1080 Ti mining OC and power?

[PovertyByte]

I know some people have gotten these by now

How are the mining results after OC and with what power targets, fans, and temps?


I need to figure out if I am going to use my EVGA step up for a GTX 1080 with the price drop or a 1080 Ti

I just wasted like 10 minutes of my life watching your videos trying to find the answer you presumably hid within them.

No such luck, the videos themselves are basically a camera shaking in the direction of a computer with a long drawn out narrative.

I only got back to the thread now but I never assumed the mining results would be in the video based on the title. It's titled like a basic setup series. At the most there may be OC results but the typical setup series does not illustrate the OC performance on 50-100-100+ % TDP

I would have never clicked the videos

mine with a GTX 1080 Ti? that's crazy. the mining profit may not be enough to cover the damage to the card.

I'm trying to buy 1080 Ti, but there is a lot of available brands MSI, Gigabyte, Founders Edition,... which one do you recommend?
Thank you!

the founder edition blowers get really hot mining at stock speeds. So you need to have a case or cooling that is appropriate for the blower.

Really? What is considered high? This speed should be what the 1080 Ti is supposed to do when i compare the speed to my 1070s and 1080s

This is an honest question. Why would you throw money away buying a bleeding edge graphics card when you can buy 3-4 other cards for the same price with a combined hash rate that will shit all over that card for overall value and hashrate?


edit: You can buy 5 RX470s for the same price as the one Ti.

I play games on my PC, so i like to have a high end GPU to power my 144HZ 1440P monitor.  I also dont like having 3-4 spaces taken up for multiple GPUs when i can have a powerful one take just one slot and use the same amount of power and probably less vs the 3-4 other cards. Another reason is once the ROI (~5-6 months for a single Ti to pay for itself) is done i make a lot more profit from there on out vs going cheap and multiple less powerful space hogging cards

Hmm...

5 x 470 = ~140 Mh/s on ETH which is about $16 / day

1 x 1080ti = ~1000 Mh/s on Skein which is about $16 / day

I'm not even going to talk about power consumption or space savings in this scenario

There is a new software build that gets it up to 1000.

Of course you need to do the build as no one has done it for you.

It involves more work then a simple download unzip extraction .

So I decided to not mine skein until the software is done for all as a simple download extract add a bat.

My position is the pools should do this for the miners.
And at this Moment they have not.


This all goes to my belief that alt coins are pump by major companies to sell Thier gear.

So to make it hard to download and mine skein is shortsighted on skein developers and skein pools.

This is true of every gpu coin.

So I mine zcash and make 1/2 that I would on skein.

Not because I don't know how to blend the spilt software but on principle,

is that the alexis sib version right? i can do 550MH with a single 1070, a 1080 doing almost double of that is amazing, too bad the 1080 can't do 90% more hash on other algo as well

Yeah and too bad you can't do a straight download extract add a bat as people try to keep the higher hash rate harder to do.

This discouraging purchase of Nvidia cards to mine
Maybe a bright worker at Nvidia will read this post and post a proper easy Peasy build for the slower newer miners to use.

This would simply increase sales of Nvidia gpus

[jwarren81]

I just downloaded Nemo's miner pack and pulled out the Alexis build from that.  I'm hoping eventually tpruvot will bring in the modifications from the fork so its in the main build that he does, but haven't seen it yet.  I actually switched back to the spmod version of ccminer for skein as I was having problems with the Alexis version not spinning up all the GPU's in a timely fashion.  It would go for minutes with only two or three GPUs running instead of all 6.  It was also reporting oddly from the api so my multi mining scripts were not able to get an accurate read of the hashrate from it.

If the price of the altcoin remains high, it is very profitable.

So I already have a rig of 6 RX AMD cards mainly for ETH  mining and maybe will do some Dual mininig as well. Sorry for the quite long post but really appreciate any guidance.

My main computer is Skylake Xeon 1260L v5 CPU, Asrock E3V5 Gaming Mobo, Seasonic X750 KM3 PSU, GT 420 just to boot, NZXT Noctis 450 Case, ssd,rams and TT Water 3.0 on CPU
It was not built for mining in mind but I figured out I can use it with a powerful single or maybe dual Nvida cards for Skein coins and/or Zcash as well and make it get the money I will be paying for  Nvdia gaming GPU

Why Nvidia: I already have AMD rig, Nvidia has low power consumption, good gaming experience and nice resell value where I live (do not get shocked when you see used gpu prices in below)

I will buy Nvidia GPU from my local market to have warranty and for some brands (Asus, MSI and Gigabyte) it is 3 years while Zotac give 2 year local and 3 more years of international warranty.

