[ANN] [1080 | 1080TI] ETHlargement - The Hashrate Hardener

[symmi]

And someone please give SMOS clocks for 1080ti. 

[BTC22]

I have 5 EVGA 1080's and 2 EVAG 1080 ti's. I keep core between 0-50 and memory +800. PL 55%. Im getting 295 M/H.

what type 1080ti u use? sc, sc2 or ftw?

[symmi]

My SMOS clocks right now. 160w; 190core; 1360memory. 6x Palit 1080ti.

Wasn't talked about a GDDR5 solution to be released on June?

[sergey1301]

Hello! At 1080 Ti, I got 55 Mh, and the power consumption is low! Is there a limit for 9xx series cards? On Vega with HBM2 is it?

[dafuzz_rsa]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I find this super strange.

I have an EVGA 1080FE. In windows i apply the pill and boom 36Mh/s LOVELY! Thanks !
Get to linux apply the pill and BOOM! crash! Use the revA command and then its ok again

So confused! Anyone have an explanation to this behavior?

[dreadwing007]

I keep my core at 0, have seen a degradation on the hash rate if I do any OC on the GPU. I do not run the app with any command lines like some of you are. It seems by default it hits all cards. Are you all seeing this as well?

I managed to get the pill to finally work on my EVGA 1080's...

A few things were causing the crashes:

1) preventing the card from going to P2 state
2) Applying overclocks while the pill was running
3) Trying to run the cards with PL under 70%

I am now able to set my clocks and power limits with nvidiainspector, run the pill and have Claymore happily hashing.

I'm getting approx 36 MH/s per 1080 at +0/+850/70%PL but hashrates sometimes fluctuate, indicating that I'm probably dealing with mem errors so I must be close to max mem clocks.

@heavyarms1912: is ETHminer clearly better than Claymore? Is it the reason you're getting over 41 MH/s on a similar setup?

INSTALLING THE PILL ON ETHOS--

I tried the Pill first on Win 7 x64 with my gaming/work computer.  My EVGA 1080ti FTW3 gets upwards of 47MH/s ETH with Claymore.  No problems, but the hashrate fluctuates.  I am dual-minning with Blake2s at about 1.4GH/s.

EVGA was selling 1080 FTW cards at about 1/2 the price of an EVGA 1080ti FTW3.  I bought 2 of them and dropped them into my ethOS rig   It was a lightweight rig, 2 1060 3GB SSC cards and 4 1050ti 4GB SSC cards.  The 1050ti SSC cards have no 6-pin connector, but do have dual fans.  They now sell for more than a 1050ti FTW card, as they are easier to power with a smaller power supply.  The rig now uses all 4 PCIe cables on the EVGA 850 P2 power supply, 2 per 1080 card.

I booted with a fresh image of ethOS v1.3.1 and allowed the cards to mine to the default donation address with Ethminer while I configured the rig for my own use.  The 1080 cards mined ETH at about 21MH/s each at stock clocks.  The 1050ti cards mined ETH at about 12.3MH/s each.  This is faster than a GTX 960 at about 10MH/s in my older rig.

First I updated the driver with "sudo install-nv-beta".  This brought my driver version to 390.25.

Then I installed the Pill with "sudo hotfix 1080hashup".  This is a hotfix script that works only with ethOS v1.3.1.  On reboot, my 1080 cards mined ETH at 31MH/s.  There are some problems, though, as visual artifacts (pixel splotches) appear on the desktop as the Pill starts.  These disappear, unless an overclock is being attempted.  The system would crash if ethos-smi was being used to overclock from the command line.  The ethos-smi script is a utility script specific to the ethOS environment.

After configuration, I was able to overclock +300 memory with the "globalmem" configuration file command.  This allows the rig to dual-mine (with Claymore) ETH + keccak at a hash rate comparable to stock clocks with Ethminer mining only ETH (single mining).   Keccak seems to draw down the hash rate for ETH much more so than blake2s.  The 1080 cards may be able to overclock memory to a greater extent than the 1050ti cards, but I was not able to clock the cards individually with the "local.conf" configuration file.  A memory overclock of "+300" was stable for all the cards in the system.  With the overclock, the cards dual-mined ETH just slightly faster than they would mine ETH while single mining with Ethminer and no overclock.

When dual mining, the system (2+4 cards) mines ETH at 112.5MH/s and keccak at 489MH/s.  The 1080 cards mine at 31.5MH/s ETH and 134MH/s keccak.  The 1050ti cards mine at 12.5MH/s ETH and 55MH/s keccak.    With no overclock and Ethminer, the system rate was 110MH/s ETH, with the 1080 cards hashing 31MH/s ETH and the 1050ti cards hashing at 12.3MH/s ETH.  Perhaps I could squeeze slightly more out of the system, but it runs stable and I am happy.  Currently,blake2s is paying less, so I am mining keccak.  I believe that the  ETH hashrate for the system may approach 115MH/s+ if dual mining with ETH + blake2s, it behaves better in dual mode.  When dual mining ETH + keccak with no overclock, the rig mines ETH at 105MH/s, and keccak about 425MH/s.   A low "-dcri" value is needed.

am I the only one using ethminer? its capable of 54Mh if your overclock is, what is the benefit of phoenix/claymore? don't they have dev fees? why pay that if you don't have to

I use ethminer.  Getting 41 MH/s on a 1080 +0/+850 @ 60% TDP.

Also 1080s here, but not quite to 41.  Stuck at 35.

Asus 1080ti turbo not hasing well with pill. How can I find a different bios that is compatible with this card for them to work with the pill?

I tried from strix and FE
it only got worse
just try P2, PL70, Core +200, Mem -350 for example

Were you using the EVGA overclock tool or another one? With the official overclock tool I had no issues out of the box with ETHlargment and Claymore. But I'm using a 1080ti, you said 1080 so I don't know if something is fundamentally different between the two cards.

What about using an FE 1080ti bios from other brands like gigabyte or evga? Would those bioses work?

I did not check them
with the settings above, I get 43.4mh

Question about the pill... in a mixed rig 1070/1080/1080ti... will the pill still work on the 1080/1080ti while the 1070's are also mining but without the pill benefit?

I did manage to find someone saying their rig crashed when running in a mixed card setup.  Anyone else seen crashes in mixed rigs?

sorry if it was somewhere previous in the thread... degraded search abilities

[Vann]

Te pill works great on my rig with a 1070, 1080 and a 1080 Ti and the latest Nvidia drivers. No reason why the pill would cause instability with mixed cards since it only affects 1080 and the 1080 Ti. If the miner is crashing it's probably from too much overclock.

i run the pill on a rig with 470s 460s, 1070/1070tis and 1080tis.

it just works on the 1080tis and ignores the rest. no stability problems at all (assuming your rig was stable to begin with).

GTX 1070 and GTX 1070Tİ.

when the software will come out for Ethash...
