Title: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: sevenmiles on August 14, 2017, 05:28:12 PM https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_RX_Vega_64/34.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-vega-64,5173-16.html And quote ;D: Some reviewer said that the hashrate is like on the Frontier Edition(36mhs?) which is nowhere near 70-100 Mh/s Highly doubtful. Workstation cards are never as good as gaming models for mining. Workstation cards use a different memory cache intended to fit large files. The Vega FE uses a HBC. Quote High-Bandwidth Cache Controller The state of the art memory system on Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPUs removes the capacity limitations of traditional GPU memory. Thanks to automatic, fine-grained memory movement controlled by the high-bandwidth cache controller, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition processors enable creators and designers to work with much larger, more detailed models and assets in real time. https://pro.radeon.com/en-us/product/radeon-vega-frontier-edition/ my test on rx 64... https://s17.postimg.org/vviiqdwn3/20733012_10209647593128458_104420289_n.png (https://postimages.org/) https://s17.postimg.org/s0jq1k2v3/20750442_10209647593088457_1751268948_n.png (https://postimages.org/) https://s17.postimg.org/6fendy64f/20750741_10209647593048456_235856514_n.png (https://postimages.org/) Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: zer0k on August 14, 2017, 05:33:27 PM Hmm...I think sucks is a bit strong.
I think we'll see the initial figures change over the next month Here's a decent review showing ETH performance... https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_RX_Vega_64/34.html (https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_RX_Vega_64/34.html) https://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_RX_Vega_64/images/ethereum.png Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins...

Post by: 6Asmodeus6 on August 14, 2017, 06:06:00 PM It's still kinda early to talk about it but just like @Vyazhan says gamers can be happy for once in a year I think :D.GPU mining has a powerfull effect on market so it's hard and expensive to get a graphic card for daily use.
Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: uDwcHYO on August 14, 2017, 06:07:19 PM Can an optimized driver or miner increase the hashrate? On the other hand, you can take on the perspective and get in the dispersal of 39-41 megahash until something has changed in the software or drivers.
Now the choice from AMD is not particularly great, may want to benefit from this. Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: Kompik on August 14, 2017, 06:10:16 PM You can make ROI on this card using it as a stoove, cooking breakfast eggs etc. So i think it still can be a smart buy.
Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: Vann on August 14, 2017, 06:16:58 PM I put ZERO faith in unproven benchmarks from new post wonders or tech reviewers. I'll wait until I see BBT's review on Youtube showing the actual card and settings used and the results before I pass judgment. Even then, just as with any new card, it will only get better once miner and driver compatibility catches up.

Is powersave a software feature? Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: Temporel on August 14, 2017, 06:25:00 PM Hmm...I think sucks is a bit strong.

coins saw 20-40% increase...and baffin is basically half the polaris, while vega RX is completely new architecture Title: Re: Looks like RX Vega sucks at mining, on all the coins... Post by: QuintLeo on August 15, 2017, 08:44:46 PM funny, my 1080Tis get 38 MH/s out of the box (they are not Founder Edition obviously). Aorus or one of the other high-performance 1080ti models?
