Topic: Will Vega cards (56 and 64) crash in value when Monero goes RandomX?? (Read 168 times)

Nope, most probably will just switch to another coin than sell their gear cheap.

According to Nicehash, current profitability for Vega 64 is 0.70 USD/Day with 10c/Kw on electricity. With only 40% used on CryptoNote algo.

Yeah, it's back to the future for sure, going full circle. Would be fun if the same thing would happen to some of the other of the large cap minable coins.

Ooo good question, i haven't thought about it yet, as i don't own a bunch of Vegas personally, it could tho, the market for those cards is almost solely dependent on XMR mining : /   
I feel for those boys, but i think they should be ROI by now, so just look forward to RandomX, its bringing back CPU mining man!
Theres other algos these coins are dece on i think anyways? lyrarev3,MTP maybe?

They are going to change the algo to RandomX, and whatever hashrate you have at the moment will be reduced by a lot to make Monero mining more cpu friendly.

What do you mean by the hashrate will be cut alot? if you are not getting better hashrate when mining monero then change your miner to other mining software, rx vega 56 and 64 are very good for any crytonite algo based coins not just monero alone

What do you guys think?

I heard a lot of miners bought these cards to mine Monero and the hashrates will be cut a lot (to be more cpu friendly) when it changes to RandomX.

Will the Vega cards be dumped at cheap cheap, or will the Monero miners simply change to a different coin?
