1080 Ti mining OC and power?

[boby-1]

Does GPU mining is profitable?

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

1000 mh/s? I thought it was more like 600

Nope

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

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.

I bought gtx 1080ti not to oc.

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

what model of 1080ti you used?

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,

Can you give a link to the software?

It is quite profitable at the moment. So just enjoy.

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.

Hello!
If you compile it, could you share it with me? I tried to compile, but have errors.

I've got my EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3 - overclocked - up to 72 MH/s on Lyra2Rev2 with NiceHash

Silly question but what's Skein? I googled and nothing useful came up. Is it a currency? what's the exchange rate? I can't find any info, no wallet for it or anything.

Skein is a POW mining algorithm used by a couple coins like Skeincoin, Digibyte and Myriadcoin

Right now I have a choice between 4 1080ti's or 6 1070's - not sure what to jump on

both.. 

though in my defense, the system with four 1080ti has one 1060 with it also.   

[Tuner77]

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.

Yhanks. And how do you find the exchange rate? Which one has the highest value for mining using gtx 1080?
