1080ti is the right way

It's just why AMD is always second place in life. The whole world is buying GPU's for mining like we've never seen before? Let's offer slightly more juice for a lot more power, sounds good! Nvidia doesn't even have to release a new product. They're winning by not being as bad as AMD.

AMD CEO in her earning call:
"Relative to cryptocurrency, we have seen some elevated demand," Su said. "But it's important to say we didn't have cryptocurrency in our forecast, and we're not looking at it as a long-term growth driver. But we'll certainly continue to watch the developments around the blockchain technologies as they go forward"

SO forget Vega, they don't care

I had similar thoughts on AMD to many of you...

Most of miners forget about GTX1080 (NOT Ti). Its price about 470-500 euro and it gives about 580-600 Sol/s on equihash. Also GTX1080 is good for skunkhash (about 40 Mh/s) and many other algos

Thats because most people can't count properly. Grin

Of course 1080 is very very good performer. While being 20% more expensive than 1070 (for now) it usually give 25-35% more hashpower on many algos.

I just bought 1 pny 1070 and msi gaming 1070 haven't had the chance to hookup the msi plan on doing later I'm trying to upgrade my r9 cards and the rest of my rigs are rx470/570 but these are my first nvidia cards what is the best performing miner to use just looking for some advice thanks

I would try the EWBF miner for Zcash. I'm not sure about Ethereum mining.

The best way might just be for you to look up some common miners for whichever coin(s) you're looking at, then testing out all of them.

So which is better performance then? GTX1080 or GTX1080Ti?

Or what can better handle the x13 algo?

The 1080 tends to be relatively unpopular. For the price and power consumption, the 1070 or 1080ti are more common.

On the flip side, depending on where you look, you might be able to get 1080 cards for a less inflated price since demand for them doesn't seem to be the same as other ones.

Yes, stay away from the 1080 if you plan to mine, this is good advice.

1080Ti off course is better. More efficient in terms of assembling the rig and will be more relevant

Time change, i think is amd vega time now, but they sell vega 64 @ 800 usd in my town Cry

But how is it on payback? Better or worse than 1080ti?

So far, the Vega is not faster than the 1080 in mining.

Comparing to 1080ti it's not so high, but if they do not drive the price tag at least down to that of 1080ti and do not improve software in order to lift hashrate on ZEC to at least 750 H/s, I do not see Vega becoming a bestseller, since the cost of mining ETH is far lower on RX470/480/570/580 8GB. Unless its demand from gamers skyrockets.

The Vega is very much so inferior to any 1080 TI. The 1080 TI, depending upon your needs, is probably your go to choice for mining right now. If you can get your hands on cheap 4xx, 5xx, and 1070's then maybe they can be good choices as well.

I can't see the Vega being a miners choice card. Draws far too much power.

I still would say RX470 4GB and RX470 8GB is the best card I ever had. Undervolt king and easy to manage.

Quote from: EastSound on August 16, 2017, 01:56:01 AM

If you have many cards in a rig, the 1080 ti is best.

It depends on the altcoin you want to mine: RX470/480/570/580 8GB have lover cost per hash when mining ETH, 1080 ti are the best for mining ZEC.

I think the best GPU now is GTX1080Ti due to the following:
All Pascal GPUs has approximatelly the same power/hashrate/USD_cost efficiency BUT rig with GTX1080Ti GPUs is more compact than other

If you have many cards in a rig, the 1080 ti is best.

I agree with you with the prospect for the future of mining 1080ti will be best. The best choice in the long term

What if someone have to start with one card per rig: do you suggest to start with a 1080ti or a 1070 ( or other cards, not ati)? The idea is to add cards whenever I earn coins.

Then it's better to put 1070, they will pay off a bit faster than 1080ti, but as long as you add to the whole rig they may become obsolete
