Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

Clock Rates, Cooling, And Noise

Clock Rates

Manufacturers can claim whatever they want in their marketing material. Actually achievable clock rates are subject to a number of hard-to-control variables, though. GPU quality, for instance, plays a big role, and there’s no way to pre-screen what you get on that front. So, it’s absolutely possible that a nominally slower card made by one board partner ends up faster than a more aggressively-tuned model from another partner. As a result, comparisons between products have to be approached with an understanding of some inherent uncertainty.

Board vendors can, however, control the settings and environmental factors that affect how GPU Boost ultimately determines operating frequency, depending on the situations it encounters. Beyond specifications like the power target or clock offset, temperature under load is perhaps the most influential factor in defining sustainable performance.

For MSI’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G, we measured an initial GPU Boost frequency of 1961 MHz. As the card warmed up, it maintained an average of 1873 MHz during our 30-minute measurement. But if the cooling were manually adjusted to more aggressive settings, this card would likely sustain the 1924 MHz peak reading we observed after warming it up.

Overclocking

Of course, the card does tolerate some additional overclocking. In our case, we achieved a stable 2050 MHz under air cooling, though we did have to significantly adjust MSI’s fan curve to bring temperatures down. This results in a lot of extra noise you might not want.

If you plan to overclock, definitely consider increasing the power target to 330W and max out the voltage slider. As long as your temperatures stay under 149°F (65°C) during gaming workloads, 2050 MHz should be attainable aside from the occasional dip.

Getting a good overclock from your memory requires perseverance and a bit of luck. Seemingly stable settings might work short-term, and then prove dicey after a few hours of gaming. In the case of our sample, an extra 300 to 400 MT/s was feasible. Beyond that, performance started sliding the other direction.

Temperatures

Let’s get back to our comments on the cooling frame covering the memory modules and their power supply. If we take our measurements on a free-breathing open test bench, everything looks good.

But if the conditions worsen (and they will in a closed case), MSI’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G starts showing signs of thermal stress. The memory’s poorly-cooled VRM causes a small hot-spot that, over time, may have a negative impact on the GDDR5X temperatures.

At least for now, we’ll signal the all-clear. According to Micron’s specifications, the modules are fine at up to 203°F (95°C).

The situation worsens a bit under our stress test, since the card is getting quite a bit hotter (even on the open test bench).

Running a stress test inside of a closed case sends our readings into the critical range. Despite two good case fans, some of the memory modules are running outside of their specs. The PCB material around the hot-spot may suffer long-term effects as well. While it’s true that FurMark isn’t an application many enthusiasts run for fun, rendering and compute tasks can be similarly taxing.

Fan Speeds and Noise

Since MSI likes to emphasize quiet operation, the results we collect aren’t surprising. Under a gaming load, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 11G’s fans spin at just over 1500 RPM on our open test bench. In a more realistic closed case scenario, they operate at 1800 RPM. Those results aren’t exactly loud, but they are certainly audible.

We measured similar fan speeds during the stress test, with similar consequences.

Using our special temperature-controlled anechoic chamber, we took a maximum reading of 37.2 dB(A), which really isn’t bad for a flagship 300W card.

This is one of the better interpretations of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Only the small slip-up in cooling the memory’s power supply mars an otherwise strong performance. We’re a picky bunch, though.

Review and testing of the video card Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

What is the GTX 1080 Ti capable of in mining?

In this large review of the 1080 Ti card in mining, we will determine the optimal overclocking settings for 1080 ti for mining ether, find out what consumption this card has, look at the effect of the magic pill for ether, which raises the efficiency of 1080 Ti in mining by 40%, find out how much money you can earn on this card and compare 1080 Ti vs 1080 in cryptocurrency mining.

Let’s see how this card works on NiceHash.

Life hack! Adding +3 MH/s to 1080 TI on Windows with Nvidia Profile Inspector

This hack doesn’t always work, but you can try. This only applies to Windows. Download Nvidia Profile Inspector. Unzip the archive and run nvidiaProfileInspector.exe.

Enable CUDA — Force P2 State.

In the Common section, you need to find the value CUDA — Force P2 State and switch to the On position. Wait a little time, and the hashrate will have to rise by about 3 MH / s.

