I guess you bought good premium hardware and rentability of it will about 8-13 month

Thanks.

It's best to upgrade my rig with 1070 TI or 1080 Ti in the next 2-4 weeks or maybe go with more 1060?

Rig density on the 1060 is WAY too low for me to bother with them on anything except PERHAPS ETH - if I was doing any ETH mining at all.

1070 ti is the current efficiency champ for ZEC/offshoots that is affordable - technically the Titan V is more efficient but at $3000 a card it is a TOTAL FAIL on hash/$.

The Titan V does indicate that the new Volta upgrade cards will probably be 20-30% better efficiency over any current Pascal card - but gotta wonder if NVidia is going to bump the price on the new cards given that they'll be noticeably better than anything AMD.

The Zotac Mini 1080 ti SHOULD be efficient if you run it at a low enough power level - try it in the 150-180 watt range where it's cooling system should be able to keep up.
I wouldn't buy one due to the apparent lack of ball bearing fans (their AMP Extreme line brags about it's ball bearing fans, but their other cards are suspiciously silent on the subject) but if you already have it might as well use it effectively.

BMiner on pretty much ALL of my rigs will not even load - since it's a Windows-specific program and I'm a major fan of the RELIABILITY of LINUX in a mining environment (and the very few Windows rigs I still have are getting moved OUT of Windows due to the low stability of the junk).
I've also not been real impressed with it's posted hashrates - barely better than EBWF but you lose most of all of the improvement to the FIXED fee.
Same issue as with DTSM except that some of my testing has shown DTSM giving SAME OR LOWER hashrate as EBWF on the same card at the same power setting.

EWBF miner is quite happy to run at a 0.2% fee (which I consider a LOT more reasonable for a widely-used mining program of comparable performance).
