@shipbldr2000 Absolutely not. I think you should go take that 1080 back and get a new one. Sounds like something is wrong with it, or you don't have the drivers or something.
nvidia experience will give you the correct drives

What I'm trying to say is that, you should figure out what's wrong with the 1080. Given the price on those things, and the fact that it isn't performing like it should. You should be getting around 60k-100k nonces with that, at the very VERY least
