Hi i want to know if it still worth to MINE? I want to buy one. Which coin is the best to mine with the 1080Ti right now??

I just started mining with 3 x 1080ti since a few hours and my hashrate is around 2300h/s. Total power consumption of the rig is around 500Wh.

I followed this guide https://steemkr.com/bitcoin/@draiden/getting-started-with-mining-electroneum-using-a-gpu-nvidia and using standard settings. Still very novice, so didn't start tuning. I'm curious if better hashrates can be obtained.

How much are you guys currently getting with the 1080ti ?

Don't mine Electroneum. It's a Cryptonight algo, which is great on AMD but NOT on nVidia. You can mine skein, skunk, groestl, lyra2rev2 or lyra2z algos quite well.

Thanks mate! Any particular coin that you would recommend?

Limited maximum GPUs?

Hello fellow miners,

I've set up a mining rig using the following hardware:

ASUS Prima Z270-P motherboard
Intel Pentium G4400 CPU
4GB RAM
4 x Geforce 1080 Ti GPUs
Seasonic M12II EVO 520w to power 2 of the GPUs
Seasonic M12II EVO 620w to power another 2 GPUs and the motherboard + PCIe risers + SSD
Windows 7

Now, I connected all 4 GPUs, but windows can only detect 3 of them. By playing around a bit and plugging/unplugging cables, I noticed that when the 4th GPU is detected, the other 3 are not. Whatever combination I try, either 1 ore 3 GPUs are detected. Can't make it work with 4.

Any idea why? I would doubt that it's a power issue, because the motherboard alone without any GPUs uses around 80 watts of electricity. Nevertheless, I'd try to underclock them a bit to ~200w, if somebody could give me a hint how to do that with PNY cards.

Tanks in advance!