Overclocking 1080 TI for mining ether (ETH)

How to overclock 1080 TI for mining in order to get the maximum hash rate? Overclocking 1080 ti for mining should be done only after using the tablet, since as many hashes as the tablet gives, more than one overclock will not give. Overclocking for mining is different from overclocking a game card. We need to find the optimal settings for mining the desired coin and power consumption. I will show you the optimal 1080 TI overclocking settings for Ethereum mining.

It doesn’t matter where you overclock the card, on Windows via MSI Afterburner, on Hive OS or Rave OS. The chip and memory frequencies are the same. For ether, memory overclocking is more important than GPU overclocking.

Overclocking 1080 TI for mining ether (ETH) in Windows

Overclocking GTX 1080 TI in Windows for mining ether

  • Power Limit set to 85-100% (look at the final result).
  • Core Clock (MHz) add +90.
  • Memory Clock (MHz) add +400.

That’s all. The hashrate should go up another 3-5 MH/s after taking the pill.

Overclock 1080 Ti for mining ether (ETH) in Hive OS

Overclock 1080 Ti for mining ETH in Hive OS.

1. In the tab Farms (Farms), select the desired farm, where there are 1080ti.

Hive OS — Farms

2. Choose a rig with 1080 Ti.

3. Select the desired card and click on the speedometer icon. You can select this icon next to a specific map, or select the speedometer icon with the inscription ALL. Here you can set overclocking settings for all Nvidia or AMD cards. If you have multiple 1080 or 1080 Ti, you can apply overclocking to all cards at once.

4. Next, you need to set 80 or 90 in the + Core Clock Mhz field. Set 800 or 900 in the Memory Clock, Mhz field. overclocking 1080 Ti in Windows. Here we do not set the actual value of the memory and GPU frequencies, but enter the value of the addition to the base frequency. Those. in the + Core Clock Mhz field, we indicate how much to increase the frequency of the GPU. And in the Memory Clock, Mhz field, we indicate how much to increase the memory frequency divided by 2. That is. by specifying 800 Mhz, we thereby increase the memory frequency by 400 Mhz. Pointing 900 Mhz, we increase the frequency by 450 Mhz.

You can also specify Power Limit, W. It is indicated in watts. But if you start limiting the card, the hashrate of the card will start to drop. How much the card consumes watts, minimum and maximum, can be viewed in the rig window (Overview).

Maximum and minimum card consumption in Hive OS

Overclocking 1080 TI for mining ether (ETH) in Rave OS

Overclocking 1080 Ti for mining ETH in Rave OS.

1. Go to the Workers tab.

Workers tab in RaveOS

2. Go to worker settings (Edit worker).

3. Go to the Tunning tab. And set the values ​​​​for overclocking. In the Core Clock offset, Mhz field, set the value to 80, i.e. add 80 Mhz according to the processor frequency, and in the Memory Clock offset, Mhz field, set the value to 800 Mhz, it works the same as in Hive OS, divide the frequency by 2. That is, a value of 800 increases the memory frequency by 400 Mhz.

4. Press the «Save & Apply» button.

That’s all, nothing complicated, 4 simple steps.

Memory and overclocking

The card is equipped with 11 gigabytes of graphics memory. Most often supplied — «Micron», less often «Elpida», very rarely «Samsung».

Core:

Core clock ~ + 150 for perfect operation without crash. Gives about 750-770 Mh/s.

From memory:

Memory clock ~ +350 is an ideal overclocking indicator at which the card works stably (does not issue rejects) and the system does not reboot (does not crash)

with such overclocking the map issues:

  1. Equihash-750-760 MH/S
  2. Timetravel10-230/255 MH/S

consumption 1080 Ti . If you want to squeeze out 45 to 50 MH/s, then don’t count on consuming less than 220 watts in mining. If you could optimize this map better, write about it in the comments.

Before tableting and overclocking, 1080 Ti consumes about 190W and gives out 32 MH/s. Definitely not an option for owners of these cards, given that the RX 580 8Gb gives the same hashes, only with a consumption of 85W.

Consumption of 1080 TI watts in mining.

As you can see, by default, 1080 Ti consumes about 190W and at the same time produces about 33 MH / s. When you turn on the tablet and overclock, the watt consumption of the 1080 Ti increases to 220-250W.

Watt consumption of 1080 Ti when overclocked and using a tablet.

