 It won't outperform a GTX 1080 on Zcash - I'd guess more like 480-500 sol/s ballpark at optimal "full hash" settings.
 A hair fewer cores than the 1080, and the memory system isn't a big factor to Equihash algorithm.


im optimistic, i see it doing 550-600 sol/s


 Probability zero, 1080 cards don't manage that reliable if at all.

 FEWER CORES = LOWER HASHRATE on Equihash, it will hash SLOWER than a 1080 though probably not by a lot since it's only a FEW less cores.

 It also seems to be the same GPU, with one "compute unit" disabled, so it's very unlikely to overclock more than the 1080 to a measurable degree if at all.
 Rated TDP seems to be the same as the 1080 cards, which makes sense since the GPU is so close. I could see it turning out to be 170-175 watt range instead though for "reference" level cards.

 I probably should have put a "most" in my comment though - I'd forgotten about those crazy MSI models, which is kinda silly since I have one of their 1070 cards (with the SAME insanely-high 240 watt factory TDP).




 Equihash algo used for ZCash/ZEN/ZCL and suck is not nearly as memory limited as the algo used for ETH, or the 1080 would NOT outperform the 1070 by a fair bit and the 1080ti wouldn't blow both completely out of the water.


 I talk about ETH and ZEC and their clones because that's where the money is - in terms of "total GPUs mining" ETH has more GPUs working then everything else combined, with ZEC in a solid second at a little less than half that (perhaps a third if enough ZEC miners are using NVidia cards) then a LONG drop to whatever is third at the time.



My MSI Gamixg X 1080 easily gets 575-585 H/s at 75% power limit. I can get it over 600 H/s if I increase the power limit.



I think high end overclocked 1070 Ti's will get 32-33 MH/s on ETH and ~520 H/s on Equihash, depending on the model. Not worth it considering the 1080 is about the same price and AMD RX series cards are much more cost effective for ETH.

 75% power limit on that MSI at 180 watts is IDENTICAL to a lot of other GTX 1080 cards at 100% TDP - specifically including all of my Gigabytes 1080 cards (2 models) and my Zotac Mini 1080 models.
 OF COURSE you can get it to a lot higher hashrate than most 1080 models.
