Miners is there something gamers don't like about RX vega graphic units? I've sold 50% of all my graphic cards and I've never sell one of my vega 56, the moment I made mention of having Vega they will say no.

Is there any issue affecting Vega gpu when gaming on a PC? Why do gamers hate this graphic cards so much? If this go on I will have to keep mining with the cards until no coin supports the gpu anymore. Or you have another better idea?
This is a very old video card, so gamers know that these video cards have been used in mining in 90% of cases. Same story with RX480 and similar video cards. You can either sell these video cards very cheaply or keep mining, but you need cheap electricity.

I have put up for sale my full gear of Rx 570/580 as they are not relevant anymore for mining and in fact they were not from quite some time but I used them to mine ETC until the merge of ETH that moved to PoS.

I get a lot of phone calls as I have put them up for sale in a local market place here and I am selling them for 60-80 EUR each,of course I tell the persons who call me that are mostly gamers in need of a cheap card that they have been used for mining but not to worry as they still run perfectly fine and I have sold a lot of them so far without problems.I believe the same to be with Vegas but those are somewhat more expensive than the Rx 4/5 series.
60-80 EUR  Cry
This is very cheap, even with delivery from China it will be more expensive. In my country, these video cards cost 70-100 euros. For 100 euros you can sell for a long time, for 70 euros you can sell quickly, but I decided not to sell.

I don't really care if they are cheap,I have milked them from end of 2016 or 2017,don't remember that well so they have been put to good use in these 5-6 years that I put them to mining Ethereum at full speed 100% 24/7/365 and they have given me a nice reward in the year of 2021 when I decided to cash out the profit from mining made by such cards in 2018 and 2019 when no one was mining except a very few persons,me being one of them despite at a loss.

So whatever money I get from these cards is just 100% net profit for me that is why they are going this cheap.
If the video card has paid for itself several dozen times, then it must be saved for your children Smiley
I have the same question to sell or not. If mining starts to be profitable, then these video cards will pay off a few more times or they can be sold for more. But I don't want to sell for 60 euros.
