Which one is best for mining?

TI.  More memory.

TI for certain is going to perform better but also the additional price of the TI should be factored in when making your decision.

The Ti's are always going to be a little better than the original.

That's both in hashing power and cooling.

The brand also makes a difference.

Gtx 1080 ti is better than gtx1080. Ti performance is better on games and mining.
Everyway i'm choosing ti. Anyone using gtx 980? i'm wondering it. if anyone use it please pm me :)

No doubts the 1080ti,

Seems its better to get a 1070 for mining than a 1080

1070Ti is also better than 1070.

A 1070Ti is actually better overall than a 1080.

I have both 1080 Ti and 1080 on the same rig. The 1080 hashrate is in average, about 70% of the 1080 Ti.

These days, with inflated price of 1080 Ti, the choice isn't that obvious anymore...

I also have 1070. To be honest, I don't think the 1070 is a clear winner over 1080 if you do hashrate/$ or hashrate/W. Once again, it also depends on algorithms.

1080 ti is pretty much across the board higher performance than the 1080 - but it also soaks more power to manage that higher performance, and costs a lot more even at NORMAL pricing.
1080 could sometimes be a little more COST effective when prices were normal.

 1070 ti can be more efficient then either the 1080 or 1080 ti in general, but tends to have lower performance when pushed than the 1080.

1080 ti, don't forget to take into account resale value as well.

So I think the answer to this question would be an obvious one here, obviously the 1080ti...

I think your question should also factor in the cost to performance ratio of the 1080 and the 1080ti.
You are going to spend around $200-$300 more for a 1080ti.
If you have a look below at the calculations from nicehash on both cards.

Please see the 1080 below:

and the 1080TI below:
https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti?e=0.1&currency=USD

So the income per month right now on the 1080 is $151.77 and $176.13 on the 1080ti.
That is a difference of $24.36 per month that you would be earning extra.
So to make up for the income difference per month is going to take some time.

Just take note that the 1080ti also has a higher power consumption.

Ti is better.

If you can buy a really cheap (second-hand) 1080 do it.
If the second-hand market is too high in your country buy directly a 1080 Ti. Ti are really better and the price difference is not huge. I bought my 2 Ti (new) at 650€. Second-hand 1080 are around 500-550 in my country...

Where is that prices? Now there is no GPUs in stock even at distributors not only at local stores and prices about 900$ for 1080 and 1200$ for 1080Ti. I hope that can't continue very long time and in March of 2018 the prices will go to normal

I have 2 rigs running currently both using NiceHash on windows 10

6 EVGA 1080 FTW
Running neoscrypt @ 7.02 MH/s
70TDP +50 core +500 memory
Draws approximately 1000 watts and 9 amps at the wall

The 2nd rig

6 Asus 1080ti turbo
Running neoscrypt @ 7.88 MH/s
65TDP +150 core +500 memory
Draws approximately 1150 watts and 9.5 amps at the wall

Interesting. I would have imagined the gap would be much bigger than that. Are you sure you have the 1080Ti's setup correctly? Maybe I do not understand neoscrypt but usually with most other coins the gap is a lot bigger.

Honestly I could not tell you if that’s optimal. I have only been doing this for a week or so. Just trying to share what information I have. Those were the hash rates when I looked before my last post. Just checked again hash rates are about the same as earlier. That is why I included what model and settings I am using. I would assume there will be some differences between models. I have 3 each of asus 1080 turbo and asus 1080 rog strix ordered I am curious to see how they compare to what I currently have.

From what I have been reading around that does not sound optimal. But it could just be that is the case with neoscrypt, though I have my doubts. Defiantly look into it further dude, you could be missing out on some hashes there.

ti is better but power consumption a bit higher

 EVGA 1080 FTW cards are somewhat higher TDP than "normal" for 1080 cards - 215 watts or some such IIRC, so at 70% they're pulling 150 watts or so per card (which would be 83% on many other 1080 models).
 Gigabyte AORUS 1080 ti is 250 watts TDP, at 65% they're pulling 163 watts or so per card.

 THAT is why the gap is so small.

My answer:

1080ti= The best, faster one but the most expensive. Might be too expensive really.

1080= Second in mining speed but for memory intensive algorythms (ETH). Can be found a prices similar to the 1070ti.

1070ti= Similar price to the 1080. Inferior performance but for ETH at which is probably the best or very close to the 1080ti.

1070= A bit cheaper than the both above. Very similar performance to the 1070ti.

1060= Don't understimate the little sister if density is not a problem for you. It has a great price for the hash. Even the 3gb versions, although the 3gb might not be enough for mining eth.

So IMHO, to decide which one you need to decide what is more important for you, price, performance, density, resell price. My pick is the 1080, great density, great price, if you are not hooked on mining eth it has better hash power than the 1070s. Also, 1080 has a great gaming performance which should make it easy to sell later on.

1080ti is better .

Agreed... my 1070Ti systems earn about the same as my 1080 systems and cost less (using algo switching setup).

Maybe buying a premium 1080 card you could beat the 1070Ti but then at even more cost.

This miningchamp newbie resurrected a thread last posted to 5 months ago, but I will nonetheless note that the ETHlargement pill has definitely breathed new life into the 1080. Mine went from about 540 H/s to 630 H/s on CryptoNight (still not a great use for the card, however) and from 21.4 MH/s to 30.3 MH/s on Ethash. The latter improvement is good enough it makes more sense to put the 1080 on Ethash rather than Equihash, especially now that ASICs have shown up for the latter algo.

If you use the Enlargement software to increase the memory efficiency, the 1080Ti is also very good.

i have both 1070 ti and 1080ti rigs and i would rather run more 1070ti's due to lower cost the hash extra from the 1080ti's doesnt make a sinificant enough difference to justify the extra cost .
also i wouldnt mine eth atm there are way more profitable algos to mine right now there are lost of equihash forks that are almost 20% more profitable than eth mining right now.

The only benefit for the 1080ti is the higher density.
