm using the lastest version with the latest drivers. After I installed latest drivers my invalid shares increased like 7% with suprnova almost on every coin

try 0.5.7, it's better for flypool

I switched my 1060x12 miner from ewbf to dstmv0.5.6. My hashrate significantly decrease from 34xx to 2500 sols/s while mining in flypool.Is anyone facing the same issue?

 

I am getting higher sysloads in ethOS after upgrading to 0.5.7... for 8x GTX 1080 and 8x GTX 1080ti rigs.  Any work being done to fix this?  With 8x 1060 and 8x 1070 the load is a little lower.

I'm using the latest 388.xx drivers on windows 10 with a mix of 1070 and 1070ti and it's been running for days without a hitch.

Weird that different people have such different outcomes.

I just wanted to add that I did a little experiment with drivers with the latest release.
0.5.7 is unstable with NVidia 388.xx drivers. It instant crashes for me and never restarts. I want to add that new games like PUBG did the same.

So I tried older drivers, I found that 384.94 works flawless with 0.5.7 and earlier release + I got increased hashrate compared to 388.xx drivers.
This was tested for my 3 rigs with 1080ti and 1070 on windows 10 with latest updates.

I was just tooling around looking to see if I was the only one; using 5.6 with luckpool. Disappointing, but nice to know it's not just me.
