....as my new rx580 are coming...if it gets bad is it a good idea to maybe switch to zcash?

The RX 580 will do ~315 H/s on ZEC. The Claymore epoch benchmark figures are just an estimate and largley overstated. In my own test with a five card RX 480/580 8GB and 570 4GB rig. The benchmark at epoch 129 for the five cards was ~143.3 MH/s, at epoch 130 the benchmark was ~142.5 MH/s. The actual current dual mining hash is ~144.1 MH/s dual mining with DCR. Even a 10% drop in the RX cards ETH hash in 6 months can be offset by addding a single $200 RX 570 4 GB card.

Same things happens in Russia, the price of most powerful GPU rise for about 20-30% cause of mining popularity

Think about it this way.

You are better off buying AMD RX right now even with these small hashrate drops than you are buying NVIDIA right now which doesn't have this issue.

Because by the time the hashrate drops 30%, most of us won't be mining anymore.

Its better making $6/day NOW but paying half for a GPU than making a similiar amount but paying double for the NVIDIA GPU.

Because by the time you ROI that NVIDIA we all will be making $0.25/day with our GPUs and the hashrate drop won't mean much.

But the AMD people will come out ahead since the GPU was paid for multiple times and not the NVIDIA people.

Where are you going to get an AMD RX for half the price of an nVidia card? The main vendors (amazon, newegg and bhphoto) are already gouging on the price on 1070's a bit. When the AMD cards hit the "shelves" they are going to be priced substantially higher because these companies know what they are being used for and know that people are going to pay the price to get them.

Bad news indeed.

Lucky I`m running 8X GTX 1070 cards.
But mining ETH will not be profitable much longer I guess.
Maybe switch to other currency.

just switch to nvidia, it's a better deal anyway now, with far better option, not only ETH, you can min e LBRY and equihash algo with better hashrate when ETH will go pos, i wonder if the new vega will be affected too by this one

Only RX cards are affected, not the older ones like 290x. Also Nvidia Pascal seems to be on the safe side...

Is that true? I hope there will not be big change.

Not a good news, this demotivate me which I just bought a rig and spent thousands of dollars in that stuff.

When will this hashrate drop going to happen? This cuts off the profit a lot and makes the ROI to be reached longer than I expected!!!
