How much longer will the 1080Ti be the king?


What's on the horizon ?

King of what? Overpriced video cards?

Lol :D It gives the highest hashrate of the cards available today. In that sence its king.

I think the new VOLTA card from Nvidia will overtake this position. We'll have to wait and see! Pascal is now 1.5 years old, should come something new soon.

It also has the longest ROI of any new card:

The new Volta gaming cards may take over as most overpriced when they come out. Switching to a 12nm process will increase the manufacturing costs on the new Nvidia GPU's.

and the vega56  is far more profitable with monero with 1800+ h

i think it s the best gpu for mining  price watt earnings

In the next year nvidia must anone something new.
how intel tick tock - one year new technology second year increase power, then again new technology......

you need to account for slot costs, total up the entire cost to get each pcie slot and the 1080ti return gets better.  people running 1060's have a lot of extra money sunk in an abundance of slots to equal similar hash rates. not to mention space requirements.


and until nvidia announces there next retail product... then actually has enough supply out to buy one or 20....  then drivers... could be a while for 1080ti.

Stopped right there. I got my 1080 ti rigs roi in less then 6 months, however, not mining ZEC :)

I used ZEC as a comparison of performance/$ for different cards. The performance difference per $ for the 1080 Ti on other algorithms is relatively the same or even worse, except for AMD cards. I'm not mining ZEC with RX 570's either.  :-X

you don't buy a 1080ti to mine zec. Its king of the shitcoin for a reason and the roi is half that if you know what you're doing.

If you're buying the 1080 Ti thinking it's the most profitable card to mine with, then you DON'T know what you're doing. The 1080 Ti is a good card for noobs that think they can make up for their lack of experience with their wallet LOL.

"Future-Proof" element must be factored in as well...

https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd-navi-release-date

Another AMD fanboy? If You're buying TI now - yeah, you are partialy right. But those of us who purcharsed their cards before september are looooong way after ROI already. You could make more than 10$ per card daily if You keep switching those shitcoins. So nope. Those buying 1070 'think they can make up for their lack of experience with their wallet LOL'.
We have Titan V on it's way with Volta chip, still 3k$ - Will it worth?

VEGA 56 is not profitable. Mining Ethereum VEGA shows very modest results. Price it twice what the RX 580 but the profitability of these cards 30 Mh/s and the profitability of VEGA 56 approximately 43 Mh/s. What is the benefit? Power consumption of VEGA 56 is also very high. I heard that they are beneficial to use in the extraction of zec but I can't say for sure.

Price from the site nvidia:
1080 Ti - $699 : 195 days = 3.58
1060 -  $299 : 165 days = 1.81

1080 Ti need only 1 extra month after payback that to circumvent younger model in the effectiveness. Already at 255 days, she can earn for you 2 times more money (unless of course it all not fall apart). Moreover, who then will need trash (1050/1060 and partly 1070), with the advent of Nvidia Ampere?

Yes, Vega is very bad, hot and slow card. That is way it is nearly impossible to buy it )))))))))))))

 It was already de-throned by the Titan Volta - and arguably by the Volta V100 - but when you factor in the COST it's still safe for another month or three, when the lower-end Volta based cards should start arriving.

 Other than "rig density" though, it never WAS the king of efficiency - but it's pretty close on the algorithms it DOES work well on when you factor in overall SYSTEM hash/watt.

 Vega 56 is VERY profitable - on Monero - if you can GET the bloody things at all and don't pay double MSRP for them.
 It is beat out on pretty much everything else by SOMETHING though, even AT MSRP pricing.

right , no idea when new gonna come on the market again and at what price, it s why i decide to but some 1070&1080

whattomine.com  current mining price

1 vega56   0.00052
0.00047    $7.95
$7.95    256% | 224%


1 1080i    0.00029
0.00045    $7.72
$7.72    149% | 230%

I already ROI'd on my 3 Vega 56 cards

The thing is that it is not the most price efficient one. When it comes to cards with a better chance to ROI many AMD cards still are a better bang for your buck. But many people like to go for maximum hashrate on specific hashrates so I am not surprised.