Cards are kinda expensive where I live. Used GTX 1070 400USD, Used GTX 1080 555USD. Used GTX 970 is around 210-230USD. New GTX 1080ti is like 900-1100USD.

I do not plan to use more than two GPUs as I will be using current system without buying/upgrading. Actually my mobo only supports Crossfire but no SLI so dual Nvdia cards will make no good for me for gaming but only for mining. One option for dual Nvdia GPU would be using one of them for gaming while the other one mines and both of them mining when I dont game.

Electricity cost 0.11-0.13 USD/Kwh.

I am more inclined to a single GTX 1080ti rather than dual GTX 1070/1080 considering no SLI support.

I think my CPU will not bottleneck a 1080ti as I can OC it to stock i7 6700/7700 level easily as my passmark test result indicate.

If I invest 950-1000 USD local purchase (or  775-800 USD international purchase) for a 1080Ti now does it make sense for my condiitons?

If yes which brand and model would you suggest to buy?

Can it ROI in 4 months or till the Volta GTX GTX 2070/2080 comes into market and kills it price and performance wise

High performance gaming will be a very good side benefit for me.

I will also buy a new monitor (most likely 27 inches, 1440p and SYNC) depending on my new gaming GPU.

Thank you all.

I tried downloading ccminer 1.0 (alexis) but can't get it to work mining skein on my 1070 amp extreme...keep getting an 'invalid argument' error. 

is there a link that I can go to to download and compile it myself?  not much on the internet to be found just yet.

Hi zer0k, did you have any issues setting -ac with the 1080 ti? I have a script I used for my 1080's last year that set max mem/gpu clocks, but it gives an error that looks vaguely familiar (running the shell as admin already, so it's not that):

Setting applications clocks is not supported for GPU 0000:01:00.0.
Treating as warning and moving on.
All done.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How are the mining results after OC and with what power targets, fans, and temps?

I'm getting 980Mh/s skein, but hot as a sidewalk in July. Fan at 85%, temp 75c, power 100, core +200, mem -502. Can't get the old smi -ac trick to work; says gpu can't be changed. Someone's gotta know if that's a Ti issue, or if I'm missing some new step.

100%  tdp = waste

75% tdp
+225 core
-300 memory
75% fan

should do about the same  hash with lower power use.

[Tuner77]

100%  tdp = waste

Yeah, I was just posting my max settings. I can get it to hit 1k but it's too hot and too expensive. 80% power gives me 910, so 7% reduction in speed for -20% power. I may go a little lower, not sure. For this card I'm not power conscious. I just wish I could get that 10% bump from smi -ac. It was easy peasy with the 1080's. smi says no dice on my ti. Any other fine-tuning tips for a ti? I've been amd for a year, so I'm trying to remember where I left off. Last year it looked like cuda was a bad play. Wish I'd held all those vtc, lbc, etc. But that's trading/investing, not mining.

Find  your core max   on a Founders Card  it is 220 to 290

memory is not important  lower the better  -500  -400 -300  all good  save some power  some  founder cards will let you do

tdp 70%
core 290
mem -500
fan     75%

those settings save power and get into the 935 area  only a few of my founder cards do that.

[Tuner77]

Hey Philip, I got to thinking, unlike last year where power saving on a 1080 made sense because payout was tiny, the payout is so high right now that power saving is a real loss if it pulls your hashrate down even a small amount. Can you check my math here?

A 1080 Ti at 250W at $0.1/kwh is only costing about $.70 a day ($0.60, but add some for the system). If you cut power cost by 20%, you save $0.14. Chump change.

A 20% cut in power results in a 7% cut in hashrate on my 1080 Ti. At $15/day, that's $1.05. Real money.

yeah  and over heat burn a card .

At the moment  I have in my 90f garage    4 rigs 

using 3 1070's  and 10 1080ti's   pulling 10 amps = 2400 watts.  for 10.1gh-11 gh

If I jack it all up  and run at 85%   vs 70%   I will boost 10 % hash for  a 20% power boost   as 70 to 85 is a 20 %

my watts will go to  at least 2900  and my cooling is indirect ac as I have not been able to run in my garage for year in the summer.  But these profits are so high  I can do it.

I made .06 btc  today that is  150 usd 

So in my case if I crank  everything up  and earn  165 usd

it is 4500 a month vs 4950   just 1 thing breaks  and poof goes the extra  450.

