1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

[zorvalth]

What Driver is everyone on?

I don't remember bad drivers from nvidia, so the latest is usually the best option (and sometimes also the fastest for some miners, sp-mods for example often work better with the latest drivers). I'm running 388.31 on a couple of rigs and don't have any problems with them.

Since 387 i got 15% lower hash on neoscrypt on 1070 but 1080/1080ti is not good on neoscrypt so probably the last one are fine. Dont know if any other algo is affected. 385.41 works fine on neo. Dont know when nvidia broke them.

I get the same speed with EWBF and DSTM, i am running ryzens though so that may be why?

Not likely, both miners put very little load on cpu.

I just got some of my BF 1080 Ti:s.
What miner are you guys using for Equihash ?

I am running EWBF's 0.3.4b miner right now.

Power limit 70
Core +150
Mem +550

I am stuck at around 580-600 sol/s

I am using these ones:

1080ti's are quite different.

I have a bunch of EVGA-SC, MSI-Duke, that just love 72%TDP +50/+500 and will pull 680 sols.

But my ASUS STRIX will be low 600's at 72% TDP. They get a nice figure at 76% TDP.

So you have to test a lot.

Anyone have a EVGA SC2? Its sweating something on its backplate. Daheck is this? lol

[treasure9]

Guys there were no discussion last couple pages, what do you mine today?
Seems like Zcoin is still one of most profitable coins. Also todays spike of MONA seems to be a good option as well. Any other observations?

It's not the cards that are different but simply the values in their BIOS. For one card the TDP = 250W. And for another card it's 280W or more. So when you do your overclocking in percentages instead of actual clocks/voltages, different cards might perform differently. But if you do it the "old-school" way by setting the clocks and voltages manually — all 1080 Tis perform ~ the same.

EVGA cards have lots of thermal pads between the baseplate/backplate and the pcb. They're leaking when heated.

never had similar issue with nvidia , amd on the other hand start throwing out oil from the fans if they run at high temp ( rx480 nitro +)
i have the sc2 hybrid , mc 700, cc 125, tdp 90 -770sol/s

It's not oil from the fans on rx 480 nitro cards, it's exactly the same as with other gpus — oily liquid comes from the thermal pads. Plenty of nvidia cards have this issue as well, although some nitros were notoriously bad with this.

SC2 Hybrid runs a lot cooler than the regular SC2, so you're less likely to experience this kind of issue.

never reached temp above 45C and fan is always at 0 rpm

Thanks for sharing, always good hearing back from the community, appreciate it.  I went ahead and downloaded 388.31, we'll see how it goes.  I'll be doing skein and equihash.

*UPDATE: I installed/upgraded to 388.31, I don't see any differences in hash rate, which isn't a bad thing either.

So I'm mining BTC with the NiceHash miner and I mine about 4.50$USD/day with an hashrate of 70MH/s. I heard zcoin is more profitable though. My card is a 1080 Ti Founder's Edition.

Nicehash does not mine BTC.

My mistake. The payout is in BTC but it amounts to 4.50/day or around that.

anyone tried mining smartcash with the 1080ti? whats your rate?

[wacko]

~1300 MH/s with free miner, ~ 1450-1500 Mh/s with paid spmod (could get more of course, that's with cards @ 0.825V).

Dont worry about the sweat on your GPU.  I had some 280x that looked wet all over and they were never a problem.  Im sure they are still hashing to this day in some dark gpu mine somewhere

Damn that gave me goosebumps, I imagined that mine and it's scary down there. Poor Tahities, they were meant to run Crysis on ultra but instead ended up in some forsaken dark mine and won't ever see the daylight again.

There were some reports about dead nitro rx 480 cards, supposedly that sticky oily thing attracts dust and if there's enough of it in the wrong place it can somehow kill the card. Not sure whether those were true (saw the dead cards with lots of that oil, but not 100% sure what exactly was the cause of death), and whether it's as bad with any of the 1080 Ti cards. My Aorus 1080 is one leaky card though and I had to clean it a couple times already.

Hey guys (and girls).

I'm running Asus Strix 1080Ti with those clocks:
GPU 1800 (+117)
Memory 11560 (+550)
TDP 75%

I was mining ZEN and ZEC and now I'm experimenting with MONA.
Can you tell me what are the best (if not optimal) clocks for lyra2v2 ALGO? With the clocks above I get 126 MH/s.

Thank you

[ivakar]

Yes, I'm mining smartcash. Zotac gtx 1080ti emp exteme pushing about 1400 mh there
it is on PL85.
I heard some people squeeze up to 1500mhs, but that on pl100-110 - which kinda too much for me

One card - one settings, another card - another. Even if u have same cards they work different. Just try to put up and down clocks and get your own.
