1080 or 1070ti?

[manji]

More fps buy gtx 1080.Wait to nvidia 2 series.

Enlightened me please, I thought that memory has great impact (in most cases) on mining efficiency. So tell me, in which way is fps related to mining. As far as I know fps stands for "frame per second" , so why do we need to look on fps when we talk about mining?

In general not the same but it's related since more gpu cores/higher bandwidth gives more fps it does also give higher hashing speeds.

fps could have an impact on mining or just a Game ?, I do not think before, those the GPU has a different fps between 1080 and 1070'ti.

For me it is just very confusing to measure efficiency of mining based on fps that GPU can provide. I understand that if card is stronger we would get more fps, but for me its really not necessary to measure it in fps. I guess its same for other people, and that is why we look on GPU's specifications and not on fps that GPU can provide.

@ypsi, knew that, but still thanks for answering.

I'd say grab 1070ti, the better choice, imo. i have two of them in my home pc. the performance difference is about 5-7% ( 1080 is faster) and the price difference about 10% (1070ti is cheaper)

[akirafes]

1080 is king of miners I guess.

[hummer113]

I would give my vote for 1080, in my subjective opinion, they are less glitchy, although in depending from the manufacturer.

MSI Aero blower-model cards have VERY VERY BAD cooling - worse than the Founder's Edition.
I refuse to consider buying any more of those.

MSI cards IN GENERAL in my experience tend to have poor cooling compared to cards by other manufacturers in the "same class".
Their only saving grace is that they DO appear to use ball bearing fans in most or all models.


If you run them both at their most EFFICIENT TDP settings (106 watts give or take a couple), the 1080 has the same to a hair WORSE hashrate on ZEC, depending on specific models and ability to OC.
The 1080 starts pulling ahead around the 120 watt level or so, but it never manages 10% better hashrate at the SAME TDP as a "same model" 1070 ti.

fps is completely unrelated to mining, as it's a Game terminology and the work behind it is largely Floating Point where mining work is 100% Integer + data transfers.

Get a 1070 ti. Its much more efficient.

But if you can get a 1080 ti for decent price that would be better.

It would depend on your power situation, and how much you could get the card for.

[matricea]

I have both models, more brands and imho 1070ti is far better on mining than 1080.
Also, seems that cooling is much better on TI series.
Also, if electricity is a problem, try to find 1070ti with just 1x8pin.
It will consume less watt but also less hashrate(e.g 520 sol/s compared with 550 sol/s with 1x8pin+1x6pin)

1070ti is more versatile miner compared to 1080. 1080is good at equihash type of algo but not dagger hashimoto which relies on memory.

[crairezx20]

1070TI is always better then a 1080. But a 1080TI is better then a 1070TI. You need to calculate by Sols/watt. And the 1080 draws to much power and has alot of heat output. The 1070ti is overall better at everything compared to the 1080.

No, it depends on what brand. For me, the 1080ti super jetstream and 1070 ti super jetstream are the same cool cards unlike 1070 dual that gives me low hashrate and it's too hot even you set the fan to 100% I tested them and never buy them again because in the daytime the hashrate is dropping almost 20%

1070 ti super jetstream or any brand that gives lower temp is better and you can get lower power consumption than 1080ti

Not a good choice if you choose 1080 it's expensive and not efficient. 1070ti will be the best choice.

[Iannn]

I would go 1070ti for sure.  They are just all around great cards. 

[Max Likelihood]

1070ti is more versatile miner compared to 1080. 1080is good at equihash type of algo but not dagger hashimoto which relies on memory.

This is a critical point--the GDDR5X is not as effective with Dagger--so if OP isn't going to mind ethash coins, no issue, but if he wants that option 1070 ti as others have pointed out.

[yura04071989]

I can get either for MSRP. I had a 1080 crap out on me so I need to replace one.

Do not lose time, since March 16, 4 days have passed - you could already earn 6$ from 1 card)
The final difference between your choice will still be minimal, look for the cheapest and begin to mine!

[Wotan Wipeout]

Less $ for electricity --> 1080ti
more $ .... --> 1070ti

i personally prefer 1080ti

[2alt]

You have that reversed. The 1080ti is more electric, but more hash.

As for hashes per watts, the 1070ti is the most efficient.
