1080/1080 Ti mining tablet

Tablet

NVIDIA graphics cards were not originally designed for cryptographic tasks. They can perform parallel computations, but the factory settings limit the maximum performance. This greatly affects the profitability of token mining. For some GTX series graphics cards, developers came up with a pill for mining on 1080 – the OhGodAnETHlargementPill program that increases hash rate. It changes the memory timings of the video cards, which increases the performance a bit.

What is a pill for mining on 1080/1080 Ti

OhGodAnETHlargementPill is a program that increases the efficiency of cryptocurrency mining on 3 algorithms, including Dagger Hashimoto. It is a simple application with no GUI that runs in the background. It is available for free and increases profitability without increasing power consumption.

The effect of the pill is reversible. OhGodAnETHlargementPill increases the performance of NVIDIA GTX graphics cards only when it is running. It is recommended to set up an autoloader when Windows is turned on.

After the tablet appeared, miners tested the results from its use. The data is collected in the table.

This is a good result, provided that the pill does not accelerate the wear and tear of video cards and does not have a permanent effect. If the miner has NVIDIA GTX 1080, it is recommended to install the program to increase the hash rate.

Working principle

The OhGodAnETHlargementPill tablet is created for graphics cards with GDDR5X memory. It works at high frequencies, which increases performance when running programs. However, GDDR5X and GDDR5 show the same hash rate in mining because the timings have increased along with the change of frequencies.

OhGodAnETHlargementPill performs fine-tuning of GPU operation and increases performance. The pill lowers the timings, so the computing speed increases.

The results of installing OhGodAnETHlargementPill depend on the algorithm. For example, when mining Ethereum in 2021, the performance of NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti increased from 32 to 55 MH/s.

How to effectively apply the pill for mining

The program works automatically. The miner only has to download the software and turn it on. When the console appears on the screen, the software is running and has already finished setting timings. Making a pill for mining on 1080 Ti more efficiently will not work. The creator of the application did not provide for additional settings.

The software works best with cryptocurrencies on the Ethash algorithm. It increases the hash rate by 10-19 MH/s. With other coins, the program is less effective. In the case of Ubqhash, the increase rarely exceeds 2%. It is recommended to install it specifically for mining on the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm.

It is not safe to use any applications that increase hash rate. The load on the GPU grows, so the chips heat up more. Overclocking accelerates wear and tear and creates the risk of melting metal elements.

To prevent this, it is recommended to:

  • Overclock only graphics cards with sensors monitoring the temperature of the power supply keys. They distribute the incoming energy to the microprocessors. For example, EVGA graphics cards have hardware capabilities for temperature monitoring.
  • Put in additional fans. Built-in coolers rarely cope with the load during mining. If there is no money to improve the farm, you can move it to a balcony, garage or other cold room.
  • Use the TechPowerUp utility. It collects information about the temperature of the cards and will help you stop token mining before the equipment fails.

Normal heat for a GPU is 70-80°C. If the temperature reaches 85°C, you should reduce the Power Limit by 5-10%. This is enough to reduce heating by 6°C.

Download OhGodAnETHlargementPill

The program can be downloaded on the official website. By clicking on the button, the miner will download an archive. From it, you need to extract all the files.

For what video cards works

The software is designed for GPUs with the GDDR5X memory type. It does not interact with other VRAM variants. It is worth downloading only if your farm runs on NVIDIA GTX 1080, 1080 Ti, Titan X and Titan XP.

Installation Instructions

The user needs to download the tablet for mining on 1080. It will take no more than 2 minutes to launch and configure the software. The developers have made the tool as simple and automated as possible. Before installing the application, it is recommended to reset the overclocking settings of the cards and download software for temperature tracking.

In Windows

After downloading the software, you need to click on the shortcut and unzip the files. Then it will remain to launch the application and wait for the console to appear on the screen. The GeForce 1080 cards are configured automatically. You can not turn off the software, otherwise the timings will return to the original ones.

Sometimes the software does not work. Then you need to create a shortcut and write -revA to the path in the “Object” field in the settings.

Shortcut properties

In Rave OS.

To use the tool on this system, you need to install version 1.0.24. It already has nv-pill built in to increase the hash rate of GeForce cards with GDDR5X memory. Instructions:

  1. Go to the website and open the Workers tab.
  2. Click on Edit worker.
  3. In the Settings section enable NV-pill.
  4. Save changes.

If there is no setting, a new system has been installed. It is necessary to return the old version.

How to set it to autoload

In order not to start the program manually, you need to configure automatic inclusion:

  1. Create a file with a .bat extension in the directory with the software.
  2. Inside, specify the name of the application.
  3. Create a shortcut of the bat file on the Windows desktop.
  4. Add it to the autoload folder and restart the farm.

Setting up mining with the help of a tablet

Before you run the application, it is worth resetting the overclocking parameters in BIOS and special programs (for example, MSI AfterBurner). OhGodAnETHlargementPill also affects the operation of memory and the temperature mode of the video card, because of which hardware malfunctions can occur. Next steps:

  1. Click on the executable file to launch the program.
  2. Wait for the tool to turn on.
  3. Start the miner.

It is not necessary to specially customize the tablet. If the farm works properly, then you can slightly increase the overclocking with the help of third-party software. Experimentally, miners have found optimal configurations for 2 popular video cards.

Possible problems

Users on forums note the simplicity and efficiency of the application. They rarely encounter program failures if the temperature mode is observed. In some cases, launching the pill leads to artifacts on the screen. This does not affect token mining, but makes it difficult to manage the farm.

If the interference on the monitor interferes a lot, you can set up remote access or connect a separate card to the display. In the first case, users install AnyDesk for Windows or special OS (RaveOS, HiveOS).

A critical problem for miners has become overheating. The temperature grows faster and can reach 90-95°C. Video cards are not able to work under such conditions for a long time. Therefore, you need to take measures to control heating (for example, reduce Power Limit). On the Zotac GeForce 1080, reducing PL by 10 resulted in a 6°C drop in temperature.

In rare cases, the program does not work. This happens with video cards that have GDDR5 memory. The utility is designed for GDDR5X only. If the type of VRAM is unknown, it is better to check it through the GPU-Z application.

Frequently Asked Questions

❌ Is it worth it to mine GeForce GTX 1080 in 2023?

No, as their daily profit rarely exceeds $0.3. At a kW price of $0.1, they are operating at a minus.

💡 How to overclock a card safely?

To avoid accidentally damaging the chips, you should increase the memory frequency by no more than 50 MHz at a time. At the same time, you should check the hash rate after each action to find the peak values for stable mining.

⏰ What are timings?

They are the delays between sending a memory bus command and its execution. They determine the speed at which data moves within the VRAM.

❓ How long does an overclocked GPU run?

If the user regularly clears the coolers of dust and monitors the temperature, the graphics gas pedal will last up to 4-5 years.

📍 Can I play games on my PC while mining?

No, because GPUs are under a lot of strain while tokens are being mined. If you turn on gaming, the hashrate will drop by 40-60%.
