Topic: How will this change the world of mining?? GTX 1080 / 1070 - page 42. (Read 134117 times)

Will they be marked at 50% more price. I read that the price will be around $379. That is similar to 970.

Keep.

 As far as I know, there is no hard deadline for the transition away from PoW. Also takes into account any popups from driver issues that might need to be solved.

this does not mean that they will be not faster by 50% in other algo, there is not only ethereum out there

edit, some research lead to a 42% on the access memory, so this is more than 30MH/s versus a 970(22MH/s) with a consumption of 120w versus 160w

so 40% increase in hash and 25% decrese in consumption, very good for me, they will be surely worth 50% more the price

If the memory access speed is not 50% faster, the Ethereum mining will not be 50% faster. I think it is just the power efficiency. We will find out next month.

it's not about power efficient only, they are also much faster up to 50%

When those new graphics comes out, the price will be higher than the MRSP. So you still have time to sell your old cards.

They will be too expensive for ETH mining. Not be worth the power efficiency in the end.

I would keep mining untill the new cards are released

my dilemma now, is do i need to sell my rig now and wait for the new gpu and so no mining for two month, until new ccminer come out, or better to keep mining until they come out, but risking to losing some % on my gpu sales?

My current planning is to build a new GTX970 rig (triple or quad, not sure yet, finding a GOOD triple-card motherboard is proving impossible as NOBODY wants to put slots in SANE places to allow for all 3 cards to get cooling air).

 I'll try it on Ethereum just to see, but it's not INTENDED to be an Ethereum miner except perhaps as a short-term "make back a little of the cost to build it" idea before I put it into it's REAL intended usage (similar to my existing triple GTX950 and double GTX960 rigs, but they'll have a couple months longer of mining before I switch them).


What I'm going to be REAL curious to see is what AMD comes up with on their top-end ZEN APUs for an on-chip GPU. Given the amount of shrink 14nm FinFet allows over their existing process, I would be supprised at less than 1024 stream units, and wouldn't be shocked at 1500ish...

 ... DESPITE announced plans to make the first Zen APUs at least octocore.


 With the clock rate increases the new process allows, I expect AMD to at least match NVidia's 30-40% clock rate jump on their next-gen gear - GPUs as well as CPUs/APUs - pretty much across the board, even on the first gen at the new node.



 Picture this for AMD's next "flagship" product. 6144 Stream units. Base clock around 1400 Mhz, boost more like 1600. Minor increases in IPU efficiency from already-announced "tweeks" to the architecture adding another 5-10% performance. TDP 20-40% lower than a Nano.

 Then they build the "dual" version, having to downclock 5% or so to avoid overheating.

 Remember, you read it here first!



 Yes, 2016 and 2017 look to be VERY interesting times for new hardware in the cryptocoin mining arena.

AMD Polaris 10 or the 480 just has 256 bit memory bus. So it might not be faster than 390 in the Etheruem mining.

This will change mining:

http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-r9-480-perf-is-close-to-r9-390x.html

If the memory bandwidth is similar or a bit faster, it might do 30 MH/s at 120W, that is better than 390.

I'm curious how the 1070 will compare to the nanos.

i'm expecting more toward 30, but for the 1070, not for the 1080


current amd will not have the same power consumption as the new nvidia, there is no way to do so, the new 1070 will consume half of one 970, 1080 as a target of 180w, so one 1070, should be 120 in target or less

so no matter how much you undervolt, you will not be able tor each that value

So that is slowly than the R9 390. R9 390 can run 27 MH/s if it is undervolt and underclock with similar power consumption.

DDR ram is not good in random access..But the mem clock is higher. I expect etherum to run around 25-30MHASH.

on 970 it was 192+64, which is not the same thing as having a fully 256, so yes there is an increase

The memory bandwidth does not increase, it is still 256bit for 1070. So even if the Core clock increase, it might not be faster.

Completely and utterly irrelevant to bitcoin mining, so no. Moving thread to where it might be relevant.
