Check this out, vega specs finally.

Im interested in the vega 56 line up, which is basically a 1070 card but with HBM2 ram for coins like Zcash could be really good.  Im really hoping this will turn out to be the mining sweet spot for rig density and price/performance but that all depends how it performs, ETH not good for HBM2 but some of the others could end up being nice.

I having second thoughts about this Vega lineup.....1070 and 1080ti are already king in ZEC and a whole bunch of ccminer algos.

Vega Gaming version even with fast HBM2 will be better?

Maybe a price tag of below $200 will change my mind...

I see 399 and 499 in that thread.

They may be a good or great zec  card.

but at 499  it needs to be  able to do 600 sols at 180 watts to be better then  the 1080 ti

I can do 640 sols at 170 watts with the 1080 ti  and pay 665 with a good deal

the the higher end amd doing 600 sols at 180 watts and costing less per sol  makes it better then the 1080ti
