[HARDWARE][AMD] True Mining GPU from Sapphire 11256-31-10G [CONFIRMED!]

[Mattthev]

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

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...

[Mattthev]

Nobody knows?

[f5alcon]

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.

[fury420]

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?

[adaseb]

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.

[smcalister91]

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?

[Metroid]

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

[boby-1]

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

[leowonderful]

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

Nice, I'll put that to first post.
