big news everyone ,

nvidia volta appeared (performance seems 4x gtx 1060 in one single card )

maybe we`ll see on christmas the new series cards  ;D

+5100 cores, fuck yeah  :D

any thoughts about building mining rigs nvlink vs pci-e cards ??
i`m curious how it will work ...

btw ... it seems to be very big improvement by nvidia on new cards  8)

You know how much NVLink cards are? way, way more than consumer ones. those are Tesla cards, not intended for consumers.

Volta will drop just after Vega to make sure AMD does not have a huge gain this year is my guess :)
I saw an article that said they are pushing it ahead, "Q3 2017" :)
I will like vega for the cheap cards, hoping 300$ish, but VOLTA is gonna CHANGE MINING IMO
Cant WAIT, might start trying to test business connections to try get some asap when they drop :D

Volta is gonna kill the GPU mining scene.... this is intense.  I know what upgrade I am gonna save for =)

Hopefully they are smart with this GPU and are gonna leave the 1080Ti in its hotspot for a while.... since its gonna handle most gamers happy for a long while.

The price is what concerns me...

Then again;  the drop on all the pascal card prices will be interesting as well;  the fight will be between hashrate density and rig count.

I wonder how much more efficient they are getting at that point;  W/Mh percentage.....   like 20%?  or more realistically 5-10%?

Vega Fp16 vs Volta Tensor

Does any of this had any impact in mining ? prediction ?

To clarify, this "card" is speced for AI and deep learning development.  It's going to be I N S A N E L Y expensive.  This is NOT a consumer grade product, yet.  Volta will be the basis of the next gen Nvidia cards, but the specs on this thing aren't what we'll see in desktop GPUs for some time.

I think so. It is not for us mining.

Its going to be pricey thats for sure, not aimed at miners either

deep learning computing is basically the same at mining;  only the deep learning the algorithms change.

Their features are prime for mining if you ask me.

same was with pascal ... appeared the p100 and a few months later the 1000 series shown , gtx 1070 performance ~ gtx 980ti ,
 gtx 2070 hope will be ~ gtx 1080ti :P

8x Volta mining rig

parts are on the way

i think i`ll  keep my 14 gtx 1070 another 6 months  ;D

The Volta card unveiled is the GPU Compute card as other Tesla's have been.

This is what the 2080 and 2080ti will be eventually based upon, just wait another year for that if you're interested in it.

if you're interested in profits now, I suggest you pick up some 1070s and get to making some $$$

Now as a Gamer, I can't wait for the 2080 series, especially on the mobile side. 4k Ultra @ 60+fps on a laptop on basically every game anyone? Yeah that's coming.

Next spring and a big boost.

This is really good for zec mining.

Here is my logic


https://coinmarketcap.com/

Rank---Coin------Total Cap----------Coin Price------Coins Mined--------  Daily Volume
17.......Zcash.....$124,925,489......$97.78............1,277,606............ $7,113,760


nvidia is the clear winner at mining this coin

The cap is low compared to Nvidia's $52,000,000,000 plus cap.  They can easily prop Zec's price to ensure cards sales.  Basically a rebate or commercial for their cards.

And they  can actually make money  trading the coin.  So  it is potentially cheaper and more effective then any rebate or commercial.

   80mh    is  120,000  1080 ti's or 84,000,000 in sales

we know the network is  a mix  of many different cards, but  the gear growth  potential is huge.

good choice to buy now the 1070 but the 1070 should be 10% faster, it's maybe better to wait if you have already a farm, waiting for volta instead it's stupid there is too much time to wait and profit to lose


nvidia and amd know about this is clear, they are releasing moster gpu for this sector too, but not only zec is good for nvidia, lbry is good too, maybe nvidia is behind the last pump of lbry? could be by how the thing are going

I think maybe people are confusing this Volta announcement regarding the upgraded Tesla.

Tesla isn't something new, the Pascal version of Tesla is already out right now and it can be yours for $4,995.00

What's big about this volta annoucement is that in 8-12 months we will see the 2080 series of cards based upon this design.

Oh and the Volta version of the Tesla will be about the same price as the Pascal version when it hits the market.

yeah could be.  I see that  diff could 2x  and price could stay at 100 usd  with zec  and the coin would still make money for miners.

It has been an amazing run for Gpu mining  more then 15 straight months of good coins for Gpus  and when you look at watts  the alts have beaten  BTC for more then 1 year in a row.

@ Eyedol-x  yeah  it looks like  a lot of growth  with the 2080 ti's  next year.

Yes, I agree. I don't think we will see consumer-level Volta cards until early to mid 2018. The 1080ti was only released a few months ago. I don't think the Vega will match the 1080ti's performance gaming-wise (though mining will be a different story). AMD won't be ready to release a brand new architecture next year.

Early this year, if you pay 0.2/kWH for electricity, it was not very profitable.

That is right. It is very profitable now.

For a new and used NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU computing processor - Tesla P100 - 16 GB on amazon.com wow .. i know only high end business need or can afford it but that has to be bad ass for mining and way beyond my price range .

 $13,931.68 Used

and you won't get it till July even the used one ...I'm guessing that because they release the end of June and the used ones are what they are using to test with now ? .


That's about 3 or 4 k sol or higher per card .... instead of what 20 cards to get the same results depending what card you base the speeds off of .. nice but very costly ..

So if it's = to 20 cards, is anyone using Teslas to mine? I'd trade all my 1080 Ti's for a 3 or 4 of these any day looking at the numbers- they look great on paper but would it work?

Were you ever able to (or anyone else) prove Teslas were good in practical terms (having noted someone actually using them for mining)?

Where is this?
