Hey Neurolicious, can you share your oc setting for your 57mhs result?
Thanks

[dbalz]

57mh/s on 1080TI
showing up on pool aswell. cheers!

what settings are you using to get 57?

I have several different 1080TI's and the only ones I manage to get 57mh/s on are Gigabyte Gaming OC ones.
EVGA FTW3 = 54-55 mh/s
ROG Strix OC = 54-55 mh/s
Gigabyte founders edition = 52-54 mh/s (fluctuates alot)

Settings:

Core = +117
Memory = +1000(+500 on Afterburner)
TDP(PL) = 65%

Miner software is Phoenix. All the basic parameters except intensity I set to 14 "-mi 14"

awesome for you that get it to work...my 1080 was around 32-36 mh/s but severe artifacts on screen makes me unhappy and it doesnt feel good. They will be put to other algos as of now

[vxtecz]

Thanks Neurolicious, btw what's your temperature on all your cards when running at the mhs?

I picked up a 1080ti (zotac amp extreme monstrosity) out of curiosity, just to test this.  I get up close to 55 mhs if I let the PL go up to 75%.  Most efficient setting is 50% PL, 42 mhs for 150W.  That's about as efficient as your average modded polaris.  Pretty solid given the versatility of this gpu for other algos.

With some more tinkering/tweaking, I'm getting about 50 mhs at 175W (hwinfo reading).

mclock +650
cclock -225
pl 55%

Did some additional tuning this morning.  Getting 51.1 mhs at 175W (hwinfo reading).

mclock +670
cclock -175
pl 55%

About 0.29 Mh/J.

I can get a higher hashrate, up to about 54.5, by feeding a little more power, but the hash/joule ratio isn't as good.

After these successful results I bought another 1080ti (gigabyte AIO water-cooled) and jammed it in my gaming computer case (along with the aforementioned zotac amp extreme).  I'm pretty pleased.  Both cards perform similarly.  If I let them run at about 190W each, I get about 107.5 MH/s total.  Dialing it back a little to 175W each gets me about 102.5 MH/s total.

Pretty happy with these results.  Thanks ohgodas.

I wonder what would happen if I stuck an Acorn in here.

I have some cards that start around 45mh but will drop to the mid/high 30's once I apply any sort of memory oc.  Has anyone experienced this?  I have other rigs that work just fine and will run the overclocks just fine w/ a result of up to 55mh.

I'm using 65%/+100/+750

Is it faster than Claymore miner?

I know everyone seems to love Claymore and Phoenix, but I prefer to use ethminer from https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases and I don't get any fee. Also I don't get some annoying addon to the miner to switch to another pool for the dev's fee.

I'm using 1070s and getting around 32.4mh/s if I can get the memory above +700 (core at -200) and 1080s with the awesome pill doing around 34mh/s with +400 or +500 memory (one card doesn't like overclocking as much as the other).

Do all you people using Claymore or Phoenixminer do better a lot than that?

Is it faster than Claymore miner?

With the EVGA FTW3 edition of the 1080ti, I get very high tempratures on the "PWR 4" sensor. PWR stands for Power by the way...
I have this problem with a few algos like Equihash and Ethash and I know it's not a problem with the ETHlargement, I was just hopping that someone might have found a solution to this? For example maybe if I add a thermal pad this would be fixed?

I'm talking about 78C on normal fan speeds and 71C on 100% speed. This is the temp of just one component while the rest (GPU and Memory) are close to 60C, some parts even lower.
I've read that others have the same problem but none have found a solution and I don't want to RMA it, it overclocks well and runs great so I won't risk an RMA.

[RivAngE]

Any way that enables us to use 1080 ti ETHlargement on NICEHASH

Have you read the instructions? You just start the software (ETHlargement) and you let it run. Whatever miner you're using will have higher hashrate if it's memory dependant.
Think of ETHlargement as a temporary GPU BIOS modification... as long as the software runs, it changes the way some data is communicated between the card's components.

Yeah in my experience it is slightly faster than Claymore in single-mode but nothing spectacular. In any way it is better imo because of lower dev fee.

That temp is completely normal, don't worry about it. As I remember they are supposedly rated to 105°C.

[Neurolicious]

Thanks Neurolicious, btw what's your temperature on all your cards when running at the mhs?

Fan speed 65% on all of them.
Founders edition is 60-65°C
All others are 50-52°C
It is a hot summer here so during winters they are even better I'd say mid 40's.

You don't know how much I pain for my PC! My RIG is like my child! Carefully un-dusted every week, with every fan curve modified for minimum temps and but also minimum pain to the fans, with neatly arranged LEDs.
Just seeing 70C burns my heart!!

Lol, the way I treat my rigs would get child protective services called on me. Neglected, starved for voltage, half drowned, the other half locked in a hot garage slaving away 24/7.

I do at least try and keep the dust to a minimum. Hard when the garage has to be cracked to let heat out. The animals of the house let the fans accumulate a lot of fur. But at the new house they will all be in a purpose built area with nice clean voltage and fresh filtered air.

hello, i have msi seahawk gtx1080, pill works and getting 30mhs after i run the file and claymore. however any slight overclock (+50mhz) in afterburner makes mining crash. any advise please_ without it im able to overclock to +500 withut any issue. i understand it makes timings more agresive, however +50 crashes pc? 

Having the same issue here, although I am told that anyone using the ETHlargement pill needs to tune their overclocks down quite a bit to have it remain stable, due to the timings changes.  I was able to get mine stable in this order -> start miner, overclock, pill.  Nowhere near the overclock numbers I had prior to the pill though.

Hello, so I have been messing around with this tool on my Asus gtx 1080ti turbo. And I've come across some very interesting findings. First of all I thought that this pill did not work but after hours of getting worse hashrates than I did being for using the tool I lowered my power from 70% to 60% and my hashrates started going up! I found this weird, but not as weird as what I did next... I started lowering the memory! I found the sweet spot! Unfortunately after hours of tweaking the best hashrates I could muster is 44mh. But that is still a huge upgrade over my previous 36! My final and vest settings for my card are as follows.
60% power
+97 mhz clock
-303 mhz memory

Does anyone know why it would possibly run best with negative memory?

[Blazin]

I gotta say, this is a nice surprise after not logging in for a while!

My Gigabyte 1080Ti Turbo is reaching 49.5 MH. It has always been a sluggish card compared to other 1080 Ti cards, so I wasn't even expecting that much of a boost.

Since this tool seems to tighten timings, it sounds like your GPU's memory just can't handle tight timings at the same clock speeds.

Timings control how many clock cycles go by before the memory will do any more work. The tighter timings are making your memory work during times it would otherwise be (sort of) dormant. Think of it as overclocking without touching the clock speeds.
