Few days ago I have tested and reviewed in-depth the RTX 2080 card. The results ended up being pretty promising thanks to the its excelent MHs/W ratio. Today, I would like to share with you my findings regarding the RTX 2080Ti – will it be as good as the 2080?

I would like to give a big shout out to the guys from Gigabyte for sending me an RTX 2080 Ti for testing purposes. Apparently, card manufacturers like the idea of miners buying their cards, which is indeed good for the mining community. This might also mean that Nvidia will probably release mining-oriented drivers and cards in the near future.

RTX 2080Ti vs RTX 2080

Compared to the 2080, the 2080Ti has got 40% wider memory bus, 3GB more VRAM, 47% more CUDA cores and slightly lower core clocks. On paper, the 2080 Ti is about 50% more powerful than the 2080, which makes sense considering the price is 50% higher too. Raw numbers do not always affect the mining performance as expected, so we will compare benchmarks in a bit.

The 2080 Ti has got 30% higher power consumption than the 2080, though it also features higher power limit. My RTX 2080Ti allows me to drag the power limit down to 60% before it starts losing hashrate. The 2080 can work without any hashrate loses even when power limit is at 47%.

RTX 2080 Ti Mining Hashrate

As expected, on factory clocks the 2080Ti features 42% higher Ethereum hashrate than the 2080 (on factory clocks too). The same difference applies to other algos. After some undervolting and overclocking, the 2080Ti generates 36% higher Ethereum hashrate than the 2080.

Dual mining offers the same results: With tweaked clocks and voltages, the 2080Ti features 37% higher hashrate on both coins than the 2080 with the relative increase in power consumption. Here are all the other benchmarks:

In Conclusion

While the 2080 Ti is a decent miner, the 2080 offers slightly more value for the money. The 2080Ti has got more cores and memory, though as for today, it does not seem to be able use all of its potential for mining. Maybe Nvidia will release some optimized drivers in the near future that will allow the 2080Ti to mine better. I am not discarding this option because again, apparently card manufacturers seem to like the idea of the mining community buying their cards.

No, this is not clickbait. Yes, I am aware that there seems to be a consensus that the new RTX 2080 cards are not great for mining – many users have made their mining benchmarks public and the results were pretty underwhelming. There is a catch, though.

Some days ago, I have finally received my Gigabyte RTX 2080 Windforce OC and I have done my own tests. My results were way better, which is why I am writing this article. Maybe I was lucky enough to find the sweet spot for undervolting and OC – most of the existing reviews are based on stock voltage and clock settings, and hence do not show the full mining potential of the card.

Whatever is the case, I am impressed by the mining performance of the new RTX 2080. In this article, you will see my benchmarks, as well as the settings I am using.

The RTX 2080 is the latest addition by Nvidia and it features better performance than the 1080Ti, as well as hardware support for Ray Tracing. This allows the RTX2080 to perform great both at gaming and mining.

The Gigabyte version of the card comes with the core overclocked from factory, three fans and a decent heatsink. Compared to an average 1080Ti, the Gigabyte RTX 2080 Windforce costs ~90 dollars more.

On paper, the RTX 2080 not only loses to the GTX 1080Ti in four of the six listed categories, it also loses to the GTX 1080 when it comes to price/features ratio. The only innovations seem to be the new GDDR6 memory and higher boost clocks. Eventually though, this does not prevent the RTX 2080 from being a decent miner. Let me show you the benchmarks:

Gigabyte RTX 2080 Windforce OC Mining Benchmarks

The first thing that most reviewers stated is that the RTX 2080 is very power hungry. While this is true for a card with stock settings, I was able to undervolt my RTX 2080 without losing too much hashrate, to a point it now consumes 70% less power than a GTX 1080Ti.

In fact, this makes the RTX 2080 more power efficient than the GTX 1080/ GTX 1080Ti. The RTX 2080 contrasts the most with the GTX 1080Ti by featuring up to 57% more MH/s per Watt.

Below I have listed the card’s benchmarks with different coins and algos, as well as a comparison with two of its predecessors (GTX 1080 and 1080Ti):

In Conclusion

Yeah, crypto mining is going through some pretty dark days and not all of you feel like investing in new mining rigs for now. Those of you who do plan on expanding your farms might find a new friend in RTX 2080 cards. The low power consumption makes up for the extra price in the long run, unless you have free electricity.

Here’s another thing to keep in mind. The gaming community seems a bit unimpressed with the new RTX 20xx. Many gamers bought the RTX 2080/2080Ti in hopes to enjoy the new Ray Tracing technology but guess what: as for today, there is no game that would support Ray Tracing. This is one of the reasons why there seems to be little demand for RTX 20xx cards for now.

If you want to add some of those to your rig, this might be the right time to stock up on them, before gaming companies start to implement the new technology in their games.

I would also keep in mind that the driver and miner support for the card is still not optimal. As always, I expect improvements and tweaks in the near future.
