maybe not leap forward in mining

rdna2 focus on hardware raytracing. 

Might make the current cards cheaper if they are not a big leap for mining.

I really like the 5700s but 90% of my gpus are 3 years old.  It would be nice if performance was twice as fast as the 5700s, but I would want to see how they preform on other algos.  Eth is great but for a large investment I would need more then one algo.
It is funny you say 5700s as you own one correct? After seeing others doing the xt bios modification.
I just noticed even though you are able to bios mod the 5700 cards to xt clocks it does not affect the hashrates at all. Undecided

I have 18 rx 5700s and 5700s XTs and haven't tried bios modding any of them.  I think you can get a little more hash rate but I don't want the possibility of unstable rigs.  i'm getting 51-52 MH/s around 110 -120 watts and they can get 1.1h/s on G31.

I was thinking of how much the overclocked version of the sapphire 5700 xt nitro special edition cards with Core Clock 1840 MHz & Boost Clock 2035 MHz would get on the ethash algorithm the other day.
It depends on the algorithm, ethash benefits from higher memory clock (and especially memory timing) but for equihash you need some core too.
But with the announcement yesterday of the next iteration of navi will have double the performance. But for what? Just for gaming or mining as well?
