I'll just leave this here, looks like Summer is heating up.

is this confirm i believe this is still rumor at this point

I saw this today over at another site, too.  My first instinct is that I don't like it.  How is this different than the race to the bottom with BTC asic devices?  There will be little resale value for these new mining cards, once the next generation card comes out.

I would love to see that motherboard up and full
Even with a few splitters to increase even more...
It looks promising and would help resolve many problems around the mining.

I know I don't like it. The "optimized" GPUs are anything but. Only a 90 day warranty and, without display ports,
no secondary market. I wonder how they will  prevent gaming GPUs from being used for mining.

this article is worthless... all the links in it are to keyword tags in hothardware.com and amazon.com sites...

it's like the orange guy saying "trust me, i know things"

I'd agree a mistake to buy them, for sure.  If I had to guess these were probably speced and designed for HPC applications (science/big data/simulaion/etc..) number crunching, and with the recent GPU boom they looked to how they could capitalize.  I doubt very much the CARDS are going to be beneficial for any of the smaller home miners, and are really only a perk for large scale operations that just want to maximize hash to ROI without concern for resale.

The second hand market will be shite for these because only miners and researchers will have a practical use for them.  The mobo looks like a best, but I think it was Phillip who commented on that yesterday, and again it's really out of the realm of practicality for a DIYer.  Running 13 GPUs (if it's even supported at the moment) on one system is going to have power requirements that are ridiculous and only really benefits someone who is INSANELY concerned about hashing density. 

I suppose if you were running 13 1080ti cards it might have some upside, then again if you have 13 1080tis you already have too much money  ;D

Eu laws force 2 year warranty so this never gonna happen

would these display-less GPUs be any good for crossfiring with a normal GPU of their series I wonder?
They'd still have other uses that way, but still a bit more limited than a normal GPU.

ah but only if you buy it in the EU ..had this happen to me...did not apply to USA :(

(but then I'd have that pesky VAT)

why in the fuck would i want something that's specialized? any type of specialized equipment 100% means shit resale value. look at older antminers and bitcoin miners. the reason i didn't invest money in those is resale value. i like to hedge all my bets.

It depends on the price. If its like $50 then its worth it, but if its only $50 off the regular price of a RX 570 then most likely you are better off buying the real thing.

I don't think removing the monitor outputs will save them much money.

Either way they should of done this last year. With everybody and their Grandma mining now we are all on borrowed time because this bubble might burst anyday now.

Wait till someone will actually use it and provide an honest opinion through their personal experience, new hardware are going to be replaced by newer ones after just a month so don't rush. You might just find out the current you are using is a lot better than that one.

We already have topic about this mobo: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1939165.0
It wasn't working good, someone says it crashed with 8 GPUs I think.
It could have 14 GPUs, but H110 spec says no M.2, so I'm not sure... also there is only few pcie lanes, we were talking about how that could work, nobody was sure.

i think they will cost more and hash much more than gpu, because they are oiptimized for mining, pretty much like asic, which is very bad, i don't like this, expensive HW that are specialized will make the mining centralized

I think that for some things we are now approaching the end, my suggestion is to deposit money in long coaches instead of mining.

Otherwise these graphics card companies can get us down.

Yes, it's very interesting for me. i will take some motherboards to set some rigs for my farm.
When is this motherboard available for purchase? How much is it?

If there is no restriction for using normal mobos - gpus for mining, then it is pointless to produce and sell mining-only components. People are crazy over BTC mobos, but in my test other mobos works fine (except small issues) and resale value was higher. Now that most of gpus are out-of-stock, probably owners will try to sell their component at least x2 price.
