Comparing to 1080ti it's not so high, but if they do not drive the price tag at least down to that of 1080ti and do not improve software in order to lift hashrate on ZEC to at least 750 H/s, I do not see Vega becoming a bestseller, since the cost of mining ETH is far lower on RX470/480/570/580 8GB. Unless its demand from gamers skyrockets.

The Vega is very much so inferior to any 1080 TI. The 1080 TI, depending upon your needs, is probably your go to choice for mining right now. If you can get your hands on cheap 4xx, 5xx, and 1070's then maybe they can be good choices as well.

Vega just came out so it will be very bug infested with driver problems and the power consumption i s WOW! Amd what the heck are you doing i need to set up a small power plant for your gpu? 1080ti is the right way

It's just why AMD is always second place in life. The whole world is buying GPU's for mining like we've never seen before? Let's offer slightly more juice for a lot more power, sounds good! Nvidia doesn't even have to release a new product. They're winning by not being as bad as AMD.

Most of miners forget about GTX1080 (NOT Ti). Its price about 470-500 euro and it gives about 580-600 Sol/s on equihash. Also GTX1080 is good for skunkhash (about 40 Mh/s) and many other algos

But we'll certainly continue to watch the developments around the blockchain technologies as they go forward" SO forget Vega, they don't care

So which is better performance then? GTX1080 or GTX1080Ti?
Or what can better handle the x13 algo?

1080Ti off course is better. More efficient in terms of assembling the rig and will be more relevant

The 1080 tends to be relatively unpopular. For the price and power consumption, the 1070 or 1080ti are more common. On the flip side, depending on where you look, you might be able to get 1080 cards for a less inflated price since demand for them doesn't seem to be the same as other ones.

Yes, stay away from the 1080 if you plan to mine, this is good advice.

I just bought 1 pny 1070 and msi gaming 1070 haven't had the chance to hookup the msi plan on doing later I'm trying to upgrade my r9 cards and the rest of my rigs are rx470/570 but these are my first nvidia cards what is the best performing miner to use just looking for some advice thanks

I would try the EWBF miner for Zcash. I'm not sure about Ethereum mining. The best way might just be for you to look up some common miners for whichever coin(s) you're looking at, then testing out all of them.

Thats because most people can't count properly. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Of course 1080 is very very good performer. While being 20% more expensive than 1070 (for now) it usually give 25-35% more hashpower on many algos.

Vega is developed for much thinks, but for mining no. They want to have in stock GPUs for gamers.

So Vega is not for mining?
