nVidia GPU cards are marvellous hardware for mining, especially if your electricity cost is high.
Unfornately, the 1080ti is not the best in the nVidia offer (who is 1070).

To choose what currency to mine, you can found help in some website like "whattomine", or in this forum (and this section) where you can find some specifics nVidia 1080/1080Ti threads.

Every coin that is core intensive. Like Zcash or LBC.

for a 1080ti, there is no better card to mine equihash alogo specifically the zcash, hush and zclassic.

You'll get around 740 sol/s compared to the 1070 that gets 470 sols/s give it a try.

I overclocked my gtx 1080 ti fe to 110 power limit +110 core clock and +55 memory clock. It mines Zcash at 730 Sol/s at a temperature of 64 degrees with fan at full speed. anyone knows how far i can overclock it without getting unstable?
