1080 TI FE, poor performance

Mining Mining Support
1

Hey everyone, mining noob here. I’m trying to find the best overall configuration (overclock, miner, pool etc) to use to get the best performance out of my 1080 TI FE.

I see people getting 700+ sols/s and I don’t understand what it is I’m doing wrong.

Here’s what I have, and how it’s set up as of right now:

EVGA X58 motherboard, intel i7 980x, 12gb DDR3-1600 ram
MSI GTX 1080 TI FE, overclocked:

  • Power Target, 120%
  • Thermal Target, 90 deg
  • GPU offset, +175 (Total clock is running @ 2050 rock solid)
  • MEM offset, +500 (Total mem clock is running @ 5508 rock solid)
  • Fans @ 100% to avoid any doubt, Temps @ 59 deg rock solid

I’m running NiceHash Miner v1.7.5.13, I’m on the latest GeForce drivers. Here’s an excerpt of my Z-Cash stats:

[12:39:01][0x00000e20][info] =====> 270.826667 H/s
[12:39:01][0x00000e20][info] gpuinfo | GPU#0 TEMP: 59 C USAGE: 100 % MEMCTRL: 30 % POWER: 173.339 W
[12:39:01][0x00000e20][info] =====> Total power: 173.339W Efficiency: 1.562410

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I forgot to mention my OS: Windows 10 LTSB (Long Term Service Branch)

True story, just did a reboot, it applied a windows update (unsure which one as of right now) redid the overclock. Cleared benchmark and re-benched… 690-697 Sols/s very strange…
