Is GDDR5 specs good for mining? How much power GTX 1080 consumes?
1080 has GDDR5X yes, but is it good for long term point of view and efficiency? No offence mate but it looks like you were answered your questions above but you keep asking them over again. And I agree with ivakar here, 1080ti rules, then 1070 comes next after it. hey newbie can you tell which coins are best to mine on GTX 1080 and its power consumption on those coins? Whattomine will help you out. Equihash, NIST5, Skunk, Tribus algos are good to look at. No idea of power consumption of 1080, I run TI's.

Forgive me for interrupting but could you guys advise on what particupar 1070s and 1080TIs to look at? I know Zotac Amp Extreme are amongst the best, but what are other options in terms of clock?

MSI 11 GB NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti ROI per nicehash : 9 months
MSI 8 GB GTX 1080 ROI per nicehash : 6 months
1st I choose this MSI GTX 1080 TI GAMING X Video Graphic Cards but this is expensive the price is $824.99 but this is worth it for work in mining and others, the specs are Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Video Memory: 11GB GDDR5X, Memory Interface: 352-bit, Max. Resolution: Support 4x Display Monitors, Input: 2x 8pin PCI-E Power Connectors.
secondly I choose MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X SL VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G) also expensive but still worth it for use but the first below than this is lowest price $579.89 and the specs of this are , Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, Video Memory: 8GB GDDR5X, Max. Resolution: 7680 x 4320, support 4x Display monitors ,Input: 1x 6Pin PCI-E power connector, 1x 8Pin PCI-E power connector, output: DVI-D Dual Link, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort's, 500W system power supply requirement; 180W power consumption those two are expensive but still worth it for the others purpose of the mining

Take a look here, there's a list at the bottom of the page. You can sort it by whatever parameter you want. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b4356/zotac-gtx-1080-ti-amp-extreme

Thanks all of you, but i still have this question in mind.
Do you guys look at ROI period while ranking 1080Ti at top? as per my cost calculation its 8 months at earliest for a 1080Ti to breakeven and keeping in view of volatility of market it could go up to 12 months on other hand 1080 is 5 months ROI period and AMDs are 4 months payback.
Whats your reason for still voting for 1080ti when you know its ROI period is so long?

In some algos like nist5, skein, equihash, aftermarket 1080ti perform like a beast. the core count is huge, so even if more algo comes out in future, it will be beast for few years. 3584 cores running at 2.0 GHz and 11 GB GDDR5x with 352-bit memory bus.

ROI floats alot and I don't consider it anymore, if you want quick ROI buy 1050ti/1060 and you get your money back in 4-6 months (as of today). Anything less than 2 years I'm fine with, actually - not only I run best cards in terms of productivity they are also very easy to sell ones even after 3-4 years, provided you look after them and run them right. Besides, having 1 12x1080ti rig beats the hell out of having 3-4 rigs of low tier cards space and power wise.

What do you mine with 12x1080ti and whats the power consumption and profits for this rig? 2. Can you share the other accessories used in your mining rig as it could help me in building one thanks.

Currently I'm on ZEN getting ready for their masternodes, but usually it almost every new coin I like to mine and stash, you never know if it shoots high. Yes I'm a shitcoin collector in a sense Hardware wise you'll need either Asrock 110 Pro BTC (up to 13 cards), or Biostar TB250 Pro BTC motherboard, there's also a new Asus one but I don't have details of it yet. Biostar was reported to have some issues with reliability. i3 for CPU, 8-16gb RAM, 128GB SSD/HDD, 2x1600 or 3x850W platinum/titanium rated power supplies, Simple Mining or ETHOS operating system (Unix based, you can't run all of them under windows). And to comment on your last post, I'd say again, don't choose 1080, but I guess you already have made a decision, besides $250 is really cheap for them. Good luck anyway.

Whats the coin requirement for ZEN masternode? I value your opinion but i have limited budget, will see what i can buy. If funds was not a problem i would go for 1080ti

On what exchange they trade ZEN? Whats the daily MN earning forecast?

I would go Nvidia all they way as well. They are better manufactured and last longer. All being said the whole scene will change once AMD and Nvidia bring out their mining only GPU's

I think I'll leave that to you to research. Did some research and found that 3.5% of the mining reward to the owners of ZenCash Secure nodes, as you are running a node can you share whats the daily reward you get for a single secure node? Thanks.
