1080ti having speeds of a 1080.
#1
Hi, so I'm wondering whether anyone knows why 1 of my 1080 Ti's is performing at simillar speeds to my 1080.

Current rig:
1 x 1080
2 x 1080ti

All on risers powered by PCI (they're all at Bus: 1) - which I heard barely impacts hashcat speed.
32GB RAM, no CPU bottleneck etc.

Example (running KeePass with -O -w4)

Speed.#1.........:    11836 H/s (393.88ms) @ Accel:64 Loops:512 Thr:1024 Vec:1
Speed.#2.........:    9257 H/s (254.27ms) @ Accel:64 Loops:256 Thr:1024 Vec:1
Speed.#3.........:    8528 H/s (393.15ms) @ Accel:64 Loops:512 Thr:1024 Vec:1

Hardware.Mon.#1..: Temp: 68c Fan: 46% Util:100% Core:1898MHz Mem:5005MHz Bus:1
Hardware.Mon.#2..: Temp: 65c Fan: 37% Util:100% Core:1898MHz Mem:5005MHz Bus:1
Hardware.Mon.#3..: Temp: 65c Fan: 47% Util:100% Core:1898MHz Mem:4513MHz Bus:1


As seen, the GPU falling below standards isHardware.Mon.#2
I check in NVIDIA-SMI and it seems to be receiving:

|  2  GeForce GTX 108... WDDM  | 00000000:06:00.0  On |                  N/A |
| 38%  65C    P2  149W / 250W |  2131MiB / 11264MiB |    100%      Default |
|                              |                      |                  N/A |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+


Whereas the 1080ti which is working great with normal speeds is receiving:
|  1  GeForce GTX 108... WDDM  | 00000000:05:00.0 Off |                  N/A |
| 47%  68C    P2  193W / 250W |  1718MiB / 11264MiB |    100%      Default |
|                              |                      |                  N/A |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+


Is the GPU wattage draw causing the low speeds as there's for some reason a 44watt reduction?

It's also worth noting:
Sometimes when trying other hash types, the "GPU falling below standards" initially starts for the first couple minutes performing normally, to near idential speeds as my good 1080 ti. But then there's a low speed drop off.
I've also tried various Hashcat versions and that didn't fix any problems.

And finally to add;
D:\hashcat>hashcat64.exe -m 0 -O -w 4 -b
hashcat (v6.0.0) starting in benchmark mode...

Any help/advice/tips is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried swapping risers of the 1080 Ti's?

Two words: thermal throttling. Where is that second 1080ti? Between the other 2 cards?

The temps are less than 70c though? And yeah it's between the 2 other cards.

Yep don't think it's a riser issue.

Temps are probably less than 70°C because of thermal throttling. If you can try to place the card somewhere else that between those other two cards for a test.

I have switched the riser, I have placed the card on it's own on a 1200w Corsair Platinum PSU.

I have placed the card furthest away possible from the 2 other cards on my rig, and the issue remains.

I am truly, at a loss of ideas..

why don't you run it when it's the only one connected?

Because I want to run a multiple GPU rig.

That is very nice, but I proposed to run it solo for a test.
