Hey Guys,
Some people would argue that an AMD 580 is the best card for mining, especially with Dual Mining support
What do you think? Is the 1080 ti more for "niche mining" or did you make the experience of having a better profit per watt ratio than AMD cards?

The 580 is not the best card. The reason why it and the 480 were so popular was because it offered the best price to performance ratio back when it was selling at or under MSRP. These days it's as overpriced as everything else and there are far better cards in absolute performance and performance per watt, so it doesn't make much sense to buy them anymore unless you can get them cheap.
The 1080ti on the other hand is much better in absolute performance and in performance per watt, as well as performance per space, but it's always been quite a bit more expensive to buy. With the currently inflated prices though, I'd feel better about overpaying for a high performance part than a mid-range part.
Thank you very much for your reply!
I have one Asus Strix 1080Ti as well and are starting to mine a bit.
I am mining neoscrypt coins right now, these are my settings:
the last one is the one i am mining with right now, i pay about 22 dollar cents for one kilowatt hour of energy
Any suggestions to improve my settings?