A farm of seven 1080 Tis consumes 1636 W, with each card consuming between 220 and 250 watts.

How much can you earn? Less profitable mining of coins will be on the algorithm, «PHI1612». You can also mine Algori (Ether) coins, but it will be almost not profitable.

For example, on May 28, 2018, on the algorithm (ZEC coin) from one ZOTAC 1080 Ti AMP video card you will receive:

  1. Total coins per day from one ZOTAC 1080 TI AMP video card– 0.0098 ZEC.
  2. The amount in dollars equivalent to mined coins per day of mining coins of the Equihash algorithm with one video card ZOTAC 1080 TI AMP = $ 2.20
  1. Total coins per day from 1 video card 1080 TI AMP – 0.6434 BTX.
  2. The amount in dollars, equivalent to mined coins, per day of mining coins of the Equihash algorithm with one ZOTAC 1080 TI AMP video card = $ 2. 32

The difference in profit per video card on these algorithms is almost minimal. Which coin to download is up to you.

It is worth noting right away that cryptocurrency rates are constantly changing and at any time Zec mining can be much more profitable than BTX. The difficulty also changes. For example, the Zen coin on the algorithm can drop in difficulty and bring more coins for an indefinite time — in this case, mining Zen will also be profitable.

Next, consider less profitable algorithms for mining with one Zotac 1080 TI video card (using the algorithm and the NN coin as an example):

  1. Total coins per day from one video card 1080 TI AMP – 2.9277 INN.
  2. The amount in dollars equivalent to mined coins per day of mining coins of the Equihash algorithm with one ZOTAC 1080 TI AMP video card = 1.71 $

The same will be the case for the algorithm with one Zotac 1080 TI AMP video card:

  1. Total coins per day from 1 video card 1080 TI AMP — 0. 0028 ETH.
  2. Amount in dollars, equivalent to mined coins, per day of mining coins of the Equihash algorithm with one ZOTAC 1080 TI AMP video card = $ 1.53

From the above examples, it can be seen that for the 1080 TI AMP video card considered in this review, it is most profitable to mine algori coins — this is how you get more profit.

If you want to mine coins that work on other algorithms, then we still advise you to dig more profitable coins of the Equihash algorithm, then sell them on the stock exchange or in an exchanger and get the coin you need. So you will earn more than if you immediately mined a coin of an unprofitable algorithm.

In order not to be unfounded, let’s give an example: $ 2.20 — income per day from one card when mining Zec (Equihash algorithm) and $ 1.53 income per day from the same AMP 1080 TI video card when mining Ethereum (Ethash algorithm).

It turns out that if you sell Zec and buy from the received money on the ETH exchange, it turns out that you will receive Ether by $0. 67 cents more than with its direct mining. And this is an extra $20 dollars per month that you can spend on buying Ether.

Please note that in 2021, a tablet for Nvidia video cards “OhGodAnETHlargementPill” was released, which allows you to overclock 1080 TI to 55 Mh / s on the algorithm, which on 05/27/2018 will allow you to mine Ethereum for $ 2.43.

The tablet unleashes the full power of GDDR5. But it is worth noting that it greatly heats up the video memory of the card, which can have a bad effect on it, and therefore lead to a breakdown faster. At the same time, the graphics chip is colder than on the Equihash algorithm.

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Driver

When installing NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti drivers, it is always recommended to uninstall the current drivers first. This way you can be sure that DCH drivers will not be installed by Windows 10.

You can download drivers NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti here. We recommend trying different driver versions. Some driver versions can cause problems during mining. Installing an older version may fix the issue.

Overclock NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti for mining

Overclock NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti for mining using MSI Afterburner. You can find it in Yandex. The program interface is very simple, albeit a little colorful) To overclock the video card, we need two sliders:

  • Core Clock — overclocking the core, increases the frequency of the core;
  • Memory Clock — memory overclocking, increases the frequency of the memory.
  • Power Limit — allows you to increase or decrease the power consumption of the video card.

MSI Afterburner — overclocking video cards

You need to change the frequency values ​​a little. Then test the stability of the work. If everything is fine, then increase the frequency even more. If the video card starts to crash or the driver crashes, then we simply reduce the frequency and that’s it. There will be no harm. Next, we will consider overclocking options for popular algorithms.
