2mh/gpu

[Mr.V]

When reading about alphas new asic coming out a member posted about amd coming out with a new gpu being released in 2014 that will be able to pull 2mh/s a card. I cant recall what name he posted it as, do any of you guys know what the name of the card is?

[Mr.V]

being produced by AMD forgot to mention

Maybe it was a dual GPU card like the 7990? A single R9 290x can reach 900Kh/s or so maybe a dual version of that. It would be on the expensive side.

probably a thousand bucks like every other dual gpu.. but for 1.8Mhashes 1000$ bucks isn't all that bad...not great  but that'd have to be under water... No way amd could control that amount of heat.  When they go to the smaller NM design it should help things quite a bit but haven't heard anything about that for a while..Last I heard was q4 this year but I doubt they'd hamstring their current product line so soon.

Just so everyone knows AMD's GDDR 6 GPU's are scheduled to be out in Q3/4 2014 which will render these ASICs useless. GDDR6 has twice the bandwidth of GDDR5 and not to mention the shader increases in the cards. We will be seeing $500 cards @ 2mh/s each or even more.. at that time. I believe Alpha T's scrypt ASIC is real, but it will be no contest for the GPU's that get released in 2014

There have been no press releases or presentations by AMD to indicate we'll see GDDR6 on any video card in 2014, only a rumor of this by a VR Zone article. While it's certainly a possibility, I think it's far more likely we'll see a dual GPU card with Hawaii GPU's and GDDR5. Since the 7990 was discontinued back in September 2013, I think it's probable we'll see a next-gen dual GPU card from AMD in the coming months. Given that the R9-290X gets around 900KH/s, I think we'll see 1.8-2MH/s from a single card.

However, both AMD and Nvidia are expected to have 20nm GPU's in late 2014, so we might actually see a single GPU hit 1MH/s this year!
