Re: Are 1070 TI's the next best GPU for mining? 4.7 sols per watt
Micron garbage memory and the temp is fine, never gets above 55C. I tried lowering OC settings and it still errors out of EWBF. Its basically a worse 1070. My 3x 1070s are pushing +200/+600 no issues @ 70 TDP (and they have Micron mem as well). This 1070 Ti cant hold +50/+200 at 80 TDP for more than a hour maybe two. Hashrate is equal to or a little less than the 1070s. Disappointing.
Even tried putting all my 1070s on the risers and the 1070 Ti directly on the MB but still same issue.
Did you try overclocking them separately? It's always +xx/+xx @ xx TDP in your posts, so it's hard to be sure what's what. Set the powerlimit to 100, don't touch the core clock and simply increase the memclock to check the actual memory OC limit. Cause +200 max doesn't sound plausible, it should be able to OC more.Even tried putting all my 1070s on the risers and the 1070 Ti directly on the MB but still same issue.
All 3 of my MSI 1070 run stable at +200 core +600 Mem at 70 TDP
The EVGA 1070 Ti is my only issue. I will try tonight to leave TDP at 100 and then slowly up the memory to see when it fails. My concern is the same, it should be able to handle +200 memory with no issue.
Depends in part on where it sets the STOCK clock of the memory - part of the reason my EVGA 1070 ti SC cards overclock memory so well is that the BASE MEMORY CLOCK is underclocked when they are running a mining program.
Card models VARY, and even individual CARDS of the SAME model can vary - memory brand seems to make a big difference, and EVGA (like ALL card makers) tends to use whatever memory it can get ahold of to make a batch of cards, even if it's not the SAME brand as what went into a previous batch of the same card model.
MSI Armor Gaming 1070 card is a VERY GOOD example of the "variation in TDP between models" issue - 240 watt TDP by factory default, where MOST 1070 models are 151 or 180 watts.
For the record, I've NEVER had a 1070 model that could do "+600" in afterburner settings AT ALL, most were unstable at +550 and at least a couple unstable at +500 - even on models other folks reported being able to STABLE overclock more.
Like I said, cards VARY.
+1 There is variation within the same card, same manufacturer and same model.
I think Micron memory is very capable and overclocks like a champ.
I have and do run some (not all) 1070s at +675 memory at 85TDP and 100 TDP (24-48 hours stable) so it really depends on the cards "personality" some are athletes others are divas.
