Has anyone done a rough return on investment estimate on these?

tldr: You'll never see the money back. Its like buying a 7790 but at double the cost.

Yea it does feel a little pricey for the hash rate, although these would use significantly less electricity.

It depends what you are looking for in return - pure money from mining Bitcoin? Best estimate I've seen is approximately 12-24 months to recover their cost, depending on what the difficulty does over that time.

If, however, you want them more as a novelty, or, as I and a work colleague will be, you are going to use them to teach your children a bit about the cryptocurrency, then you might value them differently!

I am talking about financial return from mining bitcoin. I am considering grabbing some for the novelty, but honestly just haven't done my due diligence on whether the price point makes sense as a financial investment.

Random thought: wouldn't these be even cooler if they could be daisy chained? I'd imagine the power draw of putting these in series would be prohibitive though...
