We are loving the power coming from 1080 machines. Quite a large amount of hashrate density.
Perhaps with the 1080Ti positioned starting at 800$....
Many 1080 owners will be going for that price point and selling off their 1080s.
It will be a nice to pickup cheap 1080s for a ZEC rig.
I think AMD has been checked mated by NVIDIA before the RX500 launch.....
@JK... do you know what are the actual powerdraws from a 1080?
a one card 1080 doing 510h is about 172 watts.
I am learning msi settings to get good hash low power.
my 3 card rig when assembled should do 1700-1900h 530-600 watts.
I am a rank amateur with nvidia and the EWBF_ software.

LEARNING as I go
Thats about 50-60% less watts than an AMD rig !!!
My current rigs... (undervolted, underclocked to save power and amps)
1. 1000w to 1100w for 6 x RX480 at 290sols/s per card or 1740-1800-ish sols/s per rig.
2. 1100w to 1200w for 7 x R9-Nano at 390sols/s per card or 2700-2800-ish sols/s per rig.
I think ....
2 x 1080ti
1000sols per card at 200watts?
2000sols forf 2 x 1080Ti
Hmmm.... this may bust the budget...... but sure is lower watts to maintain... so it may square off in the end.
Will wait for Phil's weekend review to be sure.