I am in the game long term.  So If I run trouble free  and earn

 4500 June
 4000 July
 3500 Aug
12,000  easy peasy  no break downs

vs balls to the wall

4900
4400
3900 
13200   earnings   or maybe  2000  less say 11200 due to dead gear   I take the easy route.

I have had to wait  90 days on a mobo rma and   3 weeks on a video card if I kill a few 1080

cards they may make me wait months for replacements.


I see zero reason to mine at 85 % or higher power vs 70%

[Tuner77]

Makes sense! Guess I've been lucky pushing hardware. 10x1080ti = nice! I'm still nervous about cuda. Last year they paid good for a few months then terrible compared to Polaris. Even now a $250 Polaris card yields $4.50/day. Most cuda coins are averaging $7-9 on a $750 card. Dgp being a nice exception (until the diff skyrockets like it already is).

[NetopyrMan]

hehe i had same feeling ... dont lower TDP you are loosing so much hashrates ... 75% tdp +220core = 870mh/s (180w) ... 100% tdp +220 = 1024mh/s (248w) ... those 60watts are 1 cent in hour so i realy dont know, why undervolt 1080ti ...

That's why I go half Nvidia and half AMD...
For the moment I have only 1070's and i'm thinking about 1080ti's, but a 1070 would be ok if I have to switch to ETH+SIA not the 1080ti (3x amd price for about the same revenu is too expensive compared to x2 on 1070).

hehe i had same feeling ... dont lower TDP you are loosing so much hashrates ... 75% tdp +220core = 870mh/s (180w) ... 100% tdp +220 = 1024mh/s (248w) ... those 60watts are 1 cent in hour so i realy dont know, why undervolt 1080ti ...

so,
1080TI: 1024Mh/s at 248W
1070: 500-510 at 100 to 112W (what I see on my rig depends of the card).

means 1080ti is worth it only if you need more density.

Hi there,

i am currently using ccminer-2.0-release-x64-cuda-8.0 on my 1080ti and getting around 650-720 MH/s with skein algo and power targets 70-100%. How do you get 1000+ ?

Is skein the best way to mine with 1080ti? What do u think about lyra2v2 ?

1070 = Half the price, half the hash. But good call about versatility w/ETH+SIA.
1080ti = Half the space, half the problems.

[oup59]

I have GTX980Ti and looking to mine something with it to experience Nvida mining. It is not power efficient but I should mine around GTX 1070.

I plan to get 2x1080Ti to use my computer as a mining rig when it is idle (like 20 hours a day)

Since it is a regular case (I will use it as open frame though) and I have 750W PSU in it 2x1080ti is what I can go top.

I travelled through posts and ZCash and Skein look nice to mine.

Which mining software dou guys suggest on which pool?

CCminer, Multiminer, Nicehash, NemosMiner?
Zpool, Yiimp, Multihubpool?

Thanks.

Thank you, mate. This one is doing the 1M 

[creat326]

ok i'm trying ccminer but how do I set it up to use skein? I'm checking the help
https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/blob/windows/README.txt

And not much help, looks foreigner to me.

I've tried this
ccminer -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PmA6g1TyYdCFEM252PTy84droymFeshsJ

but then I get error:

And that when it gives me an error. Sometimes it gives no error and it just exit without running anything.

It's my first time trying to do this so I'm not sure if I need more parameters to ccminer or i'm giving something wrong. You guys are the experts, how do you run this thing?

Thanks

[creat326]

Thank you, mate. This one is doing the 1M 

which one did you pick? I'm trying the cude 7.5 version and I get around 700... not able to hit 1M
I also tried LBRY but no output is displayed when I set the algorithm to skein so I don't know what's the speed.

[creat326]

also, you don't allow for programs to pick the best currency to mine instead of just placing skein by default?
Like for instance this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.0
it doesn't work well?

[Tuner77]

Anyone know why What To Mine's main GPU comparison page shows DGB-Groestl(DGB) with "Myriad-Groestl" and a black circle with an "i" in it? (can't click on it). It's listed as the top GPU coin/algo for CUDA, but seems to report a value higher than what I get. If I mine with Groestl, I get about 110Mh/s per 1080Ti, and I get the exact same speed with myriad-groestl, and the same payout, both of which are lower than WTM's comparison page reports.

When you click on "DGB-Groestl(DGB)" and enter your values on that page, it shows a lower payout than on the main comparison page, and it's more accurate with actual pool earnings, but doesn't mention myriad-groestl, only groestl. There is no page to specifically for Myriad-Groestl-DGB (that I can find).

