What do you mean by benchmarking?
If you have to ask...
You cant afford it....
Lol no idea just being a fuck
I'm going to benchmark the rig using NiceHash and other miners to see what I can get. I trust whattomine, but I like finding out for myself.
Nicehash has a good benchmarking function that takes about 20 minutes. Very precise. It squeezes as much hashing power as it can from your setup and modifies its config file to mine the most profitable coin at the time, then adjusts accordingly as it mines.
The only thing I will change on my next build is the motherboard. This one is top of the line, but it is designed to support 13 GPUs. I don't need that since I cannot use more than six 1080TIs on one rig due to the required wattage
If I had a bunch of 1060s, I'd probably swap it out and use them on this motherboard since the 1060 uses far less wattage and I could use all 13 gpu ports
Gotcha that makes sense
Question. I have an extra 1080TI that I do not have a power cord for. It takes a 8 pin and a 6 pin auxiliary. Would it hurt the card to use an 8 pin power cord and an additional 6 pin power cord plugged into the auxiliary, both using separate VGA ports on my power supply?
I don't understand the question
So a 1080TI card has two power ports. One requires an 8 pin and the other is an auxiliary power port that is also required. See here:
My power supply came with 5 power cords that have a six pin and an eight pin on one end, and the other end plugs into my power supply.
The power supply also came with 3 power cords that have just an 8 pin on the end, no 6 pin.
It also came with 3 power cords that have just a 6 pin on the end, no 8 pin.
So my question is, since I am one cord short, would it damage my card if I used two cords, one 6 pin and one 8 pin, and plugged them both into the card and into my power supply.
I'm 90% confident that it won't damage it by overdrawing power, but I just want to see if anyone has any extra information just in case
I'm pretty sure that if the cords fit into the holes it'll work
@here
Okay everyone. Just got off the phone with NVIDIA support. Turns out that you can indeed connect two separate power cords to a 1080TI in order to power it without damaging your card. Just sharing for future reference.
Thank you, @Jossur Surtrson . The first "everyone" post I've seen that's actually _useful. LOL
My PC runs off of 1000W but it's not for mining
my PC does what I need to for vidya
All I play are EU4, Skyrim and The Sims

yeah but you're a threadlet
You've got 4 and I've got 16
:^)
Tru
but I didn't pay for anything except the graphics card
just fucking with you man, I can't afford to blow my paycheck on PC hardware anymore either
That was when I was 17 and a dependent
lol
yeah I can barely afford food
So you would think I'd be thinner than I am
@Haupstürmfuhrer Pepe Geez louise
If I ever find myself in NC I'm going to stop by your place just to see that thing
Please do not take the name of the Lord in such profane language
@CatoHostilius Sry that was inconsiderate of me
