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.

Does it mean they are not as efficient as the old cards?

If they are giving the same hashrate at more electric cost then nope.

If you run the same settings it will be 5-10% less watts.

As a miner you don't need the high clocks on the core.
