Future of GPU

[hakeriukasx]

Hello everyone,lets talk and share yours opinions about future of gpu.Time by time gpu becomes usless for mining because there are new asics hardware but before asics all gpu had amazing value and China's companies which producing gpu made a lot money couse most of gpus have been sold out everywhere but whats gonna happen now ?there arent so much gamers that could buy and buy new gpus every years and im thinking these companies gonna loose a lot of money because power of buying is less than before,so is there any hope that someone creates system like cryptocurrencies and gpu will be sold out again i dont im a little sad having a few r9 280x which not gonna get return of investment but peoples who have more than 100 gpus at home what they gonna do i cant imagine

like before, sha256 asic came out, and all gpu miners went to scrypt.
Now its turn for keccak (maxcoin) or X11 alghorytm
It will be profitable again and again and again .....
story repead itself

I think n-scrypt --- vertcoin is a very good choice.  it is professionally run with very very strong team.

x11 - FPGAs, I've already seen a few 1-2GH/s miners
sha-3 (Maxcoin) - botnets + most likely something else; its hashrate went up too fast, last time I checked it wasn't that profitable for GPU miners
scrypt-n (VTC) - some ASICs can already mine it; and if developer fixes it by increasing N, it will be a CPU-only coin

I haven't seen any good GPU-only algorithms yet.

You are right, sooner or later all algo would be ASIC mineable. So RIP GPU, sell it before its too late or use it for gaming

Some asic can mine scrypt-N.. ??

Ok

Which one ?

sooner or later there will be new algo too... (as well as faster gpu, using less power...)

[Brewins]

There will always be a new algorithm for gpu's to mine. Gpu's will never be obsolete

so which should I mine now using my R9 270x rig?  Are any of these more profitable than scrypt right now, or does scrypt still have another month or more in it before the ASICs destroy GPU mining?

I read that X11 runs significantly cooler due to the algorithms and the demand placed on the GPU/ram

[cozk]

Still waiting on my question

Which asic can mine VTC ?

I suspect the answer is none but i'll give you the opportunity to answer.

[flippo]

Yes, hashing X11 algorithm means half the power consumption, up to 15°C cooler gpus and cca. triple megahash/s. At least for me.

Well, this company *claims* they will have a Scrypt ASIC capable of Scrypt-N:

There's also Execoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=491058) another scrypt-n coin with a lot of potential.

[EFFV]

Vertcoin (n-factor) and x-11 coins are a good choice to mine currently.

Buy scrypt and Bitcoin.

I think gpu profitability will begin to pick up again soon... just wait.

[NuSalvo]

I'm sick of seeing people post some shitty companies website and claim they can mine this algo or that with an ASIC.

Unless it is RELEASED and IN SOMEONES HAND then do not compare it and do not post about it for fucks sake, you seem like hopeless idiots just waiting for the next best thing.  That, and your wasting your fucking money.

Personally, with the temps raising I switched to DRK over a month ago and forgot about my 3 rigs.  Some people think it's a shitty coin, but what I had nearly tripled in value one night and has held since then.

[stacksmasher]

X-11 has already been cracked... They are using a modified miner driver to mine with the current SCRYPT ASIC's

I can not imagine, if X11 also fails, then the GPU will completely exit the stage of history.

[SuperKing]

It's hard to say the future of AMD and NV.

AMD has a large number of orders from Microsoft(XBOX ONE) and Sony(PS4).
NV has many products and partners.

[Amph]

nah i can still instamine at launch with my rig, scrypt included

[guitarplinker]

I'm quite certain Scrypt ASICs cannot mine Scrypt-N coins, whoever said that earlier.

Scrypt-N looks promising, but I think the future of mining cards will be NVIDIA - look at their performance with all the algorithms offered in CCMiner, many cards perform better than AMD for these algorithms.
