GPU mining is becoming more interesting by the day. With the recent addition of Bitcoin Gold to the portfolio of ASIC-resistant coins and Ethereum price having a steady upward trend, GPU mining seems to be at its peak.
This motivates me to keep trying the newest GPUs for mining in the hope of finding the next jackpot. Or at least, I hope to find a decent alternative to our beloved RX 4xx and 5xx cards.
Today, I’m reviewing the brand new GTX 1070 Ti – the newest addition to the family of mid-high-end GPUs.
GTX 1070 Release
The GTX 1070 Ti is being advertised as a new-gen gaming GPU with a ton of features that should make it interesting for gamers. Besides those I’m going to list in a minute, the 1070 Ti also got great aesthetics – for instance, the color of its LED logo and lights can be tweaked so it matches the color of the rig, the shape and color of the board looks great on its own, etc.
All of this means that the card will probably will be available for sale for a short period of time. I can already picture hordes of hungry gamers ripping the cards off the shelves. Or is that so? Ironically, as for today, gaming gear sites haven’t been really excited when reviewing the 1070 Ti, which gives us some hopes.
Apparently gamers aren’t really thrilled about the card, since it performs not better than the AMD RX Vega 64 and only about 8% better than the GTX 1070. 8% is good improvement, but it only serves to compensate the price difference.
This probably means that we, miners, will have a chance to get the card at a reasonable price for our rigs.
Now, how does the card performs mining-wise?
Hashrate and Power Efficiency
As techspot pointed it out, the GTX 1070Ti got quite decent overclocking headroom. I’m saying that before I disappoint you with the GTX 1070Ti hashrate on factory clocks.
Hashrate: 26.3 MH/s
Power Draw: 120 W
Its predecessor, the GTX 1070 can be configured to output up to 32 MH/s with a power consumption of only 130 W. Eventually, it will take some effort to beat that mark using the 1070 Ti.
The power efficiency of the 1070 Ti isn’t the brightest when on factory clocks, which is why I’ve stared this by mentioning about the overclocking potential.
I still got to try all the possible clock combination to find out the sweet spot. Here are my best results so far:

Cooling System
One of the main pros of the card is that the GTX 1070 Ti got a really nice cooling system. This is actually one of the main reasons why I’ve ordered mine. Overclocking is often limited by the cooling capacity of the GPU. Some people install custom cooling systems on their cards, but it takes a lot of work to do so.
Fans are turned off by default and will start spinning only after the card reaches 64 degrees. Even then, those are way more silent than most of the fans you will hear. This is rather impressive, considering that the card features three fans, not one.
According to the specs, Geforce’s signature Windforce fans together with composite heat-pipes make the cooling system about 50% more efficient than the one on the 1070 Ti FE. While I have no way to find out whether the 50% is a real number, I do notice that the card is really well cooled and I am inclined to believe that it has a long lifespan.
GTX 1070 Ti Specs
- 8GB GDDR5 256bit memory
- WINDFORCE 3X with Blade Fan Design
- Protection Metal Back Plate
- RGB Fusion-16.7M Customizable Color Lighting
- Support up to 8K display @60Hz (requires 2*DP1.3 connectors)
Core Clock
- Boost: 1721 MHz / Base: 1632 MHz (OC Mode)
- Boost: 1683 MHz / Base: 1607MHz (Gaming Mode)
It is also worth mentioning that the GTX 1070 Ti features 2,432 CUDA cores, while the 1070 has only 1,920. The base clock of the 1070 Ti is 100 MHz higher too, though the rated boost clock remains the same at 1683MHz. All of this is cool, though by having same memory bandwidth, both cards hash the same no matter the difference in the amount of CUDA cores.
It is also worth mentioning that legitreviews found a bug that makes the GTX 1070 Ti hash lower than expected. When gaming, the memory can be clocked up to 2000 MHz without any issue. Now, when mining, the clocks of some of the memory banks go down to about 1900 MHz.
They’ve said that they have contacted Nvidia regarding this issue in the hope that it might be fixed in future driver releases.
In Conclusion
While I’m not thrilled about the new card, I am looking for ways to make it work for mining. At best, the 1070 Ti will become an okay mining card. At worst, it will grab the attention of gamers and will hopefully make the 1070 more available for sale. The huge amount of cores it features apparently does not affect mining, but hopefully gamers will find a way around to make it a great gaming GPU.
