1080ti vs 2080 (for crunching)?
It looks like the prices are similar. But the specs on the 1080ti are better across the board, except power. 250 vs 215. Some of the specs are significantly better for the 1080ti. So, what to buy for crunching? I hear there is a bunch of special features in the 2080 that gaming may eventually take advantage of. But I am guessing no help for crunching performance.

I think the 2000 series is way overpriced for the results I've seen. I'd get a 1080 Ti

Actually, it is a good way of advertising a new product. Just add a digit of a thousand to the last version and that will make everybody think that your 1080 is way too old and needs to be upgraded. It would be accepted as dearer than the 1080 after all it is a new GPU that since you brought the 1080 there has been a thousand new versions since. Have you been asleep?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Favorite/best brand? I am looking for reliability, not going to OC, and quieter is always appreciated. I notice they come in the original single fan reference design, as well as two and three fan configurations. I would guess that more fans allow them to run lower RPM compared to a single. But then you have 3x the fans making noise. :confused:
FWIW, the MSI Duke seems to be plentiful and cheap on eBay. Fairly cheap new too. Thoughts on this card?

I'm running MSI with 2 fans and I'm very pleased with them.

1) you need to determine the specific consumption, let’s say kWh/production. kWh from spot reading or smart meter
2) kWh measured for both cases and for the same work type for a given period
3) electricity rates
4) initial costs (investment)
5) calculate simple payback (return of investment)
Then you can compare both more realistically.