I'm not even mining DGB with either algo (using skein). I just want to make sure there isn't a myriad-groestl miner out there that gets much higher values than skein.

[lexele]

Whattomine is not accurate for dgb-groestl on front page.
It seems to be accurate on coin page.

[Vaccinus]

Whattomine is not accurate for dgb-groestl on front page.
It seems to be accurate on coin page.

yeah because they are doing a ratio of 1.4 on the hashrate versus myr groestl, so the earning it's not right there, check on the block factory pool, the earning is very accurate there, but for now i think skein is delivering better profit, i would mine that for dgb

[Plumbus]

Hey Philip, I got to thinking, unlike last year where power saving on a 1080 made sense because payout was tiny, the payout is so high right now that power saving is a real loss if it pulls your hashrate down even a small amount. Can you check my math here?

A 1080 Ti at 250W at $0.1/kwh is only costing about $.70 a day ($0.60, but add some for the system). If you cut power cost by 20%, you save $0.14. Chump change.

A 20% cut in power results in a 7% cut in hashrate on my 1080 Ti. At $15/day, that's $1.05. Real money.

yeah  and over heat burn a card .

At the moment  I have in my 90f garage    4 rigs 

using 3 1070's  and 10 1080ti's   pulling 10 amps = 2400 watts.  for 10.1gh-11 gh

If I jack it all up  and run at 85%   vs 70%   I will boost 10 % hash for  a 20% power boost   as 70 to 85 is a 20 %

my watts will go to  at least 2900  and my cooling is indirect ac as I have not been able to run in my garage for year in the summer.  But these profits are so high  I can do it.

I made .06 btc  today that is  150 usd 

So in my case if I crank  everything up  and earn  165 usd

it is 4500 a month vs 4950   just 1 thing breaks  and poof goes the extra  450.

I am in the game long term.  So If I run trouble free  and earn

 4500 June
 4000 July
 3500 Aug
12,000  easy peasy  no break downs

vs balls to the wall

4900
4400
3900 
13200   earnings   or maybe  2000  less say 11200 due to dead gear   I take the easy route.

I have had to wait  90 days on a mobo rma and   3 weeks on a video card if I kill a few 1080

cards they may make me wait months for replacements.


I see zero reason to mine at 85 % or higher power vs 70%

Don't 1080tis start throttling at 84C though?  That's well below the safe limit

[enioosasco]

This is an honest question. Why would you throw money away buying a bleeding edge graphics card when you can buy 3-4 other cards for the same price with a combined hash rate that will shit all over that card for overall value and hashrate?


edit: You can buy 5 RX470s for the same price as the one Ti.

Hmm...

5 x 470 = ~140 Mh/s on ETH which is about $16 / day

1 x 1080ti = ~1000 Mh/s on Skein which is about $16 / day

I'm not even going to talk about power consumption or space savings in this scenario

-----------------------------------------

Does your comparison show that the billing of a 1080 ti card is $ 16 per day? That's right?
Does it mean that if I put 6 1080 cards you get 96 dollars / day?

What is Skein?

[reb0rn21]

Today you will not get more then 5$ or less... it was only a week or so 10+

[zer0k]

Today you will not get more then 5$ or less... it was only a week or so 10+

Yep...mining is constantly changing

A 1080 ti is now ~$6  day
And a 480/580 is ~$3 or so

But...you can still buy 1080 ti's at the moment and the 480/580 shortage continues

The 1080Ti is more than double the price of 480. But you can buy them.

[kemo6600]

And if we get another wave of Crytpo currency increase , then you wont find any 1080 TIs in stock .
First RX570/Rx580 dissapred , followed by 1060GTX , then 1070GTX , now we are stuck with 1050TI , 1080 GTX , 1080 TI.
Another wave of prices increase  and you will only find 1080 GTX .

Edit: got it working, needed to set up a batch file, and thanks to nokia555 for his posted walkthrough.

Thank you, mate. This one is doing the 1M  

Hey how did you get it working? I'm on windows 10 with a 1080ti.

I downloaded 1.5.81:

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases/

release81.7z

and then I extracted and it and see that it only comes with the application... am I missing something? (edit: I created a skein bat file and it works, intensity is 20.. getting 800-900 M/hashes, stock GPU settings..)

------

Then I also downloaded:

https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer

and then I see that it doesn't come with an application...

