Can anyone explain the invalid hashrate? Running 4x 1080 Ti's and as of right now its sitting around 677 MH/s. Is it server side or me?

Re: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

Hey guys I just moved from the Rox 480s to 1080tis, what these settings I keep reading about, like running at 80% etc?

I bought the msi seahawk corsair hybrid coolers, so cards running at 51c at 100% power.

I'm very keen to optimise so tips would be welcome.
I think most users run cards between 60-90% power target so around 150w - 210w roughly for most 1080 Ti's.

As you will see the more power you run through your card the more hashing power it produces but it doesn't scale well to hashrate. I run all 4 of my 1080 Ti's @ 60% power target which is 150w. They hover around 52-55C and are nice and cool. Allows the fans to only ramp up to around 60% so its quieter and less heat it produced. Also uses a lot less electricity.

For example, Zcash I was running @ 120% power target (2100Mhz core) which is nearly 300w and I was getting around 780-790 Sol/s. I turned down the power target to 60% (1750Mhz) and was getting around 630 Sol/s. Half the power and only losing 150 Sol/s.

Please stop using percentuals of the pl... each gpu can have a different default pl and xx% of it doesn't mean anything without the info of the default tdp wattage.
You can see the actual limit in watts with the nvidiasmi command.
Spikes won't go too far above pl and you have a decent psu. I would probably set the limit to 250W.
Limit is 120 (so its 300w) , as you can see its jumping above of limit.

Yeah that makes me nervous with my risers. Also difficulty is around 210 right now. So I don't think I'm going to be dabbling in the spreadminer. Perhaps something else like Nexus.

Can we use mod 10 if we are worried about too much power draw?

4x 1080 Ti on an EVGA 1300 G2.


Check the power draw with:
C:\"Program Files"\"NVIDIA Corporation"\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe -l

and set the desired tdp with msi afterburner.
You didn't see any spikes? I would like it to never go above 85% pl.

Edit: I use precision x right now and set all my cards to 60% power target.

Oh yeah forgot about that.

All my cards 60% = 150w 80% = 200w.

This SP-mod 11 looks great for having 4x 1080 Ti.

Anyone try mining Hush or Komodo?

Hows the experience? Might be a bit late on peak profit but if it is still reasonable maybe can try.
Was making 6-7 coin a day with Hush and 4 1080 Ti's.

well that is very poor, only 0.07 a day with 4 1080ti? you can make more than 0.01 mining somethign else with that 4 beast of gpu
Such as?

If anyone wants to purchase the SP spreadcoin private miner at a discount price ($15 profit per 1080ti, $9 profit per 1070, 5$ profit per 1060) I'm selling it for half price 0.025 BTC

my btc address: 3Dt62uBuNCDxHcA8cFxaaJHZjtAufoq7EP

Send me a PM with your email and I will send it out to you.
Does it not work as expected? Smiley

Look at the current price, see, is going to hell, know why? because asics are coming, stupid devs. Siacoin will likely never be pumped again, people know this is not a good investment anymore. They are getting out.
Have you looked at coin prices in the last 24 hours? They are almost all red...

Hi,

I would like to ask what is the best clock setting for 1070 cards by MSI after burner to get best results and lowest power usage?

Understand it depends on what you are mining. Eth loves memory but Sia, Zcash and LBRY love core speed.

Keep in mind you don't have to run the cards @ 250w. They become less efficient over 150-170w IMO.

I'm powering 4 off an EVGA 1300 G2. Total power draw from the system is probably 800-900w I estimate.

Re: After crash/power outage rig ignores claymore clocks and voltages, runs stock

I'm not entirely sure how AMD cards operate but this is standard of NVIDIA cards. If it the display driver crashes, clocks reset back to stock. Most likely your card that is crashing is overclocked to high.

Re: Most power hungry algorithms for Nvidia?
by
damstr
on 06/07/2017, 01:56:07 UTC
Hello,

Basically, the topic says it all. Which are the most power hungry algorithms for Nvidia cards? Is there anywhere I can see which ones require more power than others - without testing myself?

Thanks!
All I know is when I run the nicehash benchmark, one of the benchmarks put's a crazy amount of stress on the GPU. Like on most test the core is around 1700mhz but on one of the test it goes up to 2037mhz even though I'm 60% power target and +150 on the core. It's weird.

Re: Any word on amd vega hash rates?

on 06/07/2017, 01:42:57 UTC
I'd wait vega, i have a feeling nvidia might reduce 1080 ti's price a bit.
Only if Vega out performs the 1080 Ti which I doubt it will. No reason for NVIDIA to reduce the price on the 1080 Ti if it still holds the performance crown.

Re: Manual overclocking makes no sense on nVidia cards...
by

on 06/07/2017, 01:40:39 UTC
My 1080 Ti's say differently. If I set power limit to 60% I get around 1500MHz. If I then add +150 to the core, the core clock increases 150Mh to around 1750Mhz. Do that on 4 cards and you are effectively getting a 600Mhz boost and the results are in the MH/s the miner is reporting.

With GPU boost the freq does jump around here and there but usually not more than 50Mhz.

Going to start mining this with 4x 1080 Ti's. Looks to be more profitable than LBRY at the moment. Anyone else make the switch from LBRY to DGB? I should get around 3600+MH/s with 4 cards.

Re: Ver 7 Riser + Sata but only running cards @ 150w
by
damstr
on 04/07/2017, 21:54:18 UTC
You can power risers off Sata power. It's important to never use more than two connections per strand MAX. Since EVGA G2 PSU's have four connectors per strand, I would use a Sata splitter cable to distribute the load over two connectors and power up to two risers from each strand. You can also do the same with 4-pin molex connectors. MAX two connections per strand.

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-2-Pack-Molex-Power/dp/B01DV1Z22K

I use version 6 6-PIN PCI-E risers powered by a dual PSU setup that has all the risers and motherboard powered by the same PSU and the larger PSU only powers the VGA power inputs on the cards. Each riser uses between 45-50 W.
Awesome thanks. I'll see how they run off the 6 pin to sata with 2 risers per strand but I'll order those 6 pin to 2 sata adapters for peace of mind.

Thanks!

Ver 7 Riser + Sata but only running cards @ 150w
by
damstr
on 04/07/2017, 21:24:29 UTC
Seems to be a big no no to power risers off sata. My rig will consist 4x 1080 Ti's. only two are hooked up now directly to the mobo.

My risers are the version 7's that have a 6 pin PCIe on the pcb and come with 6 pin to sata adapters. Now I only plan on running the cards up to 60% power target max which is 150w. The 1080 ti's have 8+6 pin which is good for 225w. From what I gathered it seems so long as I stay below 225w the card won't draw power from the riser. Is this right?

I am using an EVGA 1300w PSU and was going to power 2 risers per PSU sata cable.
