I hope this is hoax! Well probably it isn't...
I've got some info about AMD mining GPU.

https://3logic.ru/?A=5&SI=1&I=53263

I also have bios for this card... It's seems like reference RX 470 with Samsung memory.
1206/1750 MHz

Does anybody have info about card like this?

I've got real pic sent to my e-mail

Once I have some hashrates I will report it here.
Also it has different timings, not like other RX 470 Samsung cards. I haven't decode them yet...

Nobody knows?

i would rather it not be dvi-d, hdmi is better since i can plug it into any tv and can spread out my rigs better.

There were rumors about similar cards a week or two back, this is the first concrete sign I've seen.
Appears to be legit, googling the model number 11256-31-10G finds lots of foreign-language sites with listings mentioning mining + 1x DVI

I'll take five? :)

These are not AMD they are all NVIDIA. AMD didn't confirm on making any mining GPUs.

DVI is compatible with HDMI, you just need simple adapter, maybe 2 bucks?

I've done a research too, they are also in my country (CZ), but there is no image and connectors says DVI/HDMI/DP...

I've made topic on the NVIDIA card also, but this isn't that one.
If the bios what I have is legit for this it's RX 470.
From what I know neither NVIDIA confirm mining GPUs only rumors...

Here is link for the NVIDIA mining GPU: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1959942.0
One guy said that it's in stock in Moscow.

They're not MADE by AMD. They're made by Sapphire, and essentially strips down on a lot of connectors and fancy RGB stuff and directs the vent fins to the back exhaust etc. All to create a lower cost, "purely made for mining" card.

It's Sapphire jumping on the bandwagon. :)

Now, if it turns out Vega is brutal at ETH, then watch craigslist get flooded with 470/480/570/580 cards.

I think VEGA won't be good for mining. If the HMB2 won't be some masterpiece.

 That design makes no sense for a pure mining card.
  Looks more like a photoshopped effort - or perhaps a "pre-order" placeholder.

 A "mining" card, like the NVidia GP106-100, should have NO video connectors at all and the whole backplate should be set up to maximise airflow.
 On the other hand, AMD has this bad habit of needing a "dongle" for pure compute usage on non-workstation cards - but an HDMI port for that would make more sense as it's a lot smaller.


 There's been quite a bit of confirmation that the GP106-100 will happen - but it's up in the air as to if it's going to be available to "small folks" or only going to get sold to "major farms".
 I believe the consensus "official release" date for that one is June 19.

Yes the pic looks like fake, but I've got real pic! I've added it to first post.

I still dont buy it. That second pic looks faked too, the reflection on the backplate looks strange. And why the hell arent we hearing any of this from the manufacturers themselves? Why is it all shady information obtained by brand new forum posters?

This is the 11256-31-10G model number, doesn't look is for mining only.

What are good mining graphics cards to mine altcoins like ETH, ZEC, LBC ?

If there were no video connectors, the resale on these things once they become obsolete is going to be horrible. At least one connector on it is nice but for any real gamers, no 144hz output kills it (at least for guys like me). Will be interesting to see how it works out long term. Profits from mining outweigh the sale cost but it's still something to think about.

I agree that if this card is real and it's DVI only, that sucks but some "mining" cards are slated to have no video connectors.

Look at the card pictured from Colorful below, it is believed to be DVI only as well.

This is AMD, the arcticle is about NVIDIA, another topic :D

Here are hashrates with modded bios.

Nice, I'll put that to first post.

there are both option, but nvidia is more promininet with release, amd is usually late, but what matter is the speed when you compare it to the gaming version, if it's not very above that oen it's pointless to buy imho, and the no dvi is bad, i can't sell this when the roi is done or the profit is killed

I see 2 of these on one big eu reseller, there is no stock though.

no sense prices

Given CURRENT pricing on RX-series cards, the prices unfortunately DO make sense.

They can milk alot of money from us miners haha!  :o

With the recent Diff increases and todays price plummet, not for much longer I'd think.

ETH profitability, even with todays price crash/correction and the huge surge in network hashrate over the last 2 months, is still a lot higher than it was 3 months ago.

 On the other hand, the drop *MIGHT* convince some folks to back off on further "massive farm expansion" - depends on how many of the bigger farms are in super-cheap power areas that can probably weather the long-term drop long enough to achieve ROI.


 Also depends on if the past week is more of a "correction" (which is what I strongly suspect given fundimental factors behind ETH in particular, among SOME of the other coins affected) or the start of a collapse.

Yeah there are already a few places where you can pre-order these cards however the pricing makes no sense what-so-ever.

there you go ;)

not mine, just an insider pix i received & confirmed it is true. there is another version of rx sapphires without any i/o.

received news abt 2-3 weeks ago that there will be shipment somewhere in july & CONFIRMED AMD themselves have increased the prices of gpu's.

happy mining folks.

Yes, this GPU is what I've made bios mod for. 1x DVI-D video output.
It had only Samsung memory... pretty sweet 30MH/s and more if you OC.

4GB cards are in-stock at Newegg and have a 6-month warranty:

SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 470 11256-21-21G 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E (UEFI) (Built with Non Samsung Memory) - $249.99

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202292

Just saw these doing my daily newegg check, and HOLY SHIT the pricing is insane.  480s were $50 cheaper less than 3 months ago and I got a 580 8gb card earlier this year for the same price.  They also are limited to ONE per person.  I feel bad for anyone that buys into these.

