1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

[sky999]

I Don't see any MSI card on your list guys, Gaming X or Trio Edition?

MSI Armor is very silent. I think this can make big difference for thouse who have a rig at home...

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'd say that if you have such offer  - take it, why? cause you should be able to ROI about 30-40% of your investment within 2 month, and if there would be some delay from nvidia even more then 30-40%.. and as far as I heard there won't be real;y huge gap between todays cards and next gen..

Very silent and very crap. The MSI Armor are not recommended as mining cards, these flimsy coolers are just not good enough. It's pretty much common knowledge around here.

Also, if it doesn't have LED, it's not good enough! I have my PC on the wall in my room (the case if called Thermaltake Core), so the esthetics are also important for me.
Oh and also I've tried EVGA's support and it's awesome. Same day replies, overclocking doesn't void warranty and they give you the option to ship a new card before you return the faulty.

Not at all, here is the order in Power, Speed and Cooling capabilities:

1. Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition
2. ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080TI-O11G-GAMING GeForce 11GB OC Edition
3. ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme
4. EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING, 11G-P4-6696-KR, 11GB GDDR5X, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors & RGB LED G/P/M

I have three Aorus Xtreme and they are shit compared to Palit Gamerock. Palits clock and run stable at 1950mhz, when Aorus just 1890mhz. And they run hotter as well.

I have first 3 of list and others (included MSI) and I'd add Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 Ti X4 Ultra as well - very fast in mining.

I can agree about Gigabyte and ZOTAC, but why there are now Palit SGS or GameRock Premium? They are really good.

I have Palit SGS as well. It is far after 4 winners and MSI Gaming X.

For mining it doesn`t matter. As i see at different boards - the most problem is to shut LED down. For gaming PC only i think.

The price increased 30% in Canada.

Well, are you sure, mate? cause now price seems settled down already and even trended  to going down ..
So why prices in Canada jumped to huge 30%? What is the cause?

I don`t know why do you think so. At my tests 1 - Aorus, 2 - ZOTAC, 3 - GameRock Premium, 4 - SGS.
MSI and Inno not so good as for me. MSI quiet but not so quick, EVGA(not this model) have problem with cooling. Asus 1080ti hadn`t even test.

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

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

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

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.

Well, I could sell you four Gigabyte 1080 Ti Turbo whatnot for 800€ each....

[Riptide_NVN]

It would be nice to pick a model and just order however many you want at msrp.  The whole x card is better than y card is somewhat meaningless in the current situation.  Many of us who recently got into this had to buy whatever we could find at the lowest price we could get.

My 6 gpu rig is a mutt.
(2) msi duke
(1) evga sc black
(1) msi gaming 11g
(1) msi gaming x 11g
(1) aorus extreme

The aorus and the msi gaming cards are the best of the lot.

I wish I had been able to "standardize" on one model.  It would make tweaking/tuning so much easier.  With different models it is a hassle.

[fr4nkthetank]

Yeah its hell to setup different gpus.  In canada I feel prices has stabilized.  We see more In-stock GPUs, they stay in stock much longer, and the prices have stopped going up.  This means people arent really buying anything at 1200$cad+ for a 1080ti.  We see brand new cards at 1100$, even a little less.  Still higher than 900$, but getting better.

Guys, I know some of you are mining really profitable coins and I don't want you to tell your secrets, but for the average miners like me, what are you mining?

It's so difficulty to find a good coin to mine on my 1080Tis

I decide to diversify, I put some of then to mine:

BTCZ
X17 on Zpool
Some of them to AutoSwitch on Zpool

It's so hard nowadays, there is no "secret coins" to mine like in the past

BWK and LUX is very bad at the moment, cryptopia wallets does not work anymore

Also have Aorus GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition, they are unstoppable, I'm very proud of them.
They are quiet, look good and have nice hashrates.

So why prices in Canada jumped to huge 30%? What is the cause?

Maybe because Canadian deserved high price.
That's what we told ourselves.

But 1070Ti is OK

As for me, i decided that buying 1070ti was a bad decision. today i`d preferred 1080. on most of algos i use - memory doesn`t have the meaning.

Mining profit going down guys !!!
Any new suggestion for 1080ti

Depends on what your looking for but I think the 1070ti or 1080ti are a better option than a 1080.  The 1070ti produces more hash power on the memory intensive algos (Ethash, Xevan) work more efficiently across the board and cost less than a 1080.  The 1080's real benefit is that its better on Equihash.  However, a 1080ti is DRAMATICALLY better than a 1080 on Equihash so I think the real options are 1070ti or 1080ti.
