Complete 1080TI Comparison and Rankings


The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080TI graphics card is the top pick graphics card available in terms of hash density. It's not the cheapest card, nor is it the most energy effecient, but pound-for-pound (and when electricity cost isn't a factor) the 1080TI is the best available mining card.



All 1080TI's have been proven to produce generally the same hashrates as their counterparts. You'll see that some cards have higher clock speeds than others - meaning that individual card has been factory-tested and guaranteed to be able to handle at least the listed OC setting. Depending on the "silicon lottery" some individual cards are capable of stably handling much higher OC settings. Unfortunately there is no way to investigate which ones are best until you take them out of the box and test for yourself.
 
  • Want better airflow and a quieter rig? Opt for a large form factor, more fans, and a non-standard cooling style.
  • 1080TI dual 8-pin power connectors typically see slightly more stable overclocks within the mining community.

So Which 1080TI's are Recommended?

Best 1080ti for mining. Bottom line is that all of the above cards are fine and sufficient for good hashing/mining. But you want the best, right? Me too! Here are the qualities I use to judge best cards, in this order:

Reputable manufacturer and warranty ➣ aftermarket cooling type ➣ larger form factor ➣ more fans ➣ OC benchmarks reports.
