I grabbed one to play with I already have two regular vegas and I love them

I'm fighting so hard not to buy a bunch of them. Greed is pushing me towards logging into all my newegg accounts and buying 1 on each of them. I just need to hit the pause button for now.

hmm how do you have multiple newegg accounts lol

i tried that but the same address for shipping the found me out pretty easy , even with different cards since name was the same on cards

Have 3 56 in one rig, and the 4th in a nvidia rig. Best tip, go through this how to. Then its running

why not just share with everyone how you are able to bypass newegg by having multiple accounts

[Bimmber]

Because they might find out from his post and close that loophole....

And also this card has only 1yr warranty.

Can anyone shoot me to a guide for getting FE's setup on Ubuntu?  At this point I'm ok with my 4 FE's doing 1500-1600 reliably in one rig instead of 3 rigs like I'm running now to get full 2100

I...
install ubuntu 16.04 LTS
install blockchain drivers
install AMDSDK
fix grub
fix groups
fix symbolic link

compile xmr
and it doesn't find any AMD devices.

If I do lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display' I get 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Vega 10 [Radeon Vega Frontier Edition]

If swap the FE out for a 580 or similar it recognizes and hashes just fine.

What am I missing?!?!?!?!

[RIGED]

setup a single FE rig and its giving me headaches

after some complex driver voodoo that I cant repeat the FE is running at 2050H/s

hoping to put 6 total on this rig and its looking like a tall mountain

The mid range cards are probably doing better when including cost of the card and cost of elec.   The reasonably best ETH MH I saw for Vega was 47 but I imagine others have got higher?

Vega doesnt have to run hot if it undervolts well, that varys but alot can go much lower then anything stock indicates initially.   XMR appears the most profitable but ETH is very bullish crypto for a while now.

Do you have any frontier vega's and if so what are your settings?

This Geek Mark already did all the work for you.

Amazing to see how stupid these noobs are by paying $900 for a vega.

Okay people,
I am getting
VEGA 64 8GB for 470$
RX 480 8GB for 235$
RX 580 8GB for 395$
RX 570 8GB for 315$
GTX 1070 8GB for 285$
R9 295X2 OC 8GB for 710$

Which is a better buy?
Any recommendation?

I'd love to know where you can find those at those prices and actually available....if you are looking at nextwarehouse or asoola you'll get them in about 6 months if they even come.

RX480/580 is basically the same card but the 480 does better on power stock. If you can get an 8gb rx480 for $235 buy every one available...thats at/below msrp. RX570 has 4 less compute nodes (32 vs 36) but is the same polaris chipset as the 48/580 so its definately worth less than the others, but still viable at the price you posted.

1070 also a great card, can mine more than the nvidias and I find is more stable in windows after final 10 update than the radeons. Also a spectacular price at $285.

R9 295X2 is similar to the RX580, both of which are closer to 1060's, not 1070s.

Personally Id buy up all the 1070s first, then if I had money left over all the 480s. but unless you are buying used from somone that doesnt know what ebay is...I dont think those prices are real in todays market.

Cant speak on the VEGAs but I always build a triangle matrix when selecting cards that has cost, power and hashrate...lets just say the vega never even makes it on the top 10 list because its cost and power always lopside the triangle. CAST XMR will allow it to run 2kh/s for XMR/ETN which will help make the Vega great, but thats limited to really two main coins, only one of which is really profitable right now.

What is the point of buying AMD cards? You are quite limited, ETH and Monero mining mostly.

and equihash coins - ZCL, ZEC, ZEN, BTG, HUSH, KMD.
And cryptonight coins - XMR and ETN being the most prevalent.
And ethereum  coins - PIRL, ELLA, ETH, ETC, MUSIC, UBIQ, EXP. Not to mention the dual mining for SIA, DECRED, etc.

You can also mine the NeoScrypt, Pascal, and Skunkhash based coins as well.

Its not as limited as one may think. and the equihash are quite profitable right now. But I do agree NVidia > AMD for options/flexibility. I run a mix of 50/50 right now but that is due to card availability.

that's insanely cheap.  If you're talking USD then I highly doubt those prices are true.
