Topic: Are 1070 TI's the next best GPU for mining? 4.7 sols per watt - page 5. (Read 9258 times)

Does it matter what brand?
Local seller has gigabyte 1070ti gaming.

Btw, great thread as far as this gpu goes. Can anyone share some 1070ti vs vega 56 thoughts?

After following your videos and doing a lot of research I've invested in a beginner 6 card 1070 ti SC rig. Mainly due to high electricity costs. I'm looking forward to building the rig! Thanks for the great content.

Okay @VoskCoin my wife was starting to hate you until I showed her the $100 every 2 days coming in!!!

I love your videos and appreciate you guiding the novice miner like me through the confusing world of alt coin madness.

I am now off to build a 8 x 1070TI SC rig. First 2 cards, 1600W T2 and Frame have been ordered!

This will compliment my 2  - 9 x 1060 3GB rigs and 1 x 8 1080 rig most likely I will be out of power taps in my garage!!

Hello no they wont.  I have 60 6-7 card Nvidia 1070 / 1070ti rigs.  I'm not moving for a long time.

To be honest I wouldn’t be sad if the Volta cards dont bring a huge jump in performance and efficiency as this would mean that the 10xx series remains relvant for another 2 years. Nobody with 15-20 cards plus will replace all of them with the new generation right away  as it would be super pricy.

 Probably card dependent, and seems to at least in part be mining software dependent.

 It DOES look like the best efficiency point on EBWF is at 104 watts not 106, but it's so close it could be an artifact of measurement limits.

 I tried pushing core and memory harder on one of my EVGA SC cards, but stability went bad very quickly above the +200 core and +700 memory settings (which was an unreported part of my original testing).
 That however might vary with the specific card and probably with the model of GPU.


 I'm not waiting, as I'm not convinced that the Volta versions of the 10xx series cards will be a LOT more efficient.
 10% probably, 20% maybe, 30% I'd bet against - we're still on the same process node, just "process improvements" and perhaps some additional minor optimisations to the designs are all we're likely to see - think of "RX 4xx vs RX 5xx" level changes being the most likely.

 Hint - "12nm" isn't a new node, it's enhancements to a current 16nm node process with a "new name" as strictly an ADVERTISING point.


 Samsung does seem to have some VERY small quantity of production happening on 10nm - but strictly for low-power devices like their smartphones at this point, and they're eating ALL of the output so far.
 Intel is supposed to FINALLY be shipping their first 10nm products next year - but the date keeps slipping.....

 Manufacturing efficiency for both is probably going to be VERY poor on anything they manage to ship at 10nm next year - it takes TIME to dial a new process in, and it seems to take longer every time a legitimate "shrink" happens TO get the new process dialed in.

warren buffet eat my gfx card

At this point I'm waiting for mainstream Volta mid next year instead of buying more Pascal.

I was getting 520-530 @110watts and I'm unsure on settings due to it not being very stable, haven't tried with more power though. This was on the EVGA models.

Been busy trying to get SMOS working properly before pushing more. Currently at 500 avg on each of my 3 cards. So not sure if its worth squeezing any little bit more out. 

Have you had SMOS site say a rig was offline but the rig still be mining to pool fine? Mining ZEN on Suprnova.

Anyone managed to take the settings further with even better results / esp on linux?

hahaha dont you put this on me xD

DSTM makes a big difference in pushing these numbers further



Speaking of my latest 1070 TI must have different memory than the one I had to sample because my latest batch is not performing as well

currently have it at 200 core 700 mem and 120 watts on DSTM pushing about 4 sols per watt

If the Strix uses ball bearing fans and is less expensive than the EVGA, I'd probably go with the Strix.

 70% power on every 1070 ti model I am aware of is 126 watts.

 I'm good. 9-)

What to choose Asus Rog Strix 1070ti or Evga 1070ti SC?

Also possible - 490sols @ 95W / 4.95sol per W

Thanks for the videos and the good info, learned a lot from you when i was young grasshopper and did not understand mining at all.

Yeah sorry I dint have a wattmeter between at that moment and ment to edit it in a minute later but then life happened  


System idle is 29W and mining is 150-151w so around 120w.

+699 memory
1847-1896mhz core with a custom curve.
70% power

 You're running it around 125 watt level?

 Posting hashrates with no setting info is .... kinda useless.

So played around with one today. ROG Strix 1070ti with Micron memory.
