Hi guys,
well, i'm also waiting for a miner...
meanwhile, I have a Brute Force software, that uses both Memory and Core intensively, and just for you to have an idea of the XR5700XT performance relative to other cards:
- RX470 - 35.5 to 41.6 MKeys/s
- GTX1050ti - ~27 MKeys/s
- GTX1060 - ~48 MKeys/s
- GTX1070ti - ~78 MKeys/s
- RX5700XT - 158 to 161 MKeys/s (YES, THAT'S A LOT for a 400$ Card!)
I Don't know if it's the new Architecture, but i was SHOCKED when I compiled the code and got it Runnig...
so, and i know this things are not linear, we have a factor of x3.87 compared to the RX470...
extrapolating to ETH:
RX470 - 30 to 32MH/s (mine does 33.2 MH/s
)
RX5700XT - 116.1 to 123.84 MH/s
take this calculations with 'a full gram' of salt!
Before everyone starts buying out your local Bestbuy: Brute force is EXACTLY what is sounds like. I'm no fancy bit city AMD low level engineer, but as mining goes we are also looking at quite a few other factors that extrapolate fairly badly with a straight brute force test. That said, awesome work, and I'm sure the new AMD cards are gonna be pretty killer. I seriously doubt that a 5700 XT will push EThash higher than a Radeon VII for many reasons, but I look forward to be proven wrong.
My semi-educated guess is that the 5700 XT will land around 1080ti performance based on memory bandwidth, and chipset (as a wild median). Outperform 1080/1080ti (2070) in general, but otherwise not break the laws of progressive performance except perhaps in some cases.
Remember (and I'm trying real hard not to bash AMD here), AMD do make great 'on paper' hardware. But driver and utilization wise, they have literally never over-performed.
