Title: i have no reason to believe volta is cost effective for mining at all Post by: ggbtctalk000 on May 29, 2018, 05:59:04 PM Looking at ebay offering, voltas are only sold as founders edition model. I dont see any OEM firms i.e. asus, evga is offering it yet. Typical price is around whopping 3000$. I dont believe its mining power justifies its price. I believe it is more geared toward AI processing. Just a thought. So I think as far as mining is concerned gtx 1080, 1070 is a long way to go to be not overshadowed by newer nvidia cards. But future is unpredictable. It is just looking like this for now.

Nvidia is making a big mistake if they will go with that initial price as with whatever card ATI come up, people will flock into it. ATI has never done crazy prices well except the RX Vega series but that was only for the few months when they were out, now you can find them much cheaper than they were in different online marketplaces.
