Cancel 1080s, get all 1070ti's.



Curious as to why?
Probably for the reasons I mentioned in the previous post. GDDR5x has currently no advantages for mining over the regular GDDR5 (except some very moderate power savings). The compute difference between 1070 Ti and 1080 is only about ~5% (based on the number of cuda cores). You'll lose a lot more than 5% in the algos that are memory dependent (that's ETH and Neoscrypt for the most part). ETH rarely makes sense to mine on nvidia cards, but Neoscrypt is all the rage right now. And it's faster on 1070 Ti.

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it. Does it make sense to keep two of the RX's with the Nvidias to have an 8 card rig or because I paid too much, it wouldn't.
