As mentioned before. Vegas needs playing with timings that takes alot of trial and error and ALOT of time (specially the gigabyte gaming oc, wich is terrible to work with). And i guess 1080TI are pretty straight forward.
1080TI use to much power for this small hashrate and the hashrate decrease every new DAG Epoch. Use 2060 Super instead, they only use 115w and can do around 45mh. Used cards are available for less money than 1080Ti´s
The Nvidia cards all day, they work better with no driver issues and they have low temp compare to AMD, if I have to buy AMD card today it will be the newer versions not the old architecture, I'm talking about the likes of rx6600 and others but since this is between 1080ti and Vega I will surely go for 1080ti
The GPU temp depends on every GPU and Subvendor. My AMD cards are always under 60°C.
Going to choose from few old GPUs from a friend of a friend that needed money and want to sell them, what will be the better decision between 1080ti and Vega 64? Which one is more durable for mining and give less stress or troubles?
Vega Cards, use less power, hashrate will not decrease very DAG epoch and they have more hashrate than a 1080ti.

I would go with the 1080ti. Post ETH i think the 1080ti will be the more profitable card. Using todays numbers and in a world without ETH the Vega will make $1.25 a day but the 1080ti will make $1.45. Then you add in these are used cards and buying used Vegas is risky, you never know what kinda shape that HBM2 memory is going to be in. The 1080ti however are rock solid and durable cards you can mistreat them and they will keep on ticking.
Much longer timespan? I hate this theoretical stupid shit. Why has nvidia cards longer timespan? I lose 1 nvidia and 1 amd card in 5 years of mining full time with 200 cards. This bashing against GPU manufacturer is senseless. Every one has good an bad cards. Or did you do a research for years with 1000 of cards?
198 and 2 is a good record.
with my 2020 gear from april 1 to now I am about 230 and 2
all three were amd 2 in a two card rig I suspect it was a mobo short.
and a few fans died msi amd fans.
I go back to 2012 mining with gpus.
amds were always harder to get to work 24/7/365
but my amd 5600 = excellent
and my amd 5700 = excellent
So I kind of think it varies make to make and model to model.
My all time favorite gpu = 1080ti evga hybrid
36 and 0 all about 4 years old.
