From the error at "dev::eth::CUDAMiner::compileKernel" it looks like you're using the main ethminer progpow implementation from IfDefElse (OhGodACompany).

That implementation programatically determines the CUDA compute capability of the device to pass to the runtime compiler ("nvrtc") as the value for the "--gpu-architecture" option when it builds the kernel on-the-fly.

The new RTX cards are compute capability 7.5 which needs the CUDA 10 SDK. I am guessing you have an older version of the CUDA SDK which is why it can't compile to compute capability 7.5.

Try updating to the CUDA 10 SDK: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

with tradetec miner, it works : around 25Mh/s with the first version of the miner, the last one hashes lower.

Thanks!

The results are not glad. Seems GDDR6 memory is not good enough. Titan V with HBM2 memory gives 80-85 Mh/s on Ethash algo at 140-150W power consumption. But maybe GPU drivers for RTX cards are not optimized yet...

need driver and miner software update for RTX

right now only X16R very good hashrate than 1080ti

[coinzzzpro]

Have you tried the pill?
It is interesting that Equihash shows a bad result in comparison with the 1080 ti.


ps
With such income, what return will the purchase of this card...

[adaseb]

Yes the results aren't earth shattering but its because it needs to be optimised.

When the RX 470 came out the results were horrible, it hashed at like 20MH/s until someone decided to modify the straps and run it at a higher memory clock and achieved almost 30MH/s.

It was also the same with the 1080Ti when it was initially released.

However, in less than 1 month the ETH issuance gets reduced down to 2ETH, so who knows how many of these GPUs will get bought for mining. Might not be worth optimising if nobody will actually use them.

Ethereum - Ethash
Gigabyte RTX 2080   41.1 Mh/s ; 105w   0.391 mh/s per watt

Can you tell us , what was GPU FB usage % at this moment ? if it's around 70% it will give a chance that some "pill" (similar to gddr5x) will be created in the future , but if it's already 100% ... well , this will mean that gddr6 sucks in eth mining   At least without timings editing, but Nvidia will never allow it , so the only hope is to wait for AMD card with gddr6 onboard.

I just checked now and it is around 88% - 89%

[Amph]

equihash seems a bit underwhelming, can you tweak it maybe?

[crairezx20]

Could you try Zhash algo with BTG and set the TDP 75% then 50 for cclock and 500 for mclock.

And let me ask, did you try to use the enlargement pill on RTX 2080?

[vlad230]

Monero - CryptoNight V7

GPU Model	Hashrate & Power Draw	Mh/s per 1watt
Gigabyte RTX 2080	893 Sol/s ; 120w	7.441 H/s per watt
Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti	895 Sol/s ; 140w	6.392 H/s per watt
MSI GTX 1080 Ti	890 Sol/s ; 135w	6.592 Sol/s per watt

I think you have a typo here. CryptoNight coins are measured by hashes per second (h/s) not Sol/s.

If that number is correct and it refers to h/s, I would have expected it to be a bit higher for CryptoNight. The vegas are still way stronger than this GPU. The Vegas are getting about 1.8 - 2 kH/s and are currently almost 1 year old.

sorry been busy did not check this

try  75%
80 core
200 memory

try 80% power
try 80  core
300  memory


145watts and  22.66 speed  for this is good

a 1080ti  does 20-21 tops at 200 watts

so for bci mining it is clearly a better card then a 1080ti

I get this soon
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-2182-KR

cost was 785

I own this


https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Hybrid-Gaming-Technology/dp/B0713XX64Y/ref=sr_1_sc_1?

cost was 800

at your settings it is saving 55 watts  and doing 1mh better



All below is BCI mining

Edit my evga 2080 came today 1 day early

 on msi 4.6 beta

set it to 83% power
set it to +99 core
set it to +300 ram
set it to 61% fan speed

getting 23.88 mh

my best 1080 ti gets 21 mh set to 83% which is about 205 watts


quick numbers are

2080 evga 80% tdp or 172 watts does 23.30mh
1080ti evga 80% tdp or 200 watts does 20.80 mh

so 172/200 = 86% of the power
23.3/20.8  = 1.12 % of the hash

new 2080 = close to 800
new 1080ti = close to 700

so 130% better with power and hash combined
at 115% the price.

so if you want to mine bci a new 2080 is a little better then a new 1080ti  if you find a new 2080 at 800

[hell_slayer]

I just checked now and it is around 88% - 89%

Thanks . This means that we can expect a slight increase of Ethash algo mining in the future , when some optimizations in miners/drivers will be made . But in any case gddr6 is not the best option for ethash algorithm
