I heard some talk about 70-100Mh/s aswell, at about 200watts this seems great. But price needs to be around 600$ or under for it to be efficent.

Yepp, you seem rarely misinformed to be a miner.

I don't care where the mining power comes from, most hash per watt wins for me and if VEGA is it i am going for it.

With crypto specific instructions VEGA is partially built to mine, these instructions is only activated in the drivers that the reviewer have right now and are packaged on cd in the VEGA retail boxes.

With the new extreme cache structure, crypto specific instructions and HBM2 a massive increase is possible.

As for power, there should be no problem undervolting gpu and overclock memory, also bet you that the gpu will draw less power using the crypto specific instructions.

AMD is not stupid, they put the crypto instructions in there to make money, if they can't beat nVidia in the gaming market they are going after the mining market and gaming will come second, as simple as that, it's all about the money.

Tell you what i know, if VEGA performs you will definitely be in line with the rest of us buying VEGA Smiley or else u better you stop mining.

AFAIK the new instruction in VEGA is for SHA256 hashes... not useful for Ethereum hashing anyway.

Would happily be proven wrong though.

Wierd we have not gotten any numbers at all yet. Should be in any moment now.

In Asia they are selling VEGA64 in most shops right now.

Over there they don't care for ndas/sale start dates, if they get stock they sell.

I can't search the chinese search engines so if there is any chinese guys here plz help search web/forums in china for info.

Sure someone must have posted some numbers by now over there.

Yeah, but are they REALLY Vegas? There is an excellent chance that they are fakes.

I have 3 1080 tis coming

613 for 1
630 for 1
696 for 1

Fuck the vega

Soon Vega is BEST - when get new drivers
remember

meh, this has been said before, who wants to buy something on a promise of future performance? Those people should go back to ICOS Cheesy
i, as well, will continue to buy 1080ti, as they perform NOW.
You can wait your months for vega to be better sure, but ill have volta by xmas or soon after so...  you will still be waiting for your promise i see Cheesy
NOW , if the bottom tier was 299 USD, they might have something, but for 399 USD and like 300+ watts? pfffft, no amount of undervolt will matter :/
IN fact i may just buy a few 580 8GB when vega drops, for similar ETH performance at 1/2 the price Cheesy

Easy, dont be so nervous, in two days it will be much clearer. But dont expect big jumps in all conis.
Eth and maybe few memory hard coins will be good boost, but on other gpu friendly look like nvidia will
stay as king. And if vega realy have big consumption memory coins will be only way to go...

I work in a developing country and the prices are insane for a 1080ti, the lowest price is 875.  Undecided  The locals are buying these cards with all their savings and even taking out loans on their FUTURE salary for 1 year and more. It is free money to them. Markets have a way of hurting the most people at the worst possible time so a market correction should be on the way sooner than one thinks.


875 is a lot compared to 650 or even 700.

Serously WTF. card isnt even out yet. There is no way he can have that

The cards are in reviewers hands already, most likely one reviewer has tried nicehash with it.

I'm debating whether I should get 16x FE's at 625 e.a. used or fewer new cards with better cooling design... I like the direction this thread is going Smiley

While waiting for 100,500 MH/s Vega to surface, Gigabyte 1070 WF2OC is back in stock at $399.99 at your favorite online egg retailer. Limit 1 is still there though... 1080ti is $699.

Fake


Serously WTF. card isnt even out yet. There is no way he can have that

the press allready have the card -_-

i can post screenshot monday at the end of nda...





So Vega isn't all they said it would be? Does anyone believe it will be worth trying to get their hands on a few. I was going to try but with the price hike and all preorders already sold out, I'm not so sure. Any advice?


it won't matter "Does anyone believe it will be worth trying to get their hands on a few." they will buy them any way just because it's the latest and greatest . and in some cases they will try to play it down and say they won't buy any and then buy a few .I plan to buy 4 over time .... and won't lie about it ... and yea because it's there and i have the Cash and can .

Are the Vega's finally releaseing for sure this Monday or Tuesday or is that another Rumor ? .

I have 500 bucks in BTC ETH and LTC waiting to be cashed for one to PayPal if so.. if not I'll save even more . to me i really don't care what test card or review cards they have till i can buy one .Then I'll start looking at reviews in more detail.
