So I am trying to decide whether I should buy more 1080ti's or if I should buy 1070's? From what I have seen, the 1070's will give more hash power per dollar spent and are also more efficient power wise or hash per watt. Am I correct in my understanding? But, it seems to me that the 1080ti's would only be better if I was solo mining since they solve higher diff shares and would probably have a higher chance of finding a block? I am correct in my understanding of these issues, and do you agree or disagree?
It's about four years now that hardware manufacturers use 28nm transistor technology in their products, but since then, Nvidia uses its new 16-nanosecond Pascal technology in its first-line products. This technology has made Nvidia faster in terms of speed.
Of course, the technology of the 16nm transistor is not the only new technology used in the newly introduced NVIDIA cards, and the chipset also comes with FinFET technology. Along with this technology, we've seen 8 Gigabytes of RAM optimized for GDDR5X.
The GTX 1070 is still a better option for meining due to lower power consumption, a much cooler undercurrent (and, consequently, a quieter fan) and a more affordable price. The price of 1080 is very expensive, but if you have enough money, get 1080.
