Best settings on 1070TI with Enemy 1.08, at Virtopia
I have 21 GPUs, all 1070TI, sitting on 4 different rigs, all slightly different builds, one rig is 6x MSI Tritium, another is 5x MSI Gaming, the last two are 5x a mix of EVGA, Gigabyte, and MSI.
4 rigs; 3x5 GPUs and 1x6 GPUs.
All were mining on Virtopia – each rig tracked separately but under one wallet address. I ran 12hours at each setting and recorded the average hash rate at the end of each 12 hour period.
Perfect test? No, but the bell curve and standard deviation against a control rig (or two), gets the data about as close as I can.
After 12 hours at each setting, the average of all 21, Enemy 1.08, Auto Diff, auto i, Virtopia pool:
85%,+150,+200 – 11.90 MH/s per GPU - Baseline
80%, +150,+200 – 11.95Mh/s per GPU – increase of 0.4%
70%, +150, +200 – 11.58 95 Mh/s per GPU – decrease of 2.7% over baseline
70%,+0,+0 (no OC) – 11.29 Mh/s per GPU – decrease of 5.1% over baseline
The change between 80 and 85% showed that there was no noticeable difference during the test. Clearly as the TDP was reduced, hashing fell off. As for OCing, there is a benefit to overclocking too. This, at least in my thoughts, confirm what JackIT is seeing in his tests and confirms the settings suggested in Enemy’s Readme file: 80% TDP and slight over clocking.
I know my testing isn't as thorough in methodology as JackIT's - but, I'm using a bell curve of 12 hour returns and a "control" rig (or two) to measure standard deviation - this gets the results close enough:
I took off the Core over-clocking for 24 hours : 80%,0,+200
The hash rates under-preformed the benchmarks by 1-2%, just enough to be statistically relevant/noticeable. So I do see a small gain from pushing the core.
Now I'm trying to "push" the 1070TI to it's limit. I'm bumping up the core and mem without crashing. I'll post the outcome once finished.
I pushed the 1070TI until it wasn't stable. I found that 80,+250, +350 was a far as I could push them. With that, over a 24 hour period, the mine picked up 2-3%.
Now I'm testing 75%, +250, +350.
