Topic: GTX1080ti's: Better Options? - page 3. (Read 13598 times)

Just google nemosminer zpool, download the zip file.. dont touch the batch file and just create your own with a simple single line using the pool info on the pool of your choice. The reason i say this is because it seems to mine multi algo using the nemosminer, you have to run your GPU at OEM stock settings which are stupidly inefficient at mining really..., but each algo uses the GPU in a different way.. so oem settings are basically the only ones stable on it...but your using a ton more energy and generating way more heat to utilize that benefit.

Once you learn how to optimize your GPU by tuning the clocks and voltage levels, you can get near stock hashrates (Money making ability) at a fraction of the energy and heat.. but in my short experience once you get one algo fully optimized, as soon as you try another algo its like a 50/50 if it will freeze up your pc...

So your best bet is to stick to one algo, and mine it at the most optimized settings to increase your profit margin....then maybe later experiment with others and come up with optimization settings that work best with them.. so if a day comes you need to switch coins, you can just stop the miner, change the gpu settings, then start the new coin....

Example the current optimal settings for my skein settings will immediately freeze up on zcash or lyra coins, which is the other 2 common nvidia coins to mine, then my zcash settings will freeze on attempting to mine skein, but my lyra2 settings will actually mine skein.. they are different animals, so different settings are needed.. if it is possible to create a batch that auto switches settings before starting the miner that would be amazing accomplishment.

Someeone in posted a link in the middle of this thread.  Was bit tricky to find. Is a mega.nz link also grab the NH bat file and just change your address and its good to go.

You guys have a link to alexis miner?  Just got 2x1080ti and getting only 600MH/s on suprnova dgbskien pool, this is with ccminer2.0

 DGB has a skein option, if you mine it directly via a pool like theblocksfactory (I think suprnova also has a DGB-skein pool, but not sure there - I do recall at least 2 other DGB-skein pools from listings).

Thanks I saw your numbers you just sounded a bit unsure.

I am getting around 985 on my single 1080ti.  I have under powered it slightly to keep the heat down.  My power is not much less than yours for a single card and I am running on air at 60C.   

The mining window locked up after around 3 hours so can't really see much results.  I did notice my CPU got upto 75C with Skein which is pretty high compared to other mining I have done.  It is a Ryzen 1600x with a mid to low range water cooler on it.

So more testing I guess.

THe above numbers are on my Personal Gaming PC, which is 2 x MSI Armor GTX1080ti's on watercooling...

So numbers may be different on air, since my mining temps are 35-38c on water...

I got it going at stock Alexis78 and Skien only and it is doing around 1006 MH/s.  So that converts to around US $15.50 a day before any fees or power comes out.  I also did a few quick tests in nicehash and that was only really giving me $9 before power not sure if that includes fees.

So far Skein looks really really good.  I am just going to leave it going for 24 hours and see if I mine what I should mine. 

Is anyone leaving thier mined as DGB? I think I woiuld prefer to have DGB instead.

I have an Aorus 11GB.  I did check the previous posts.  Wasn't that with 2x 1080ti  $16 per day not sure if that is before or after power. (looks like before)  I am making around half that on one.  And actually I saw it was less at $14.

I did see one person who had not dont proper testing saying after getting Skein working with alexus he was expected around $15 per day per card which did seem pretty good and at around 1000 H/s.  But again it wasnt really confirmed. 

That is near double what I am making so does seem worth it but was after more opinions and examples.   Looks like 720 Sol/s is equal to 500 sol/s mining DGB coin.  So if you can do 1000 on one card its almost twice as profitable.

I'd like to test it but it is little tricky trying to piece all the info together and get it going.

yes it was a typo  and should be mh/s not sol/s for this instance. 348 watts for 1892 Mh/s seems good to me. Which brand/model are these 1080Ti cards? What settings are you using to achieve such hash and consumption.

I am planning to get 2 1080Tis for Skein/Zec mining as well.

Thanks.

First of all which ti brand you got ?
I believe people getting 1k sol/s doing skein "dgb coin" for $16 a day with ti gpu, using alexis ccminer.
Check previous posts of this topic.

This thread has really helped me thanks for everyone that has posted their info.

I was mining Eth on 1080ti at 31 H/s  Stock settings and that was giving me US $6 per day before power (around $1.80 for power). (stock settings)

Then I switched to Zec @ 720 H/s and US $8.50 before power cost of $1.75.  (using EWBF)

This thread has really got me thinking of the alternatives.  Like DGB with skein or Groeslt.  But I am already pulling in similar results using EWBF and that is in the currency I want to earn.

Or I could even just try nicehash I guess.  See how it compares.

