From pm discussions 4 vega 56's can be had for about 1700-1800 usd put in with a ryzen 1700 and a proper mobo.

Build is about 2200. it will do 8000-8500 for cryptonight/monero under 700 watts. so roi is under a year.

how good is that? I am not sure. What I don't like is if xmr tanks the card does not have a lot of value.

The price is coming down to the MSRP, which means that Vega cards should hold their value better going forward. I was really hoping for an ebay bucks promo this week with those Newegg Sapphire 56's at $419, but didn't happen, not for me at least. They're selling quite a bit at that price - I'm a little worried they'll raise it before another promo comes in. Either way, I see it as a good buy right now - XMR is pretty undervalued imo, and would only really tank along with a more widespread alt crash. And it's showing promise with other algos - I think this card has a lot of potential once miner developers have had more time to work with it.

I can get 4x 56's for under 1700. I have a few mobos empty.

I can move my 1080i's from my ryzen 1800 board and put 4x amd 56's mine all xmr.

Not sure if I will but I may do this.
