i think figured it out. seems i had to go to Nvidia control panel and change settings to "Maximum performance" instead of "Optimal Power". now the Watt reading is correct.

also my mining rig which is on wifi was too far away from router= i moved it closer and ping is around 80ms now consistently and no connection errors.

getting expected hashs now. seems consistent to whattomine estimates. i am getting ~95sol combined.

1070ti 75%/+250core/+500mem = ~42sol
1080ti 75%/+190core/+700mem = ~53sol

i am happy now
