Baikal miner is currently based 40nm architecture. More than likely with all the money they are getting, they will put it into R &D and release 20 nm or even 14 nm machine soon. Once that happens, all of the existing Baikal machines will be less valuable. As for the GPUs, they will need to find some other coin to make it worthwhile.

Does anyone know the mining power of one Sapphiretech Rx 470 Nitro model for Dash/x11 algo ?

Advantage of GPU over the Baikal ASIC is that if diff goes nuts in Dash (which is likely) or price falls (which is also likely) a GPU can mine about 100 other coins that Baikal cannot.

well a baikal can mine 6 algo not only one, so you have some other option in case x11 tank, it's also true that if dash tank other coins can not sustain its hash

Agreed, there are some other options. But none of them as profitable, and while I am a fan of Baikal/Dash I would still argue that GPU most likely have better resale value and wider application area.

Not saying Baikal is a bad value, just pointing out limitations.

at current rate of profitability i only need less than 3 months to roi with a A-900 giant, nothing can roi that fast at the moment
