when you use ewbf miner then you could use -pec or --pec. then it will give you more information about the gpu power
as you can see here below is gives you the sol/w the higher number that is the better it is.
I think the best is 65% power and then the highest OC you can get with that
Temp: GPU0: 68C
GPU0: 458 Sol/s
Total speed: 458 Sol/s

I am getting about 3.7 on GTX1070s. You can get more efficient on some other cards, but you also have to account for the cost of the card itself which is like 170 more dollars than the 1070. It was the best bang for the buck when I did my last calculations unless you have some hookup on cards.
So the avg power usage with 1080ti is about 160w for 700 sol/s? I see lots of pushing these to max but wondering where the sweet spot is. I would like to build a new rig of 1080ti for my next one to gain better sol/w than my 1070 rigs.
Stumbled upon this thread while researching power efficiency…
I have 3x 1080 (not ti), and using bminer (has nice browser utility) I am getting ~4.3 Sols/W
Clock is +245 Memory +1000 and power limit is 70. All 3 combined ~1600 Sols drawing ~ 374w @ ~55C on air (no case). This looks too good to be true by reading through comments here.
