The numbers would have to be pretty spectacular to justify the $1000+ price tag of the card. Otherwise ROI will be much too long.
It's so pretty though!
I'm hoping they pay for themselves, that would make me satisfied. If they make me enough to build a new computer I'd be thrilled. If none of the above happens, I just have to hope my wife doesn't figure that out!
How do you plan on making them pay for themselves? 30MH/s at current DAG will get you about $60 a month. It's only a matter of a few months before it will only be able to generate $20 a month.
Why are all these people buying Vega FE? You guys know that were only two weeks away from Vega RX being launched right? You're going to be waiting that long for Claymore to update anyways and Vega RX will probably be half the price. So many people are horrible with finances.
You're making a big assumption in regards to finances. I do enough freelance CAD work to pay for the cards. So if two of them over a year pay for themselves during idle time while I'm at my day job, that's win win. An array if RX 580s will not benifit my normal workflow.
