Nvidia Dedicated Mining GPU to Be Launched

[DannHomes]

Why the hell did they decide to launch GPUs for mining while bitmain is going to release ASIC for them. If bitmain achieve it's goal, then nvidias products will turn from good to worse.
Maybe they have another plans too but in any ways currently it's very acceptable. Really want to see what will happen to prices of gtx 1070 and all great gpus, for example rx 580 and others.

I think the problem of ASIC is it could not deal with a massive amounts of memory. But it seems like Bitmain has a team working on samples mining, as I remember few months ago they released GPU miners (sale only in CN) prior to the announcements on X3. And as I read some articles quoted that Bitmain probably made more then Nvidia last year. It looks like crazy times of crypto never end haha.

Bitmain soon releases the much talked about ETH miner

Yes, Bitmain has already scheduled to ship its 1st Batch of Antminer X3 on 15-31 May 2018. The 2nd Batch will be shipped on 15-31 June 2018. On the 1st shipment, the price of Antminer X3 is 11999 USD while in the 2nd shipment it's a bit lower at 7599 USD, and both can be paid with, BTC, BCH, and LTC. However, these X3's are designed to mine CryptoNight algo and not Ethash, therefore it's not suitable for mining Ethereum.

The P104 (1070) also uses GDDR5X. These Nvidia P mining GPU's are just stripped down Pascal cards with a shitty warranty and tweaked Bios for better timings and energy efficiency, like you can do yourself with AMD Polaris cards.

GTX 1070 and 1070 ti are GDDR 5, NOT GDDR 5x
1080 1080 ti and the Pascal Titans were the only GDDR 5x cards.

I have thought on this and the other question is what about the new GPU's to hit June/July of this year? They also should have GDDR6 memory too.

At current prices and with the prediction that prices will continue going down, If the new p-1xx is not going to produce 200 or 300% more hashrate than a 10xx series for the same price are not going to be profitable and I don`t know who is going to buy it if you are not buying it in a country with cheap prices and cheap electricity.

Unless these offer like at least double the hash rate of a 1080 ti at the same price, then it might not be worth it since resell to gamers as well would be cut from the picture.
