1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

[Temporel]

wanted to ask, is there any sense at the moment to engage in mining, because there is information that this case is more costly than profitable

only if you know what you are doing.

Profit is excellent at the moment

true

Guys I want to start mining but I've been going through the numbers and 1080Ti's are laughable in terms of profitability compared to an S9. I've used Nicehash numbers to come up with this hypothetical built (for which I don't have the money yet lolz) because I'm new to mining and don't know much about algorithms and other pools, etc.

16x1080Ti earnings per month: 0.195BTC
16xS9 earnings per month: 1.399BTC

16x1080Ti (JUST the GPUs) price: 13k
16xS9 (with PSU+shipping) price: 25k

No electricity in the calculation and the price for the other components needed to have the GPU rig done are not yet included. This means you pay less than double the price for S9 but get 7 times the earnings. Someone explain to me why exactly GPU mining is "profitable"? Sure you can make money with it but it's not as profitable as mining with S9 on Nicehash. o.o

what i have understanded from reading and collecting info from other guys is that the Bitmain that creats the S9 will release new miner soon and they will cut down the profit on the S9 such as they have done with the S7 and all the other mininer they have builded. thats why if you buy an S7 your profit will be realy low to nothing while on a 1060 and even a bit older GPU you can still make some profit even if bit low. So those 25-35K $ that you will spend on those 16x S9's will be a waste since you have to buy the newest product since the S9 will not make good profit. thats why on youtube you see people posted in july where the price of the S9 was 2800$ and now it's only 1415$ and you can even get it lower than that =). The GPU is good for the long run and at the same time if everything goes to hell you can still sell the GPU to gamers that will pay some good money for it while the S9 won't have eny buyer =).

In the long run it's more profitable with GPU.

Fromage ... I really like your Sniffdog .. it's so neat and light........
1. Can you please help in pointing where to set some extra arguments like ..... "-q" or my custom setting of "-i" for each algo and each miner. I tried just close to "-Join". but don't know if any better place.
2. Is it possible to scale an algo by boosting it more compared to others when selection criteria is taken. Like i want to apply "1.25 times" neoscrypt in hashrefinery than others during the selection. Is there a way ?

Yes I can help you out...

Goto the Miners folders and "right click" to edit the ccminer files. Inside you will see where I have already added -i to some of the algos. Majority of my -i adds where in ccmineralexis due to some were saying it was needed for rigs over 4 cards.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,

I am planing on getting the GTX 1080. is it important to get the 11 GB or the 8 GB can do the same job and mine as good as the 11 Gb can??
The diffrent in price is almost 300$ on each GPU!

You will be a lot happier with the 11gb 1080ti or the new 1070ti

My 1080 I use for World of Warcraft...

Guys, what are you mining right now? And what's the profit per card?

I've heard that ETH is good coin to mine (:sarcasm:)
p.s. smartcash still good ))

which ccminer version is the best one for lyra2rev2?

i'm using alexis with my 1080ti with 65mh/s, is that good?

[crocozino]

yes, it is the best choice from free miners now
the better I think is a modded miner from SP, though some members told that the hashrates on the poll really low with SP miner

I have been trying latest miners but I cant get more than 45 mhs from my EVGA 1080ti on lyra2rev2 for mona.

Please tell me which miner you use for 65mhs and which oc settings. I have 5 rigs, all of them are same

any ccminer, even the old ones should give you more than 62 Mhs. Im using one from 2015 and I get 67 Mhs (lyra2rev2) without any OC.

[moriteri]

Thank you, but I have tried ccminer 2.2.3 and tpruvot and cannot get those hash. OC is at %100 power; +50 clock +250 mem

if the difference wasnt enormous, I wouldn't mind too much. But 45-65 is TOO much difference.

can you give me a link for alexis miner or can you direct me in any other way?

[mpirun]

Alexis (compiled with cuda9) hashes are not recognized by mph. I get per Alexis's about 69, but mph only reports about 40.

Anyone with this issue?.

The best miner I've found for lyra2v2 is  excavator, but only works for nicehash. When I point it to mph it happens the same as with Alexis, not recognizing all the hashes the pool.

I dont use alexi. What is your hashrate if you remove your OC settings ?

[moriteri]

Oh god thanks a lot. After trying many miners, I found it

ccminer-2.2-mod-r2

I get 60+ now. Not 65+ but is good enough.

thanks

How long until Volta comes out?  Seems questionable whether it is worth dropping 750$ on a 1080ti right now.  Isn't it getting "old" at this point?

[killerelite]

I heard Volta will come with HBM 2 technology and persoanlly I think devs will take some times to fully optimize and utilitize the next gen there out of box hashrate might be similar to fury x etc and if there power consumption is just as much it won't be worth it and anyways the days u aren't investing are the days you aren't getting any profit
And even after announcements the cards will take over a month to be available for sale
Personally I would buy more 1080tis just because of the lyra2z algo
I am currently looking at ASICS like s9 but have never bought them before but there profit now  a days seems too real to be true
1400 dollar machine and getting 1000 dollars per month seems unbelieveable
