So I RMA a 1070 FTW and I see they are shipping me a EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING 08G-P4-6282-KB.  If I was a gamer this would be great, but I am not.  So before I put the 1080 on the open market then purchase a 1070 and have some change, what is this card good at mining in the cryptocurrency world.  FYI- I have three 1070's currently mining Eth.

About One and Half Times or More than your old card.

Well I hope that is the case but my old card was getting 31.567 mhs of Ethereum, and in all my research it seems the 1080 will be geting 23-24 mhs, unless I am missing something.

it depends mostly on the memory chips installed. if i where you i would simply run the nicehash benchmark on it and see for yourself what its "good" at. after you adjust the power target and increase the MHz of course.

1080 is a better card than the 1070 for most GPU mineable algorithms that are NOT ethash - like equihash (ZEC/ZEN/ZCL and such), lbry, Nist5, it's too long a list to continue here.
A 1080 WILL match or exceed the income level mining ZEC that a 1070 can manage mining ETH, abet it will use a bit more power doing so - at current price/difficulty levels.
1070 IS better at Ethereum mining - higher hashrate at a bit lower power used.
 
 

Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.
 I no longer MOO due to abuses by certain "whales" in the Gridcoin community - so I now work the Distributed.net project directly again.

Listen to QuintLeo.  If you have a boner for ETH, than what you want to do is mine Zcash and sell it for ETH, as you will get more ETH by doing that, than you will by mining ETH with the card directly.  Heck, you'll get more ETH with doing that than you would by mining ETH with a 1070.  Currently a 1080 will do 0.0061 ZEC a day which is roughly 0.00017 BTC, which is more than the ETH it would do which is, 0.0018 or 0.00011 BTC.  Conversely a 1070 will do 0.0023 ETH or 0.00014 BTC at current exchange.  You might not think it, but that extra little bit adds up quickly.  
 
As for other more profitable algos that are on the fringe of crypto, the 1080 hands down beats the 1070.

THANKS!!!  My mistake when testing was I was running my 1070's with my optimum Eth config, when I tuned for Zec I did get higher profitability.   3 x GTX 1070s:  Eth = 94.469/mhs 1% dev fee,  ZCash = 1478.34/sols 2% dev fee.  Using two separate calculators I get: CryptoCurrency is Eth = .0006847 eth/day, $3.38 profit/day, and Zec = .017 zec/day, $3.45 profit/day. WhatToMine is Eth = .007238 eth/day, $3.89 profit/day, and 0.000426 btc/day and Zec = .00158636 zec/day, $3.98 profit/day, and 0.000446 btc/day.  So I will keep the 1080 and sell one of my AMD cards.

Tradeoff on ZEC is that to maximize hashrate on a 1070 you have to use a lot more power - ETH max hashrate is easily achieved in the 100-110 watt range (depending on the specific card) while ZEC *most efficient* settings are in that same power range but high hashrate settings require 140+ watts at a cost in efficiency.
 
That tradeoff for ZEC applies to the 1070, 1070ti, 1080, and 1080 ti to my CERTAIN knowledge and experience, and probably to the 1060 3GB and the 1060 6GB (which SHOULD have been named the 1060 ti since it's NOT the same GPU configuration) as well - the 1050 and 1050ti are pretty much equally poor *efficiency* on ZEC no matter what power level you run them at and I've never wasted time on a 1030.

I took the power trade-off under consideration in my costing; however, my rates were based off the numbers provided by the miner.  Since then, I have ran both overnight taken rates from the pools 8 hour average hashrate and Eth is slightly more profitable with the 1070s.
 
Coin  Rate  Pwr  Per  Pool Fee   Est. Rewards   Rev. BTC   Rev.    Cost   Profit
Eth   31.4   110 Day 0.000024  0.002378       0.000145  $1.25  $0.26 $0.98
Zec   457    110 Day 0.0001      0.004895      0.000137  $1.17   $0.26 $0.91
 
However,  I prefer to have the diversification of the two Eth and Zec, and this also allows me to run my AMD cards using Claymore dual for Eth/Verge, with the Nvidia at Zec using BMiner.  Also, for my original question, think I will keep the 1080 and mine ZEC because its much more profitable for that card.

1070s have been more profitable on ETH a lot of the time, though it's usually been fairly close.
The other up side to ETH on the 1070 is that you get max income out of them at a fairly low power level which lets you keep them cool with fairly low fan settings, for improved longevity.
 
I don't think 1080s have ever been more profitable on ETH since ZEC first became mineable and tradeable about a year and a half ago - but there were other coins 1080s were more profitable on back then, and merged folding has generally been more profitable on the 1080 than directly mining with them for the past year and more, *IF* you have a folding-optimized rig to run them in.

Now that vorsholk has stopped his abuse, I'm returning to folding.

Totally not profitable.
I ran my heavily overclocked GTX1080 FTW/i7 6700k fully watercooled system for a couple of days just for fun - used Nicehash.
Nicehash benchmark was high for this hardware.
It made less than a little over $3 in 2 full days.
 
Electricity is $0.15 Kw/h
 
Do the math......

Single card rigs aren't real good for mining, especially high-end gaming rigs with high-wattage CPUs and lots of extra stuff that soaks power.
A multi-card 1080 rig optimized for mining WOULD be profitable - though not hugely so - at your "higher than average" power cost.

I am doing ZEC and I have my 1080 doing 570/sols at Power avg 130w for avg 4.20 Sol/J, which averages a little lower than my 1070s which avg about 4.50 Sol/J.

I have some 1080 cards that can manage the same 4.5 sols/w ballpark almost all of my 1070 ti cards can, but that's down around 104 watts and 460 sols/sec, and most 1080 cards aren't happy at quite that low a power level.
That's with EBWF, I saw a little higher sols/s with DTMF but not enough to make up for the 2% dev fee (EBWF I normally set to 0.1% def fee).