.. I'm coming from ccminer 2.0, which has the application, and I successfully ran my 1080ti over there, but like you guys I was only getting around 600's



But back to the subject... am I supposed to combine the sp 1.5.81 application into the ccminer windows folder(from alexis)? I did that too and ran the app and it crashed... help??

100%  tdp = waste

Yeah, I was just posting my max settings. I can get it to hit 1k but it's too hot and too expensive. 80% power gives me 910, so 7% reduction in speed for -20% power. I may go a little lower, not sure. For this card I'm not power conscious, but I'm doing a 7x1080ti rig, and I'll definitely drop that to the sweet point. I just wish I could get that 10% bump from smi -ac. It was easy peasy with the 1080's. smi says no dice on my ti. Any other fine-tuning tips for a ti? I've been amd for a year, so I'm trying to remember where I left off. Last year it looked like cuda was a bad play. Wish I'd held all those vtc, lbc, etc. But that's trading/investing, not mining.

Find  your core max   on a Founders Card  it is 220 to 290

memory is not important  lower the better  -500  -400 -300  all good  save some power  some  founder cards will let you do

tdp 70%
core 290
mem -500
fan     75%

those settings save power and get into the 935 area  only a few of my founder cards do that.

Sorry if I missed the point, but is it good to lower the mem clock and oc the core?

I am mining with NiceHash on 970 and 1070 and both are: core lowered as possible and mem oc as possible, tdp at 80%...
Is it with the 1080ti only that this is the way?

[Kejvu]

Hello all. I just got my Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti and on Stock it get 730 sol/s and when i oc it: +91 and +300 its get 780 but after a 1min from 100 TDP its drop to  ~70% TDP and get around ~500 Sol/s with Zcash. Can anyone help me?

yea, then i get around 700 sol/s i dont need to worry about wats, it is to cheap for me. i wanna best sol/s i can get from card.


Power limit 104%
Core clock: +60

i get around 750-760 Sol/s


edit:

i just set my Power Limit to 85%
core: +100

Memory DOES make a difference on equihash - though not a big one on the 1080 ti.

 On my Aorus (not the extreme), I found that +100 core +100 memory was the best setting for speed/efficiency that was stable - +150 memory gave a few more sol/s but wasn't long-term stable as those cards seem to push the memory pretty hard already, +200 memory gave me LOWER sol/s probably because it pushed the card up into the next "strap" range with higher latency settings.

 50% TDP (125 watts) gave 505 hash - don't bother this is a waste of the card.
 60% TDP (150 watts) gave 620 hash - this seems to be the best efficiency point that still has decent hashrate.
 70% TDP (175 watts) gave 680 hash - efficiency dropping but not a LOT yet
 80% TDP (200 watts) gave 725 hash - efficiency dropoff getting noticeable
 90% TDP (225 watts) gave 760 hash - ditto
100% TDP (250 watts) gave 780 hash - waste of power unless you have VERY VERY cheap power, and even then it's a bit iffy - though the cards still runs pretty cool at this setting as long as it's NOT in a hot room.


 Other cards may vary, though all of the cards I have to date (1 Gigabyte Windforce, 1 EVGA SC, pair of Aorus) all seem to match nearly identically up to about the 80% point, then the EVGA and Windforce start dropping a bit as temp doesn't let them boost the core as much.

Quint you don't happen to have a 1070Ti do you?  I am about to start to config one tomorrow but wondering if you have a starting point =)

[QuintLeo]

You didn't see the existing 1070 ti threads (about 3 of them) yet?

 I have a pair of EVGA SC and one Zotac Mini so far - all 3 run stable at +200 core +700 memory in nvidia-settings under LINUX (or Afterburner on the one card I tried under Windows early on) - 104 watts seems to be THE best efficiency point but anywhere in the 100-110 range is very very good (or 60% in Afterburner, which should get you to 106 watts on all of them so far).

[QuintLeo]

Did some testing last night on my 1070 ti cards - and NO hashrate change under LINUX when I moved them from +700 core to +900, +1100, +1200 (didn't bother testing past that point).

It does appear that LINUX works with "effective" clockrates though not with the base clockrate like Afterburner does, based on some testing I did on 1070 cards (none of which would run stable at +550 or higher under Windows, but were ALL comfortable at +900 under LINUX with noticeable ETH hashrate gains).

[Bimmber]

I'm trying to buy 1080 Ti, but there is a lot of available brands MSI, Gigabyte, Founders Edition,... which one do you recommend?
Thank you!

aorus

My experience with Aorus Xtreme is not that good. My Palit Gamerock cards run way better and clock higher.

