Wow...AMD has basically just released hot clocked refreshes of the old 470/480 series that are maybe 3-10% faster but use way more power

The RX580's look like they are using 60-100W more power than a 480 just to squeeze enough performance out to look better than a 1060 6GB Cheesy

Now everyone can run out and get a new RX 580 card that requires more voltage, produces more heat and has higher power consumption.

How long until Vega drops?

Don't spread misinformation

They use 30 watts more.
they should use the same power if you turn down the core clocks
but for zcash the higer core should give more hash rate so that wattage increase could be worth it
