I'm extremely confused, I have a ZOTAC ZT-P10810F-10P GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme Core Edition 11GB GDDR5X 352-bit to be precise and the highest my hash rate has ever spiked was like 34 Mh/s. I have tried probably five different miners and I'm now using z-enemy. Increasing my power and probably primarily increasing my fan speed maually has resulted in a fairly good boost to my speed and stablity, but it normally hovers around 22-24 Mh/s, whereas before it was more like 15-18. I really do not understand where these review numbers like 33 Mh/s or even your 58 Mh/s for Groestl come from because I NEVER get that. I noticed about 34 or so Mh/s when z-enemy reported a nearly totally easy algorithm, but I can't even fathom 860 Mh/s.

I bought this card on Amazon, it seemed to have pretty nice reviews, but was I ripped off or something? My system reports it as a 1080 ti, it looks the same as in all of the pictures I've seen. It just seems that everyone reports such a higher hash rate than I've ever received. Moreover, when I run a benchmark, such as with Awesome Miner, it shows a steady 34 or so Mh/s, but I'm assuming their benchmark is just flawed somehow, but that's also confusing!

Does anyone have any advice? This is my card from computer upgrade kings. Thank you for reading.

This is the last Rig I built. As others have stated, if you are going to build a rig to learn how to mine totally worth the experience, if you are totally purely speculative, better to use the $$$ to buy the coins. I personally do both. The Base Rig will set you back about $800 (No Cards) expandable to 8 cards. Million different configs but I personally would start with a single 1080. Good luck and happy mining. :-)

I have this exact RX580 8gb nitro+ from Sapphire and I can only average around 4.5. I saw BBT get 6.2 and you are saying you average at 6.8?????

I went into radeon settings and set it to compute mode and that brought my 3.5 up to the 4.5 I have now, but that's still garbage compared to the >6 that I hear people are getting with these cards. How exactly are you pulling the >6? Which sgminer are you using (I hear there are two forks floating around)? What does your bat look like? Here's mine:

set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

@echo on

sgminer -k x16r -o stratum+tcp://ravenminer.com:3636 -u <address> -p x --gpu-platform 1 -I 22

Here is a good riser

To power the risers use 6 pin from your PSU or if you don’t have enough put two molex from your PSU into these

I use a Wemo insight. It will email you your power usage in a spreadsheet and also has the ability of restarting your PC if you use the app and have the bios set.
