Hey all, I got a small mining setup (since mid Jan.) with 2 GPUs running DSTM. The MSI card (90% pwr) runs fine with no problem. Recently I begin to notice that the EVGA card is getting less and less stable unless I dial down the OC setting. Initially, I was running stable (24 hours+ up time) +120 core and +300 mem at 90% power and getting ~750 Sols/s but in the past week DSTM starts to crash and I would have to gradually reduce the OC setting for the EVGA card for it to run stable. I go back and forth on it in the past week battling with this card and now I can only reach stable mining at 90% with no OC at all (670 Sol/s). DSTM would crash immediately if I try to use the stock card setting.
Currently, the stable clock is ~1740 / 5000 mem (no OC at 90%)
Things I tried: -DDU and install fresh driver. -Fresh windows install. -Swap risers (bought a 6-pack) and switch between the PCIEX slots. -Using only the EVGA card (on riser or directly on MOBO). -Tried nicehash, EWBF, and bminer. None of these helped.
Any suggestions on what could be the problem? Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!
~~~~~~~~~
OS: Windows 10 GPU: 1x EVGA 1080ti SC black. 1x MSI 1080ti gaming
PSU: EVGA 750 G3
Open air, using mobo graphic for display. Using MSI Afterburner. Both card temperature kept at mid 50s. Powering the risers using 6-pin directly connected to PSU.
You tried all I could think of: To change PCI-e slots, and use it without risers Swap Risers Standalone Card without any other cards on the rig Have you tried to change PCI-e cable that goes from PSU to card? Also try to change position of PCI-e cable on the PSU to different slot? |

So with 8 x 1080ti and some change (multicore cpus, some 1050tis etc) I make barely 0.5 Zcoin per day ($26). hmmm, some new coins with lyra2z algo can take you slightly higher profit... |

I don´t know your mobo and cpu, but if it has an intel GPU onboard, try to disable the driver over device manager (just make sure you connect your video output from a discrete card to the screen) or better disable the integrated grafics inside the bios. Hope it helps, I gain lot of fps (+15 to 30) while playing on an A17R4 ( 6700qh + 1070 gtx) if I do the device manager trick! (Caution: never tryed to go back to intel graphics - FN + F7 - while driver was disabled, but in that case I think you will just need to boot with F8 on VGA mode and reenable or uninstal the disabled intel graphics or DDU remove it) |

Guys?
I know this is not quite about Ti but it felt that this topic was the right place for this question:
I currently got 1080 which does 550 sols 118wats and that is a nice ratio...
I have a cool offer to get another 1080 for 600e brand new with waranty, or just wait for 2-3 months for the new NVidia GPUs (they will cost approx 600e).
In those 3 months at this state with this hash ratio I would do around 220e which is 1/3 ROI of that card.
What would you do?
Thanks!

I would consider a Ti for about 33% more, knowing it will retain better resale value when the new GPU comes out.

So you find a hashrate difference depending on the cuda SDK you use to compile? yes, for some cards and some algos. My compile gives 1-1.5 mhs boost for gtx1080ti in my tests but very tiny increase for gtx1070 (comparing to well-known cuda75 64-bit alexis built) Do you know a tutorial explaining how to compile on Windows from alexis source code? |

I don't think Ti is worth it, its 1000e (30% price for 20-25% hashrate). 1080 for 600e is best buy  |

I think, it will cost really much, and i don`t sure that miners will be able to get maximum hash from new cards. It`s still a problem with 1070ti and 1080ti that we haven`t alexis miner optimized for them. |

2 more days and I'll have one of the best (if not the best) 1080Ti ! The EVGA FTW3 which cost me 950€.
For now I'll stick it into my secondary slot and use this beast solely for mining. After VIVE PRO is released I'll use the 1080Ti 20% for VR gaming and 80% for mining.
As for the new cards, I wouldn't expect them anytime before December. Right now Nvidia has no competition in the gaming sector and they don't seem to mind that much for the 1st place in mining. So why would they release a new card if AMD does not? Just to compete with themselves? I believe their best option would be to lay low until sales slow down.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme is defenetly better and faster. i own one of that. its surely a beast compared to rest all of the 1080ti aftermarket solutions. easy stable at 2050-2088mhz core. |

Exactly. My MSi cards beat everything else in my park (Evga, Zotac, FE, Asus, Gigabyte) 2 more days and I'll have one of the best (if not the best) 1080Ti ! The EVGA FTW3 which cost me 950€.
