What do you think the performance will be for mining ?




AMD has recently added two new offerings to their WX series of professional, workstation-oriented graphics cards.
The WX 2100 and WX 3100 are entry-level offerings for the professional market, with 512 stream processors running at 1,219 MHz on a 14 nm graphics processor based on the Polaris architecture.
The RX 2100 features 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit interface; the RX 3100 doubles those figures to 4GB of memory on a 128-bit interface.

On performance, AMD said that the soon to be released WX 2100 and WX 3100 deliver up to 2x the performance of previous entry-level professional AMD graphics, and up to 28% faster performance than competing NVIDIA offerings.
The WX 2100 is expected to cost $149, while the WX 3100 is expected to go for $199.
AMD said the Radeon Pro WX 2100 and WX 3100 are both expected to launch in June; an exact date wasn't provided.

 50% faster clock HD 7750 with more RAM - so their mining performance is going to be quite low, but as "workstation" cards their price will be Way Too High.

 I would guestimate 100 sol/s at MOST on ZEC, and the 2GB won't do ETH at all while the 4GB is going to be deathly slow with that 128 bit memory bus narrowness.

8 Compute Units and 64 bit memory??? Its pretty useless in my opinion.

+1 ...seems shitty for mining

512 shaders are the heart for mining and an AMD 560 i believe is 786 to 1024 shaders , alot more shaders on the rx560 and more cheaper

garbage, youd be MUCH better served with a $100 4GB RX 560 (1024 shaders).

these are 512 shader cards (2100, 3100) and as such essentially just updated 7750's.....

Does anyone try the Radeon Pro WX 2100 or Radeon Pro WX 3100 for mining?

Waste of money unless you have the cards already for some other reason - they're nothing more than standard Polaris-class cards with INFERIOR clocks and cooling to the consumer versions at a MUCH MUCH higher price point.

Point is, that i could get These for a good Price. the small one for 75$ and the bigger one for 90$. That's why i am asking for a small mining farm.

mah, this is not worth the truble.  I doubt you can get  out 10MH for ETH, more likely from 5-7MH.
