Any word on amd vega hash rates?

[philipma1957]

I'd wait vega, i have a feeling nvidia might reduce 1080 ti's price a bit.

In an ideal world the coins I am holding go up a lot and I get 3 or 4 of either one.

[smg1902]

Ive been playing around with mine...nothing crazy to announce yet. Here are some tidbits for you guys

-Claymore's and a few other miners have incompatible kernels with the new GNC, so those don't even work yet
-Genoil's works, does about 35-40 with some basic overclocks
-Once i start tuning timings on this thing and over volt the memory should be able to hit 40+ on genoils generic kernel
-Im working with AMD for some driver optimizations for mining specific kernels (specifically on the linux side since currently its underperforming horrible on their new compute stack). AMD finally woke up and is addressing their mining customers (they could ignore us for so long when 90% of their profits are from us recently).
-Once these are done, and Claymore updates his miner for Vega NCU we should be seeing 50+

Verdict is still out on whether this can compete on price/hash and watts/hash on polaris, but if it can do 50+ it will still win out on density cost(i.e. achieve 160+% hash using the same hardware).

Have you tried any other algos with it?  I've been thinking about picking a couple of these up but not if they're limited to only being potentially good with dagger.  Also, what kind of power draw are you seeing so far after tweaking?  The reviews that I've seen were saying that their cards were drawing >300w during their gaming and compute tests which doesn't sound so great unless they turn out to be mining monsters.

Only if Vega out performs the 1080 Ti which I doubt it will. No reason for NVIDIA to reduce the price on the 1080 Ti if it still holds the performance crown.

[QuintLeo]

The "performance crown" for MOST folks is gaming, not mining - that's the market NVidia and AMD are going to be primarily looking at when they decide on pricing for their cards.

 There's another kicker in the deck though, the rumours about a "GTX 2xxx" refresh of the 1xxx line, but that apparently isn't happening real soon.

[philipma1957]

Well I have a lot of $$ ready and I am going to sit for a bit.


I am selling  all cards except my 1080ti's
I have 2x msi red led gamer  rx 480 8gb   333 each
I have 1x asus strix              rx 480 8gb    333 for the 1

I have 2x nvidia  msi 1070 itx 8gb            444 each

usa free shipping  and I will consider lower prices  if you buy multiple cards
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2005702.msg19964378#msg19964378


when vega vs 1080 ti  hash king  is determined I will be able to buy them.

 i have 4.5 coins ready  and 3k cash

if I do sale above I will be at 5 coins and 3k cash.  It could be 25 1080 ti's or 16 vega's

[Marvell1]

the lower tier vegas will cost no more than $500-$700 , and just have less mem and a few less cores and probably same bandwith as the 16GB ones

It's the 1080Ti's you should be selling.
Those cards pull too much power and are to expensive to make under 5$/day.
Not viable anymore.

I do not agree. The 1080Ti is more efficient than the other cards.

 For a lot of uses, the GTX 1080ti is the most efficient option, both on a hash/watt basis AND on a hash/$ basis at the system level - ESPECIALLY AT RECENT PRICING.

 Even at 2 month ago pricing, there is a lot of usage where the GTX 1080 ti is very close to the 1080 and 1070 on a hash/$ basis.

 Best to sell off the "bloated pricing" cards while the pricing IS bloated, IMO.

your math is a fail.

[Megaquake]

I will be looking at the Nvidia Volta GPU around this quarter!

[jstefanop]

I found these two videos on you tube.  both are fails

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z48TzK529Eo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvLhEzSyouY

Gonna have mine soon - and will be modding the shit out of the VBIOS.

Do you think that vega will have "polaris bug" or it will not be affected like nvidia gpus?.

I kinda doubt it will have an issue - we'll see, though.

Can confirm this issue is on vega as well.

Block 3M = 34 MH
Block 4M = 29 MH
Block 5M = 22 MH

whelp vega is junk too it seems , good job AMD lol

 Volta IIRC is HBM 2 based - so I anticipate the initial Volta card(s) will be super-high-end compute stuff like the Tesla line and available in limited quantities due to the production issues that have been seen so far with HBM 2.

 Low performance on one specific mining algo does NOT make a card "junk".

 I'm still waiting to see ANY non-ETH mining numbers from folks with the Frontier Edition.

Don't care about eth .

what about zec 1000 sols at 200 watts possible?  or 900 sols at 200 watts?  or worse.

How do you know that, you tested it on FE? (we need more people to confirm that, maybe gaming one will be different, but i doubt it)  Well it seems that nvdia is going to be the best card for eth and etc, from 2-3 months, what an irony.

Edit:
Wait a sec, current block is 4M, how does your miner recognizes card as vega or something else? can you test block 2M?
Someone need to ask claymore about this.

Well zec is going to be so unprofitable because everyone will move from eth to zec, it is going to be madness.

well  if your are right I am sitting pretty with my 1080 ti's

and was smart to sell all my rx 480's

i wait to see real results on Vega and if good i sell all my rx 470
