Asus TUF 3080 TI fluctuating hashrate

I will take a wild guess and assume you didn’t update the nvidia drivers?
At least that was causing the same issues for me, I have the same card :smiley: Dunno why I thought drivers get updated automatically with hiveos.

Anyway if that’s the case and you’re probably using 460.91.03 so try getting the latest using this guide
https://hiveos.farm/guides-driver_upd/

Good luck!

Ah sorry now i see you wrote you’re using latest drivers. Since you cant see mem temp in hive os maybe you should try using windows if you can to set it up and see the temps? Your card might be thottling due to mem temp, dunno rly.

I got this card few days ago and still tuning it, but with latest drivers I’m using gminer getting LHR detected once and so runing @ 88-89mhs - 72.5% unlock with GMiner atm. Clock 1200/2600 PL:350 even tho the highest it goes is 268W (read somewhere lower pl can cause problems even tho it doesnt really limit the card)

PS: try lowering the memory if you havent already like 2500 2400 2300 to see if it stabilizes

Thanks Zimbaba,

I might have to do that. As even when I manage to navigate around the LHR detection the hash rate slowly drops down to around 68mhs. That being said I haven’t tried setting the power to any higher than 0 so might give that a go

Hey Zimbaba, what driver version are you using?

Hi, thanks for sharing.
Here are mine settings, 5 days by now for kfa2 3080 ti - still looking for something better:

T-rex miner latest,
Nvidia driver 470.82.00 - little fluctuation 88-89 MH/s,
Power 273-288w depends of the part of the day, better efficiency at night (EE Time)
Not flashed VBIOS
Im using Autofan settings - Target Core 50C, Smart mode

Phoenixminer, Lolminer and NBminer - was with lower hashrate.

trying many drivers atm to be honest, it seems it’s not the drivers after all. Its the memory clock which in most miners cant be set to higher than 2300 without getting unlock all the time. Core clock 1200 or 1500 same hash. Using 470.74 for now and testing all miners.

Zimbaba,

Your suggestion worked. I set up Gminer in windows and watched the memory temp. It looks to have been throttling at 100c. Therefore turned up the fan speed and now don’t let the GPU temp go over 55c which keeps the memory temp around 88-94C.

Currently averaging around 88 M/H with the same settings as you. But would like to get something more efficient as sits around 280W

Thanks for your help!

You’re welcome dude, these cards seem to be bleh I dunno :smiley:
I’m using now 470.74 drivers with hiveos and 1200/2100 clock with t-rex since my other cards works better with t-rex and also I wanna go the dual mining way soon, just need to set this card up. Hash seem to jump between 86 and almost 89

I’ve ordered some heatsinks to place on the backplate since my mem hits 90C while core is sitting at 41C :frowning: still have warranty so I won’t open it to replace the pads yet…

If anyone got some other settings for Asus TUF 3080 TI please post here bros, tho I’ve tried 'em all I’m affraid :slight_smile:

also on t-rex github it says:

HiveOS users: many of you complained that your hashrate on LHR cards is fluctuating too much compared to the Windows version. The reason is HiveOS sets "hashrate-avr": 30 for T-Rex causing it to report 30-seconds average hashrate as opposed to 1-minute average (default).
A temporary solution would be to edit your flight sheet and manually add "hashrate-avr": 60 to the “Extra config arguments” field. Otherwise, we’ve been told there will be a HiveOS release that fixes it permanently.

Zimbaba, Sasman,
Checked my gpus settings in Nvidia X Server Settings in HiveOS, min, max and current - for graphic clock and memory transfer rate, looked balanced.
BIOS setting - 3 fans + 2 fans for 2 cards. All 5 in Performans mode (Im using ASRock mb).

Yesterday updated the 3080ti (a non asus tuf) clock settings. Power limit is set to 100%

Gpu fans are more relaxed now, still using auto fan. The suggested settings are considered as not pushed much and not for a curtain brand gpu.
MH 88.4-90.5
Power up to 288W

Thanks for the reply @everon1218 . I’ve tried 2600 mem but cant get passed 76-77mhs…
I’m using 1350 core, 2300 mem, 0 pl atm and I get jumping from 86-90 even tho i set “hashrate-avr”: 60 in miner Extra config arguments.

I’m guessing it’s not good as I’ve seen it at one point going 52mhs??? Don’t know how 74% unlock is still holding :smiley: Really mind boggling card

Edit: oh and trying drivers 470.86 now

Zimbaba,
Thanks for answering. You just wait a little bit of hour.
When you are dropped on hashrate, the the miner auto reconfigures itself.

At first, the miner sets the LHR unlock to 74.5, next to 74, now its to <>73.5.
The miner changes its configs automatically - i.e. auto reconfigures itself alone, Im just waiting and watch for temps.
Im not using “hashrate-avr” option. Still on 470.82 nvidia driver.

The miner is configurated in auto mode by default.
Im on that configuration almost 20 hours.

Thanks for sharing! The model is quite capricious, really :slight_smile: The very finesse

ah I got the case of throttling for sure, atm 1250/2300 with 35C on the GPU @ 100% fan + airflow 2 fans by the window :slight_smile:
which means <90C mem and I keep between 89-90 mhs, rarely dropping to 88mhs. Guess it’s time to change the pads after all. Fcuk warranty

Did you change your thermopads? It is a first step to do after buying any 3080TI’s.

I will send a command tomorrow morning, so you can check if throttling

Use hiveos shell:
nvidia-smi -q | egrep “Thermal Slowdown”

@Grea, thanks. Its much more informative

nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE

Thanks for this very useful!
I’ve noticed that all my card nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE are on P2, should i force P0 in overclock or this doesn’t matter for 30xx cards?

tried p0, with lower clock to adjust for the +400 when using the mode, no changes. This card is not throttling according to nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE but it simply can’t go above 2300 mem clock, and with 1700-2300 mem clock it’s fluctuating mh. I’m out of ideas really :smiley:

Here are the results: (Outside temp ~10C)
Placed the rig next to the opened window ~88 hash (avg I’d say jumps from 86-90) on 1250core / 2300mem (24h doing fine - core temp 34-38)
Closed the window hash immediately dropped to never reaching above 85 hash (core temp 45)

So this card is throttling for sure but nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE doesn’t recognize it doing so.

While setting it up first time and trying out settings in windows I’ve noticed that on 40C core, mem temp was at 90C.

So am i wrong to think so, what’s going on here? I’d appreciate any explanation

New version has the throttling for nVidia and limited memory data for HBM/HBM2 GPUs exposed.

use the tool from Hive Shell:

nvtool --throttle
nvtool --memtemp (only shows temp for HBM based memory, not GDDR6

0.6-212@211124

  • Added display temperature of memory for Nvidia GPUs equipped with HBM/HBM2 memory e.g. A100, CMP 170HX, etc
  • Updated nvtoolto v1.57 (added memory temperature reporting using option --memtempfor GPUs with HBM/HBM2 memory; added option --throttleto show throttle reason which also reported by nvidia-infotool, so you can look all info using it)
