BBT Will livestream RX Vega 64 unbox, install, mining perf test @ 4pm CST 16 Aug

[alumar]

Good afternoon,

Today in roughly 3 hours, Bitsbetrippin will host a livestream where we unbox the new RX Vega 64, install it into a PC (only one card  ) and do a cradle to grave driver install, setup and configure for GPU PoW mining across multiple coins. Our tuning, testing will be all done in front of you.

Your welcome to join in on the journey and if you miss it, no problem, just check our channel out as it will be posted for your consumption at a later time.

Finally a an in-depth Vega 64 review. Will be watching!

I really want to be wrong - but you guys will get 30-32MHs for ETH solo

the live stream showed ~37MH/s...but still...37MH/s at 375 watts!!!
WTF...unless people have FREE electricity, who wants to mine with this sucker AMD card with price over $1,000 dollars...

44mh was the peak

IT remains to be seen what kind of hashrate it will be capable of once the miner programmers get their hands on them and can optimize it. I expect that reaching 50 MH/s is going to be doable at some point, but with the crazy power draw I don't see it being super appealing even if it reaches that mark.

So the BIOS looks like its locked ... that being said, were playing with the power some to see what we can get out of this one now.

Going to do another quick livestream if folks interested in the 'testing'

I also think it will get to 50+ MH/s with reduced power consumption once the miners and overclocking tools are optimized for Vega. Wolf0 also posted the Vega Bios is not encrypted, just signed and he has a workaround.
