So which 1080 ti do you guys recommend?

These would be my options:

Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition, 11GB GDDR5X, 352 bit
Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 11GB GDDR5X, 352 bit
MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X 11G, 11GB GDDRX5, 392-bit
MSI GTX 1080 TI ARMOR, 11GB GDDRX5, 392-bit
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti STRIX GAMING O11G 11GB DDR5X 352-bit
ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti STRIX GAMING 11GB DDR5X 352-bit

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

Went ahead and got this one: Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition, 11GB GDDR5X, 352 bit (do you have the same one Phil? may I call you Phil?

)

Tried different drivers:
- 378.92 gives about 680 h/s on ZEC at stock
- 382.33 (latest) - 715 - 730 h/s on ZEC at stock; seems to be the better choice. Running only one card on Win 10.

Then I moved to Skein. Using ccminer-2.0-release-x64-cuda-8.0 and added ccminerAlexis78 build:

Seems to be the best profitability at the moment. (5% pool fee factored in for fees + other losses):

The aorus is too big for my setup but it is a great card.

I bounce back and forth from zec to skein.

I have 14 1080 ti's

So far the Founder cards all seem to be equal to each other.

The msi aero are a blower style no back plate but I truly liike them

the aorus has the best hash rate but is fat and wants two 8 pin pcie wires if you are doing a 1 or 2 card build it is the way to go.

Phil do you have any of these cards you posted a couple pages back?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/292077280960?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

If so, what is your setup with them?

No I have

1 aorus
7 founders
5 msi aero ---- 1 is yet to arrive.

2 galax katana's 1070
1 gigabyte 1070 mini yet to arrive

that gigabyte is very close to the aorus. If I got one.

I would run a 2 card rig with the aorus in a case with good fans.

I would put it in my friends shop in brooklyn and pay zero for power. We would split the coins.

I have a few deals like this.

Do you believe I could run the same 3 card setup like with the Aero's or no?

3 1080 ti's riser free won't happen

I do all my 3 card 1080 ti's with 2 on the board and one on a riser.

a riser free setup with 3 cards 2 msi aeros 1 short mini 1080 or 1070 on the board can be done with the 1 card short at the end.

I would not try it in a case.

However I am going to build a katana katana gigabyte in a case.

Here is an asus, katana, katana in a case a bit too hot

I am looking to mirror your awesome 3 card setup here

Phil I ordered the cards, the MB, the ram, I ordered the LT version of ram because it was the same price with a cooler face plate xD

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4400T-Dual-Core-2-90Ghz-H2-CPU-/272645034798?
Do you still think this is best processor?

I am going to be putting together two rigs, one for myself and another for a friend

I ordered the 2x msi aero 11gb + 1080 mini

He ordered 2x http://www.ebay.com/itm/292077280960?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT + 1080 mini

Ordered this MB, he did as well https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128975&cm_re=Z270P-_-13-128-975-_-Product

said LT ram http://www.ebay.com/itm/252679706193?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

so now I am hunting processor & SSD

Wonder about PSU setup, more so for the gigabyte rig? Do you think it will be possible to do the 3 card setup if these gigabytes are larger?

@ I can't find the post Grin

I do not regret selling the 34 rx 480's and the pandaminer to switch to nvidia. I do have 6 rx 480's left

this is in the solar array 3 two card rx 480s and 1 two card 1080 ti

2 x Auros 1080ti on MSI-Z270-A Pro motherboard -- too close for comfort --- the card is huge 2.5x slots at least

Now with MSI- Gaming M5 Z170 motherboard -- better spacing but still too close I think --- this card although is awesome hash beast and very very quiet --- its too wide due to the triple fan design. Its a tad too expensive also IMHO.

The 2nd 1080ti is slotted at the 3rd 16x PCI slot right at the edge of the mobo!

In general: watercooling is awesome, as long as you keep up on checking the coolant regularly.... when its an "openable" system.. like a homemade loop.

In my opinion, it's almost a negative honestly; because not only do you have the liquid level and leak factor, but that on top of the radiator/cooler clogging like any other cooler would. In the end, you are shrinking your cooler down from the surface area that it was on the GPU (which I believe is higher) to the size of the new radiator.

If it wasn't a "closed system" like that one, you could feed it from a large reservoir, remote from the machine, that would be the smartest option in the end... but, again... more hassle to do that than it's worth I think.

I really don't think you'll get much more out of one being watercooled, because they will reach heat saturation and be right where the air cooled unit was (within a few degrees anyways).... They do help for the short term load spikes and whatnot that you see in games, but when it comes to running cards hard like mining does... they get to heat soak and are basically about the same... depending on the ability of the radiator/fan.

im a huge fan of EVGA personally... the few extra bucks ans you get a better cooler, better build quality, and a quality warranty...

I haven't had any EVGA cards fail on me yet.

Though, the ACX3.0 cards are the 2.25 spacing size... and they are rather large; but that's what I like, the cooler.

I dont own any of them but they were very good on 3 psu rma's.

I am tempted to get this one

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487346

it is water cooled. never had any water cooled gear.

I have 459 dollars coming to me from ebay e-bucks so I get it in July I may buy the watercooled one