Is it me or is that last gpu floating in mid-air?

Overpriced, yes. But not as bad as paying $350+ for esssentially the same card on eBay USED and with NO warranty.

Sapphire now has 3 of it's cards listed on Newegg.

 Only one in stock though was https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-202-292 and they're limiting it to 1 per person as of when I ordered mine - which I should have early next week.


 I figure I can at least get it MOSTLY paid for mining, and I have other uses for AMD cards long-term.

 I also don't see the "mining specific" cards having a big effect on pricing for a while - still too much demand for cards in general.

That's out of stock now too (probably due to people creating mutiple accounts and shipping them to addresses that they own). These cards will be less valuable after mining and so they are pretty much obsolete after mining, buying these is a little bit of a gamble. Unfortunately the "better" value cards for gaming like the 1060 and 1070 are now selling for inflated amounts of price too, so gamers can really only buy low end or extreme high end cards for good value nowadays.

They won't be obsolete after mining - there will be some small value to folks running dual-card Crossfire setups or folks with directX 12 games.

 Resale value is not likely to be GOOD though.


 Per my discussion with the NewEgg rep, it appears that the card I ordered never was in stock - "yet" - and is due sometime in July.


 I've not noticed much effect on GTX 1080 pricing yet, but it HAS been shifting a bit on the bottom end and availability seems to be dropping.
 EVGA earlier today only had *2* of their GTX 1080 models in stock on their webstore - it's not just NewEgg - and I am pretty sure that EVGA bumped pricing a little on at least some of their GTX 1080 models vs. a month ago.

 Haven't seen any effect on the GTX 1080 ti.
 YET.

Hello everyone, so i just picked up a 11256-31-21G to try it out and every time i try to do a simple memory strap windows gives error 43 after restart. i can OC the card to about 25.600 Mh/s @ around 83 watts (GPU). any suggestions?  :(

error 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported an error
Driver version: 22.19.171.257

Update 7/16/2017
well as the name implies noob here. I got the error 43 to go away, the secret was the atikmdag patch to make the error go away but then i played around with different drivers. see results for my experience.

Failed
Driver 16.9.1 - couldnt see sensors such as temperature
Driver 16.10.1 - same results

Success - YAY
Driver 17.7.1 - max supported at time of writing on the atikmdag website (saw all my sensors) and worked on my RX-580

Process
Installed Driver 17.7.1

Ran atikmdag patch

modified memory timings using UberMix v3.1

I personally don't know many people who run crossfire setups (for gaming) and few people do. Most people are looking to just get one card, and for those folks output will likely be very important. As you said, resale will be minimal if there is any at all. 1080 Ti prices have not gone up yet and it's not likely to as ETH price continues its downward trend and difficulty rises/

 I know a few folks run dual-card setups - it's particularly nice under DirectX 12 when games support it specifically (Ashes of the Singularity for example) as you don't NEED to mess with crossfire / sli any more. and have a lot more flexability about mix-and-match while still getting useful gains on framerate.

 I didn't say it was COMMON though, which is why I specified "Resale value is not likely to be GOOD" - it's just not going to be ZERO like some folks claim.
 Also, most modern monitors support DVI-D, even though TV's rarely do so, so the Sapphire cards in particular WILL have a resale market, though it might take SOMEWHAT of a hit due to lack of HDMI outputs.

 I just wish they'd left the holes in the plate where they removed the connectors compared to a standard Nitro, or opened up the plate MORE instead of closing up those holes - the fins on the heatsink are orientated to blow air out that way and having more open space would help cooling noticeably in a case and a little even in an open-air riser rig.


 I've not tried to BIOS mod my card yet - haven't gotten around to trying to do so on my original pair of RX 470 cards, as they're not being used for ETH mining and memory strapping doesn't MATTER to their primary usages.


 The cards that have NO video outputs are going to be the ones with very limited resale value.

Lower the core clock to 1150 MHz and increase the memory clock to 1950 or 2000 MHz with a -96 mV undervolt in Afterburner. That should get you to 28-29 MH/s @ ~100W GPU only dual mining. Use HWinfo to check for memory errors and if none, you could try increasing the memory clock by 50 MHz.

Couldnt it at at 28 max i hit was 27. kept tweaking and got the results below.

Current settings
tdp from 85 to 110
-96mv
1206 clock
1999 mem
28MH @ 72-73watts ETH only claymoore
44c 60% fan

Hi noobmining, what did you mod in your memory straps in the bios?
I only copied 1750 over 2000 and barely hitting 23MHs

it will be better if you use the latest version of AMD graphic card or Nvidia also good, but you also must consider about electricity cost

@ Jerry

i copied the memory strap below to 1750 and 2000. Found the UberMix thanks to Matthev.

The RX series seems out of play unfortunately now. We need at least 39 Mhash to make 0.001 btc in a day and th RX 470 seems far away from such result together with RX 480 series. Their price is not at all justified to be the one which is all over Ebay and Amazon. I think because of these Scrypt miners difficulty will rise even more and GPU-s will become obsolete in a few months if things continue like the are now.

 How did Scrypt get into this discussion?

 Scrypt hasn't been GPU mineable for a profit for YEARS, even with FREE electric.

Can someone please confirm today hashrate for ETH and ZEC ? Thank you.

Exactly the same hash rate has before, since that DAG fix drivers have been released.

Which is... ? 27-28? Can reach 30 stable undervolted?
