GDDR5X GPUs still have issues with compatibility. A 1080 for instance will sometimes get the full 30% speed increase over a 1070, but often times it wont. About half the algos worth mining right now have problems with GDDR5X. You'll get anywhere from 10%-30% (usually around 15%). A 1080ti is no different. It's a shitshow, skein doesn't have problems.

why "half the algo", i only have bad result on ETH and feathercoin, all other algo i'm doing 60-70% more versus a 1070, with my 1080ti and 80-90% on skein/jha

You should be getting +30% compared to a 1070 with a 1080 and +85% compared to a 1070 with a 1080ti according to cuda counts and pricing. If you're getting 60-70% more then a 1070 with a 1080 you have something misconfigured with your 1070 as it's underperforming. A 1080 and 1080ti will underperform compared to a 1070, but not the opposite direction unless you have something setup wrong. GDDR5 is quite mature, algos have problems with GDDR5X.

As far as what algos are having problems, you've quoted someone of them. I'm not going to tell you about them though.

i said 70% more than a 1070 with a 1080ti not a 1080, 90% only on jha and skein, i'm not aware of any algo as bad as ETH and feathercoin, for a 1080ti, which i don't care anyway they are far from being the best algo to mine

i've managed to install 9 cards into one mb (asus strix z270f, windows 10 1703) but unfortunately none of ccminer forks support such a config
it just freezes the system when i run ccminer (tried tpruvot's 2.0, alexis's etc)
if i remove any card to get 8, ccminer works as usual

They aren't 'as bad', Dagger is crippled. There are a couple others, but you're still going to be getting a speed boost, but instead of +85%, you're getting 40-50%.

Timetravel (8 or 10) is just like x11, almost no ram usage.
If it looks slower on gddr5x, is just because of too low intensity.

There is mem usage but you have linear memory reads so the cache will work at optimal conditions.
gddr5x is slower on algos that use random memory access in big buffers.  (ethereum, monero etc..)

i've managed to install 9 cards into one mb (asus strix z270f, windows 10 1703) but unfortunately none of ccminer forks support such a config
it just freezes the system when i run ccminer (tried tpruvot's 2.0, alexis's etc)
if i remove any card to get 8, ccminer works as usual

ccminer limit is 16, so should be another issue, try two instances to check

no, it will not work.
There is no miner on windows to work with > 8 cards.
Linux only

Timetravel (8 or 10) is just like x11, almost no ram usage.
If it looks slower on gddr5x, is just because of too low intensity.

Even with higher intensity (which I've already tried) it doesn't run at full speed. Protip, 1070 is also running at too low of intensity, so it doesn't change anything.

There is two other ones, everyone has already mined them. I'd rather not deplete my earnings by talking about them here though. They are there and it definitely makes a GDDR5X cars much less lucrative.

tried alexis miner on skein and it's perferom really better on my 1070 rig, but usually start only 4gpu's out of 6.
tried add --cuda-schedule 0, but it freeze my system for some time.

Yes it does. The 1070 and 1080 have the same ram size (the 1080ti has a little more, but not enough to increase intensity sensibly), but the 1080 has more cuda cores and slower ram, hence why it needs higher intensity. That doesn't necessarily mean you can take advantage of it, but I know it's true because I tried it myself.

I don't think you're disagreeing with anything I said. I agreed, increasing intensity increase hash for the 1080... However I also said the default intensity for 1070 is too low and increasing it increases the hashrate for the 1070 as well, to the point at which the difference between the cards isn't any different then if the intensity wasn't adjusted at all (as both cards under perform at the default intensity). That means instead of getting +30% between a 1070 and 1080 you're getting +15%~, which goes back to GDDR5X cards under performing in certain algos, this just happens to be one.

Greetings,
I just stumbled upon this post by djezo on Excavator thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777827.msg19424788#msg19424788
He claims that WDDM 2.1 included in Anniversary update is needed for optimal performance.
I searched for discussions re: WDDM 2.1 and it seems that it affects ccminer also.
But the funny thing is this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777827.msg19471054#msg19471054

Basically, the question is: should I ditch LTSB and install most recent Windows 10 version?
Thanks.

A highend rig that does 3.4GHASH has the same diff as a 1.5GHASH rig. You should increase the difficulty to reduce the load on the server.

high end rig, you've made my day)))))))))
High end rig is doing >8ghs ))

1080tis?

An average rig on yiimp is doing 1,5GHASH. So 3.4 is more than 2x the average rig. (3,4GHASH is based on 6x1070 @560MHASH each)

Are you using a private miner? Do you have any capture of your console?

What I have been able to get stable to my 1070 FTW are 490 sol / s with EWBF's

[Vaccinus]

what will be the hashrate when equihash will be added to ccminer 2.0? is on par with EWBF, someone know or tested it already? i see there is a branch for equihash and it's soon to be added to ccminer 2.0

[DerMaulwurf]

2 short questions:

1. Is my config line ok? (run on a gtx1070, later maybe 2)
ccminer-x64 -a lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u account.worker -p password d=16 -I 22 -g 4 -w 256
pause

2. How to name the file and where to save?
run.bat? run.cmd? anything else?!

Has anyone been able to overclock a GTX 1060 under linux? My 1060 are staying in P2 all the time, and I cannot set the clocks (nvidia-smi says it's not supported).
Also, I'm not able to query the available clocks. My other Nvidia cards work without problems. So, is there anyone who was able to overclock a 1060 under linux (server)?

The problem is nvidia-settings needs GUI and the only way to overclock Pascal is via nvidia-settings.
Nvidia-smi works only for setting power limits on Pascal.
P2 is no issue.