If You take in the account resale value at the end, 1080ti would be best one speculating on today's 980ti price.
Also it's king/queen of shitcoins, without doubt. One ti could easily mess with some shitcoins, full rig could take sometimes large chunk of network making solo mining viable.
It's all down to personal preference thou.

Vega 56 is king....oops cat is out of the bag.

I can't find a 1080ti near that price...I think we still have a GPU bubble going on

I give it about 6 months. Nvidia is set to release a new series in 2018

I agree to most posts saying that the 1080ti is the king of nothing. There are lots of cards with lower retail prices and better hash rate-power efficiency (like for example the Vega 56). While some continue to argue that density is important and all that, I challenge those people to do the actual math behind it. I don't have time to post my computations here but the cost of density is not worth it. Just get more vegas and build more rigs. You will even end up earning more.

The hard part is getting Vegas for a decent price though most places are sold out or very high priced.  I would LOVE a few Vega's at retail price but that is hard to find.

 Newegg hits that point on occasional sales, usually the Gigabyte "white" 3-fan Windforce model or the ASUS or MSI blower models.

Probably till volta

I dont think Volta will change anything seeing Titan V performance almost similar to 1080 ti give it a really good Boost the next Ti in my opnion will be at most around 15 percent more hashrate and 20 percent less energy consumption but 30-40 percent more expensive.
Anyways Buying a 1080ti now will ROI it till when the Volta series hit consumers and are readily available
Also the name 1080 resembling 1080p will Forever remain Cool

You`re so full of crap... It is the best card at this time all things considered.

Agree, for now i'm still buying the 1080ti's.
Hopefully their consumer cards aren't too much more expensive than the current TI.

Zec is also now way off the most profitable with the TI.
They also take up less space and require less mobo etc because you don't need as many.

I'm a believer of "half the rigs half the problems", most my farm is 1080ti. That said a 1070ti has the price performance ratio of a 1080ti in shitcoins, and beats it in efficiency and price perf in Equihash and etash while not sacrificing too much on density.

Diversifying a little to 1070tis, equihash is too big to ignore but 1080tis are still awesome.

Not profitable? LOL ... Who said anything about mining ETH with it? ... My six card rig with Vega 56's is doing just fine with XMR.  Power consumption at 180W per card.  Average H/S is 1900 per card.  Paid $525 USD for each card.  Six more on back order that I paid $550/card for.  I would love to buy more at that price, but you can't find them anywhere at the moment, unless you pay some dumbass on Amazon 1000USD for one.

Bad, hot, and slow? You just aren't in the know, dude.

I just started mining and added a second 1080ti. Mining zcoin thats it. Have been holding and not converting.

Apparently I have a lot to learn.

Well, NVidia has announced that volta will be ready in late spring, maybe even summer.
So we have plenty of time left (in terms of life of gpus).
But new titan was already shown.. it costly.. but powerful though

Which means they pushed it back AGAIN - previous announcement I was aware of was "Feb 2018" for the first consumer cards.

 Not a shock though, given the great Vega "squib fizzle" as a high-end gaming card.

Seems like VEGA's are hard to get...AMD is not known for producing volume...did you buy them the day they were released (to get them at that price)?

Very soon nvidia releases new technology AMPER it will be stronger than vega arch

Ampere is the generation AFTER Volta, as I recall - and it won't be SOON.

 2019 at the earliest, most like 2020.

 I have to wonder if they are going to use "Ohm" for the generation after Ampere.



 For those that don't get the references, "Volt" as the standard unit of electrical potential is named after Volta, Ampere as the standard unit of current flow named after.....Ampere of course, and Ohm is the standard unit of resistance named after Ohm....

Now you can't even get this video card, damn.

Ridiculous prices

Are you stupid, even he have the internet and can do the Google search. He can check in the e-store or somewhere else. You can see the video cards discussion already doing many thread but you simply dig the dead thread 1 month before and posted your shit post.
Why the unneccessary information you have shared in this thread. I still do not understand. I want you to see the reply and after that you may don't this error in the forum.