Summary
GTX 1070 Ti Pros
- Great cooling system
- Great build quality – high-end mosfets and capacitors definitely add to its stability and lifespan
- Possible overclock potential (yet to be explored)
- Sturdy and silent fans
- Stylish, fancy and gaming-oriented design – can be sold to gamers
GTX 1070 Ti Cons
- Low hashrate when on factory settings
- High power consumption (will require a beefy PSU(s), especially if the rig is big enough)
- Price not low enough when compared to its alternatives
Nvidia forced all of their licensed manufacturers to ship without binning their GPUs. True they all ship with factory specs but no two of these things will overclock the same. You’ll either get an okay GPU or you could get one that overclocks a little bit more than others. For the added cost increase over a regular 1070, you roll the dice every time you buy one of these. I guessed that’s why gamers are irritated. From a mining standpoint, other than factory clock settings, it’s going to be hard to nail down hash rates for this card because of the binning issue makes it an apples to oranges comparison.
Actually i am going to add a note for this card, i had some serious hashrate drops with the first tests but then everything went let’s say ok.. nicehash is the only miner that runs stable.. can’t explain why but there is no hashrate drop at all. I will test a different brand soon.
please ciprian i need your help, am having issues with my rig..asrock h81 probtc r2.0,rx 580 dataland 8gb,4gb ram,psu 1200w with window 10 installed..i have follow all the process above but still unable to power all the gpu…The problem its that when the rig start,its will run ten to fifteen secs then stop when window display.in device manager i can see all the cards and if i unstalled amd driver with ddu then all the cards will run but will not be display on the device manager..i have combine both 16.4 and 17.5 software still no way and i have try installing only 16 still the issues still arise…please i need assistance.its there anything i need to do more because i have been battling this issue for a week now..you can give me your skype
Sounds to me like you need more power. get another PSU to power a couple of the cards, you’ll need a jumper cable to get that second PSU sending power all the time
I have two 1200w already ,even if I put one card it’s occur and it happen whenever I update the drivers but if I use ddu to installed the driver then the guy will start…. I have combine double version of amd and also patch
Try with less GPUS until it starts, Windows can run up to 8 gpus, or even 7
The gamer community is suffering because of you guys
No its not.
So do we.. btw.. we are not the reason lol.. i am gamer too 😛
Thank you, Ciprian, for good article! Now I have no questions about 1070ti!
Hi. I get 450 Sol on Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX 1070 +100 Mhz core, + 400 Vram @ 70 power limit – 125W on EWBF 0.3.4b. I think i can get more if i tweak them, but i have only 3 cards, and it’s not worth to beat my head. 🙂
Hello,
Yesterday i go onone magazin to buy 3x 1070ti G1 Gigabyte but we have a problem with them.
They are crashing on NiceHash benchmark.
We try directly with Ewf cuda miner, it crash again.
I read your review about this model but there is no problem.
Is it possible card to be locked for mining by Gigabyte or Nvidia?
Best Regards
Krasi
I’m avilable everyday, you can reach me also @ +359899690609 or at facebook Krasimir Garchev
not sure what you mean.. but if you are asking if any 1070 is good for mining the answer is yes 🙂
Hi Ciprian,
I ask that: Is it possible new card to be locked for mining?
Please check also i speak about 1070ti, not stock 1070.
Best Regards
Krasi
Nope, is not locked.. i was able to mine with it..
With 1070ti or 1070?
We have a problem with 1070ti G1 Gaming and all miners crash and fans on v. cards stoped.
In had some hashrate fluctuations but that’s it.. i was able to run it stable..
If i see
ASUS STRIX 1070 and MSI GTX 1070Ti at the same price which is better for mining ?
Same hashrate 🙂
Thank you for answering my question.
They offer same hash rate at the same power draw ? , i did already placed the command for 6x 1070 ASUS STRIX and i hope i will get once with Samsung memory .
From you name i would assume that you are Romania , I live in Bucharest and if you don’t mind may i ask you some questions about mining ?
Thanks in advance
Sure go ahead 🙂
Is there a maximum amount that i can withdraw from Bank ? i am still having fear to withdraw more than 2000 Ron as i have heard that as mining is not yet legalized i may lead to legal issues if i withdraw higher amount of money.
Is that right or it’s only rubbish ? and one can withdraw how much he wants ?
You can withdraw as much as you want, this is not illegal at all, not yet integrated but not illegal..
Not sure if I can publish here, but for anyone experiencing power blackouts with internet rebooting later than your PC I’ve made a python script to load your miner.bat file only after the Internet is up and running (You need Python installed to work). I published it on github, find it here (search pythonPingStarter on github): https://github.com/ukw/pythonPingStarter
Hi Ciprian. I’m a newbie when it comes to minning.
Did you use 6 GPUs in your tests?
Can you use only 1 GTX 1070ti and still have profit?
Thanks.
Hi, in this test i used only one card.
Hey so I purchased everything on this list and am using the GIGABYTE GA-H110-D3A mobo and am having one issue. I cannot seem to get the 6th gpu to work. I am getting a code 12 error in device manager (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12). I tried freeing up resources and disabled audio drivers and a few other things. I also uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers in efforts to fix the problem. I swapped around the cards to see if it was a card issue but it doesn’t seem to persist. What steps can I take to fix this? Thanks for the help in advance!
