My 1080ti arrived a day late today ... I've not mined with Nvidia before ... so time for a few tests/tweaks ... using the latest 381.65 driver.
Straight off the bat (without making any voltage adjustments etc.) it's QUICK for sure! ... and throws out a fair amount of heat as well, fans set to 70% to keeps temp around 64 degrees.
Nicehash miner only offers to benchmark one algo, being Lyra2REv2: 63 MH/s, 282 watts rig draw at around $4.87 per day.
EWBF ZEC miner on Nicehash: 700 sols (fluctuates down to 682 sometimes), 291 watts rig draw at around $4.64 per day.
Nicehash Excavator: Equihash algo, 660 sols, 292 watts rig draw but it fluctuates wildly.
All the above are only 15/20 minute sessions so might be out a bit.
I hadn't even considered it might be suitable for Lyra2REv2, interesting GPU this.
Time to play with AfterBurner and see what can be tweaked, the core voltage seems to be locked? There must be a way to unlock that?
.
not sure about core unlock..
I think 378.78 driver may be better.
my entire rig is about 220 watts for 1 1080ti at 70% power giving 716 h on th better aorus 1080 ti
vs same watts but 660 h on the zotac 1080 ti fe. same settings.
I do have a 1500 watt titanium psu from rosewill
since I do 3 soon to be 4 cards I am well under the 1500 watt max so my psu is 93-94%
I have a i5 6400 t cpu also a power saver and finally 1 stick of ddr4 ram a power saver.
along with a 128 gb samsung ssd.
this could be why a get 220 one card at the wall vs you getting 293 one card at the wall.
@ d57Heinz I think he is a bit off with his best guess and high range numbers
he does not take into account people with super low power... or people that winter heat with older s-3's .
In my area we have 3 or 4 senior citizen developments that use electric heat. No heat pump just baseboard radiators . I know of a few people heating with s-3's the power cost is exactly the same as it would be for using the baseboard radiator. so a 400 dollar bill for 4 months is common for them. but they get back btc.
so spend 400 either way but the s-3 way you get around 100 a month back in btc. that is with 10 cent power.
also with limited free power which some people have 3 s-3's will gen 30 a month.
So My guess is he is a bit off as he leaves that out a bit.
so maybe the best guess is 5-10% low and the high number is 5-10 too low.
but more of a gut feeling then a truth.