[QuintLeo]

Palit is not available in some parts of the world, apparently including ALL of North America (and definitely the US) through normal distribution channels.
Makes it hard to compare 2 cards when I've never seen either (all of my Aorus are the "standard" 1080 ti model, NOT the Extreme).

How much faster than EWBF with the same setting?

[Bimmber]

Haven`t tried EWBF, only DSTM and Bminer.

[QuintLeo]

I was using EWBF - have played with DSTM a little but so far it gives the same hashrate (give or take 1%) as EWBF on my cards at the settings I use - NOT worth the 2% dev fee.

This is not to say "don't try DSTM yourself", as YOUR cards at YOUR settings might see more than a 2% improvement in hashrate and there is no way to know for sure 'till you TRY it.

I have not tried BMiner and am unlikely to do so as all of my Nvidia systems at this point are LINUX based and I see ZERO reason to move back to the instability of Windows on them.
I only tolerate Windows on my Polaris and Vega AMD based rigs as the LINUX drivers for the recent generation AMD cards are junk and support is WAY worse than for the fglrx (R9 3xx and older) generation cards, which wasn't SUPER great to start with.

I will share my 1080ti settings for best results in zcash mining with you guys,

Power Target to 65%
GPU Clock Offset +60
Mem Clock Offset need to be figured out be everyone self.

With these Setting I have less power and a better soll to power ratio with my 1080tis

What it does you just undervolt and overclock your GPUs
In some times you need more mem but you can play around with the setting till you find your sweet spot.

In some times you need more mem but you can play around with the setting till you find your sweet spot.

How many sol/s are you getting on zcash with these settings? And how many sol/w ?

@QuintLeo
Which driver and cuda version are you using?

EWBF on lubuntu 16.04 getting 730-740 sol/s, same as dstm.
Power 225w, +100 core, +100 memory

Maybe I lost the 'silicon lottery' on these cards.

No clue on cuda version.
I THINK they are running the 384.98 drivers, as I also have 1070 ti cards in the machine.

Are you getting the same hashrate on the Aorus as on the Zotac?

Also, try +100 core +200 memory - I figured out LINUX works with "effective" clock rates not with "base" clock rates a couple nights back, and the +100 +100 came from testing on a Windows machine.

Aorus 740 sol/s
Zotac 730 sol/s
Sometimes they are getting the same hashrate, most of the time the aorus is +10 sol/s more than the zotac.

I've tried 384.111, 387.34 and 390.30
390.30 gets the best hashrate so far.

Not sure which cuda version the miner is really using. I tried to remove 7.5 and install 9.1
When I run the following commands I get different versions.

$ cat /usr/local/cuda/version.txt
CUDA Version 9.1.85

$ nvcc --version

All of the Pascal cards are listed as CUDA Compute 6.0 or 6.1 capability.
I'm not sure where the numbers you are getting are from or about?


Might just be card-to-card variation. Have you tried +100 core +200 memory yet, since you're running it on Linux?

[VicTwenty]

"384.111, 387.34 and 390.30" are the driver versions.

+100 core +200 memory
average is Aorus 730 sol/s and Zotac 720 sol/s.

+75 core +600 memory gives a similar hashrate.
Tried upping the core, found that +105 is the limit. Anymore then that and the miner will crash after a few hours.

Every card is different, even among the same models; however, 1999 appears to be a sweet spot for core OC for 1080ti.

[QuintLeo]

For reference, just moved all 3 of my Aorus 1080 ti cards to one rig together yesterday (long planned change that I finally got around to driven by my moving my Vega into my gaming machine to replace one of the 1080 ti cards).
There is noticeable variation between the cards depending on position IN the rig (the outside card does noticeable better no matter WHICH actual card is in that slot).

Boost clock reaction to temperature of the GPU (and RAM perhaps?) makes a noticeable difference on hashrate AND efficiency for those 3 cards, even though actual card-t0-card variation is very small between the 3.

I'm trying to set and oveclock some GTX1080ti 11gb on HIVE OS with Lyra2rev2 algo. 

Problem is that either with stock or overclock values I don't get more than 53 MHs.
So I tried with windows and Nicehash excavator and I have the standards 68MHs. So problem is not the card.

I think so the problem may be the CCminer installed in Hive or I'm not using the right miner fork. Does someone  that uses HIVE can give me a suggestion about how to solve?

Thank you!