I fixed it this way:
– Change “Max Link Speed” setting from “Auto” to “Gen2”(M.I.T / Miscellaneous Settings / Max Link Speed)
– Change “Initial Display Output” setting from “PCIe 1 Slot” to “IGFX” (Peripherals)
– Change “Above 4G Decoding” setting from “Disabled” to “Enabled” (Peripherals) (if needed)
– Change “Internal Graphics” setting from “Auto” to “Enabled”(Chipset)
If settings above doesn’t work use UEFI mode to install your OS
Thank you so much! You’re literally the best! I️ plan on purchasing more from your store down the line.
Awesome 🙂 happy mining!
I am a bit disappointed as well. Not nearly as good MH/s per watt as the 1070.
I am surprised that you are worried about cooling. My 1070 cards that I am using at the moment despite running at 100% for days run at about 60 degrees with fan speeds ranging from about 30% to 60%.
They are really not that noisy – although that’s not much of a concern as they are all stashed in the spare room!
1070 ti is not a good ETH mining card – realistically, with AMD pricing getting back down semi-close to pre-shortage pricing, nobody should be wasting their time mining ETH on NVidia cards anyway.
On the ZEC side, the 1070 ti properly set up is THE EFFICIENCY KING at this time, and it’s only competition even at the SYSTEM level is the 1080 ti.
All of my testing to date has been on the EVGA SC model of the 1070 ti.
104 watts, +200 core / +700 memory seems to be the best point for max efficiency, though there is a few watts of wiggle room on the TDP setting before efficiency starts noticeably dropping – 130 watts it is DEFINITELY dropping quite a bit.
6 cards should run on a single 850 at 100 watts TDP, for ballpark 440 sol/s per card. 5 cards run COMFORTABLY on a single 850 at 106 watts TDP for 455-460 sol/s per card, using EWBF 0.3.4b, and you could probably push that 5 card rig up to 110-115 watt ballpark per card with a very small drop in efficiency for more hashrate.
Cards run quite cool in that TDP range – 60% fan keeps them under 60C even in a very warm (85 F) mining room, as long as you have a couple inches of open space between each card.
The recommended Wonooni risers are JUNK – had 6 FOR 6 BAD out of the one batch of them I made the mistake of trying. They didn’t even SOLDER the bloody Molex connector at all (it’s a press-fit thing but it almost FALLS OUT when it’s not soldered) and the soldering job in general is some of the worst garbage I have ever seen.
The riser DESIGN is fine – COBOC used the same design on THEIR risers, which work well – it’s just very poorly MANUFACTURED by Wonoovi.
In the article about 1070 you claimed 1070 to reach 279.860 MH/s on LBRY mining.
1070 ti gives only 36 Mh/s?
Does it so bad in lbry for real?
Checked again and it is 335 Mh/s 🙂 check the images from nicehash benchmarks.
Thanks. I just realized that hashrates in dual mining mode and in single mining are diffrent)
Just ordered my self 2 1070 TI (aprox 80$ drop on Discount Price over the cyber Weekend). Looking Forward on the comparance with my gtx 1070 armor I already have. The 1080 still is way to pricy atm
I have 3 1080 to sell for cheap price if you’re interested.
You can PM me : [email protected]
Well tried some tweeks and turning heads. I se not much difference of the MSi 1070Ti Gaming and the MSI 1070 Armor. Major differenc is the Watt usage the 1070Ti clearly uses more. So I will stick with the 1070 Armor for now. and is about 30 bucks cheaper compared to the 1070 Ti.
Is it normal to have 2 gpus running slower the the rest, I have 3 on 1 PC, 1 is running 143f and the other are running 134f. clocks are 100/450 75% and mining keeps going up and down? using GtX 1070 G1’s
Yes is totally fine, depends the position and how the airflow is blocked.. send me a picture of it

That’s the reason why 🙂 turn 100% for fans.. fans can be replaced easily of they broke,, gpus can’t..
got it…here is the latest with 5 GTX 1070 G1’s and a GTX 1070 TI…All GIGABYTE’S

That’s a awesome layout. I myself just started to mine myself. For Christmas I built a nice computer with a 1050ti ssc one. I started to read more about mining now I’m getting a 1070ti on Friday. I’m really want to build a 3 rig machine but the Nvidia cards are very expensive. I might just go with the Rx560 ones since they are coming down on price. Don’t want to burn out my new pc I built so I might add them to a older machine I have sitting there.
It’s been running about a month now, making from $20-$30 a day. I’m happy with it…
Hello Nick,
Are you still getting this $20-30 a day? Is this with 5 EVGA GTX 1070 TI? Appreciate your help!
I’m using 5 1070 G1”s and 1 1070 TI, 6 GPU’S. And yes still the same amount.
