Title: Help with my 2x1080TI setup
Post by: choff5507 on December 16, 2017, 06:44:15 PM
So, I am currently running 2 cards until I can get mining rig setup this next week. I currently am running a EVGA SC black and a Gigabyte OC Gaming 1080TI. I only added the Gigabyte card today and for the last week have only been running the EVGA card.

Anyway, when I was only running the EVGA card I was getting ~68MH/sec. Can anyone tell me what would be good power/GPU/mem clock offsets would be for both of these cards so I can optimal results.

I should mention I am running only Lyra2rev2 right now. 

Currently I have the following settings/temps:

EVGA=90% power, +50GPU, +0 mem temp is a solid 81C (Seems since adding the other Gigabyte card it's drove it up a solid 10C) 63MH/sec

Gigabyte=95% power, +70GPU, +0 mem temp is a solid 71C   65MH/sec


In total Im getting 128MH/sec

Im wondering what the optimal settings would be. Also seems that the extra fan/larger heatsink on the Gigabyte is making a good difference on temps.


Also, any easy way to turn off the LED's on both these cards?

I don't run lyra on anything, so can't make specific suggestions on settings for it.

 There is, AFAIK, no way to turn the LEDS off on those cards - but the LED power draw is very minimal (probably 2 digit MILLIWATTS for all the LEDS combined on those cards) so even if you COULD turn them off you wouldn't notice the difference on power draw.

 I DO wish GPU makers would drop the "useless fancy supposedly pretty but more IRRITATING" LEDs on cards though - a led on the power to indicate status is usefull, otherwise they're a waste of money and COST TO DESIGN THE THINGS INTO THE CARDS that I find to be annoying.

What OS are you using? For Windows, you should be able to find some settings under the Nvidia GeForce Experience settings. For most Linux distributions, there should be an LED setting that you can change with the nvidia-settings command line tool.

Im under Windows. The lights are more annoying than anything but Im really curious about optimal settings.

 Why would a mining machine install that POS?

 I don't install that worse than worthless piece of garbage on my GAMING machines any more.