1080ti is not good for ETH but is great for Zec (Zcash) using EWBF which is super simple to get going with lots of good info and easy pools out there.

I would really like to try NHminer and alexis though.

Can anyone that is using both this and EWBF on a 1080ti post up what difference in earnings they are getting.  Like I mentioned earlier on a single card using EWBF with stock settings I am earning US $8.50 and using $1.75 per day in power.

I found the sweet spot for power on my card which was 60% TDP but because of the prices it was better to run it at stock settings as I could make $300 per year more after power costs.

Zec compared to Eth which I would prefer to be mining was going to give me $1000 per year more.

I am newish to mining but already looking at getting more gear, it is alot of fun.

If

I use  powered USB 3 risers.

I screw them into plywood.

Four #4 woods screws and four nylon spacers.

So the riser is 1/8 of an inch off the plywood.

No worries on shorts and that air space from the risers keeps the riser cooler.
I also use six pin pcie risers only.

And finally 1 riser and three slots for a four card build.

I almost never go past a four card build.

But the gigabyte z270 does run five cards very well. 3 slots 2 risers.

im not sure what risers you are using, but I have success with old ribbon style;  molex 4 pin, sata power, and PCIE power versions.  I own all of em....

I once thought I had bad risers, but actually it ended up being the bottom +12X pin grounding out to the casing bracket that was supporting them.....  so it was my fault in the end and I had to replace traces on 5 risers which work fine still......

FYI;  they need a power cable to the riser... this is a must-do.

To be absolutely sure:  unplug all GPU;  plug a riser into the main 16X slot; and plug the main gpu into that.  boot up with a monitor plugged into that GPU and no other GPU present;  should boot......

I am not sure if your really mining Skein, sounds like Equihash or Zcash...
~ALL INFO IS USING 2 x 1080ti's~
When i first started mining on my gaming rig, i was using 591watts to get a Skein hashrate of 2033Mh/s because i was thinking overclocking is better... since then i have done so much research and now i have my 2 cards running after a few flashes running stable so far at 348watts and my hashrate went down to 1892Mh/s... but they produce about half as much heat and a lot less power over time...

One thing i have run into today tho since my NEW GPU's and PCIe risers came in the mail is the PCIe risers seem to not function on NVIDIA cards.. or i just got an entire box full of defective cards..  i have been trying to install the new GPU's in my old gaming rig to run them... all the cards work perfect in the PCIe x16/x8 slot.. but the x1 slots dont detect the GPU's and ive tried every riser i bought.. because i bought extras due to fail rates i have read about...

Ima take my main pc down sometime later after some errands and test the 1x slots on it.. as well im running over to a friends house who has 3 x (x1) slots on his motherboard.. gonna test them on his first since its easier to get to.. since my watercooling hard lines kinda blocks mine..

Ok here are examples with prices,i can get Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8GB GDDR5 for 440,00 € while Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X Gaming OC goes for 750,00 €.ASUS ROG strix gtx 1080TI 11GB goes for 836,00 € and MSI nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB 352bit GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G for 816,00 €,as you can see i dont really have a wide choice for ti version.Also i found some posts where people are saying that 1070 cards are good for different coins to mine while 1080 cards(and ti versions)are just good for zec mining-would like someone to confirm or denie that consedering that there i cant really find alot of info about nvidia minning rigs

Get a 1080ti it's far worth more your time and money

this question have not much sense, a 1080 don't cost like 2 x 1070, 2 x 1070 are far better in any case but cost much more, better comparison was 1 1080ti versus 2 x 1070

I have a question for you guys,would you rather go for 2x1070 or for 1x1080 if space isnt a problem?

Opps.My bad. It is 430mh/s for skein. Actually did see 500ish mh/s for skein as well but power consumption was quite high.

I was running test with different settings  on different miners for ZEC and SKEIN to find an optimal gain for nowadays.

I am more inclined to Skein though. I aim to find a settings (tdp,core,mem etc...) to achieve 475-500 Mh/s for Skein and 430-460 Sol/s for ZEC with a power consumption
of 200-205 Wall with this single 980Ti. These values sounds good to me but I will see how possible they are.

A 1080Ti may give the double amount on Skein with such consumption but I got this used (1 year remaining warranty) 980Ti for 1/3 of the price of a 1080Ti.

I plan to get 1080Ti asap but this asap may not be very soon I just want my 980Ti work meanwhile.

 

 sols is a ZEC term - and that looks more like a ZEC hashrate than a Skein one (my 1070s were doing over 500 Mhash/sec on skein when I was checking it out and testing).

 430 would be a tossup on ZEC with a 1070, though you seem to be using somewhat more power (as to be expected from a Maxwell generation card).
