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.

Perfect thanks!