Thank you Nick for your quick response. One more question…There are so many brands of 1070s in market. Which one you are using?
Thanks,
All Gigabyte GPU’S
Thank you Nick…but they are very expensive or out of stock in most places currently…:(.
Yes they are very hard to find… good luck.
what would you recommend for same price,
this Asus 1070ti from this review or EVGA 1070 SC?
Thank you Ciprian for all the valuable information you provide in your website.
I just hooked 2 asus 1070 ti and overclocked like your recommendation. On ETC only I’m getting now between 31.4-31.8 mh/s.
The issue is when I tried to start dual mining with SIAcoin the miner is showing an error like this: “…an illegal instruction was encountered” and the SIAcoin is not being mind. I read a bit about this and saw it might be related to the “p state”…but I’m not sure how to fix that.
If you can help in any way it would be much appreciated.
Hi, you should mine different algorithm, is a waste of money to mine with 1070s on Ethash algorithm.. :/ You should have got RX 580 8GB instead, those perform much better on dual mining.
Yes, I know I’m actually just play around waiting on parts to arrive 🙂 so I just started with ETC because I had a wallet setup already and to get the feel of mining.
For future reference, what algorithm would you suggest for this card? Just use whattomine.com and see what is most profitable?
Hello, Ciprian.
Is one 1200watt psu enough to power 6x 1070ti?
Umm.. should be ok, but make sure those start undervolted.
Hello everyone, great community we have here. Last month i bought 2 MSI GTX 1070ti Gaming 5 and 3 Gigabyte GTX 1070 OC. Currently mining with Nicehash (selling hashpower) without any problem .
I have a few things to say. First about the power draw and secondly on the hashrate.
Initially i tune down the power draw to 70% for both card and then i realized that 1070ti draw less power than 1070 while they are mining same algorithm with same intensity. Around 85% of 1070.
The hashrates for all the algorithm that i benchmark using Nicehash showed that 1070ti constantly beat 1070 hashrate by 12%. Now i wanted to buy more GTX 1070ti for my rig. But i am not sure if the hashrate for GTX 1070ti is due to my specific model i bought (MSI Gaming 5) or something else. I would be glad if anyone can confirm that is not the issue.
Cheers.
Hi Ciprian. A 1000-1050W Gold PSU would be enough for 6 x 1070 Ti, or should I go for at least 1200W to be sure? Thank you!
Salut Catalin, teoretic si din testele mele reiese ca da, dar trebuie facut acel undevolt neaparat.
Ok. Multumesc pentru raspuns. Si pana la urma merita 1070 Ti fata de 1070? Adica daca am posibilitatea sa iau 1070 mai ieftin decat 1070 Ti, pe care sa le aleg? Mersi!
Mergi pe ce este mai iefint, Ti nu face diferenta
I need help and advise here, not sure is my card faulty?
My zotac GTX1070TI when running at default setting 100% power the base clock hits around 1790mhz to 1860mhz automatic. And when running at 70% power, ti runs between 1607mhz to 1683mhz.
Is the card faulty? the factory default base clock(1607mhz-1683mhz) is not same as my card when mining. Please help.

How can you say 130w is a high power consumption??? Also, I can get easily 475 sol/s on 110w with 60 power % 100 core 600 mem
Hi Ciprian,
I am plannig to build a rig with 6 x Zotac 1070 8GB Amp Extreme. On the website of the manufacturer it says card consumes 250W so my question is should i go with 2 x EVGA G2 750W or 2 x EVGA G2 850W or maybe even 2 x EVGA G2 1000W.
Also i dont see you undervolt GTX like AMD. Why is that and what vaules should i use for this card?
Thank
Hi, the GPUs will be undervolted and the max power consumption will be around 150w so 2x 750w PSUs will be enough 🙂
Thanks very much. Can you tell me what undervolt should i use and what clocks?
What will the hash rate be with 2x 1070?
For what algorithm ?
I don’t know yet 🙂 still a noob. Want to mine etherium or elektroneum.

This card is dog shit for mining. Under performing a bios modded 4g 570. Let the gamers have this one so they will stop bitching about not being able to find a gpu
Duuuuuuude you got to check the hash rate now, I’m using EWBF for ZCash since a little bit more than a month and I’m getting between 495-505 Sol/s…. Setting the card with MSI Afterburner into +250mhz [core] and [+550mhz memory] and 70%power…completely stable, although not completely sure also using a CORSAIR 850w Platinum (I’m aiming for the best for the stabilizing).
OH Btw I’m consuming about 128w
Plz share your ‘adult’ thoughts about this.
But 250 core is a bit high, is this the only card on the system ?
My mistake the core setting is +225mhz, and good point I have this gigabyte 1070ti and an EVGA 970 FTW. Is it normal that one of those goes kinda elevated in the temperature? (not so much though)
