price is bad for those at launch, but if you wait two month they would be good and cheap, waiting for sub $400 or 350 at least, not selling my 970 until then

Indeed this is a nice surprise.
Response from AMD (Vega) prolly in 2017. Nvidia may be best for mining for the rest of this year. Expensive though.

Cant wait to see what Genoil will get out of this chip Wink

hey wasn't it like.. nvidia cards gave a very low hashing power as compared the value equivalents of AMD cards. why would this be any different.

someone care to explain some technicality of this please?

Pascal GP100 has 2MB page size support (http://hothardware.com/reviews/nvidia-pascal-gpu-architecture-preview-inside-the-gp100?page=2). If that made it to GP104 (and i don't see why not), we can expect a major performance increase on ethash and other memory-hard algo's. The only wait is for OS-level and/or CUDA support.

I think I can get my 980ti to mine @ 1GHASH as well. But a waste of time.
They tested the opencl bitcoinminer, wich is slower than ccminer.
You can get the performance of the 1080 for free if you just know wich software to run.

Don't know how this will affect altcoins, specifically ETH mining but Videocardz has a post up about 1080 specs and it breaks down Bitcoin mining vs 980TI and R9 Fury X.

1080 - 1056.438 mHash
980ti - 769.191 mHash
R9 Fury X - 857.575 mHash

If that scales, in theory the 1070 for $380 might beat the R9 Fury X in the above instance.



That is for "bitcoin" mining which does not need much memory access. The Ethereum needs a lot of memory access.

Huh?
i've read that because of the memory bus of these gpu, they will not be good for etheruem, is this true? would be a major let down for me
Not because of the bus - there is still hope for much improvement if what i've heard is true - it might be 20mhs on 120w on 1070 but as for now it seems very dull
As for amd - I think we will see same 20mhs at 150w with polaris

Nah i don't think so. My nano's use 75w for 22Mh/s. So i doubt polaris will be the same Smiley

Huh?
Seems that the 1080 is performing very well for "Bitcoin" mining.

I'm curious to see what the effect is on other algo's....

Reference:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1600173/compubench-gtx-1080-and-gtx-980ti-compute-performance


so 15% more than FuryX and 25% more than 980TI  mmmmmm

Not on every test though.

Fury X scores better on the ocean surface test and the video composition test.

I've seen other Fury x tests (oc'ed) where it owns the 1080 in almost every test.
On the other hand, the 1080 oc'ed will likely score better again when oc'ed.

AMD is announcing Polaris at computex . I'm curious Smiley

The world of mining will be changed to.... AMD?  Roll Eyes

 It already is for Ethereum, but Ethereum isn't the only coin to mine with GPUs out there.





not true, 970 are very good for etheruem on par if not better than amd, mine work at 22 mega with 160w only, you can also find them for 230 euro now on the market, probably less if they are not customs like g1 gaming

They will be too expensive for ETH mining. Not be worth the power efficiency in the end.
NVIDIA is talking about a card running at 2000Mhz drawing 180 watts of power @ 67 degrees centigrade.  How does that NOT change the world of (ethereum) mining?

In this forum people care about MHASH and not mhz. Etherum@12MHASH must be a joke right?

You mean 650KH/s  Grin

how so, the guy said 12. mega which is still bad, but 650 is worse than a bad joke...

I don't know who 'this guy' is but I saw it with my own eyes.

vaulter the guy who posted the hashrate with 1080 before everyone else, in this thread

Sorry guys - its bad news so far - I was wrong about 12.5mhs - I just couldnt belive it would be... 1.25mhs - its because tlb - i'll try to find out if they can fix this or not...
It might be the same reason why neoscrypt is 0.450mhs but im not sure...

what % it report in the bus interface, using gpu-z?
50 on current DAG
