Title: GPUs for Ethash: Best value new card on the market, without regard to power draw
Post by: Tummler on February 10, 2019, 05:32:11 PM
Title pretty much says it all. Considering cost of acquisition only, what card currently available for purchase provides the best value considering only the cost of hardware acquisition?

if power draw is not an issue
then radeon vii is amazing at ethash
can hash at speeds 90 mhs at stock settings
in future with some tinkering to the bios it may achieve even 110 to 120 mhs

yeah except  the radeon vii  has shown it can do 90mhs

and the vegas never really did do this.

There is a chance that eth will switch to powprog  or is it progpow ;D

so far amd is not too good at that.

So buying amd to mine eth could be a pretty dumb move.

I agree that we are few steps closer to achieve 100+ but i'm not very optimistic

If we you same proportion for gossip  on VII in relation to VEGA expected rate should be 160~170 :D
