and any diference between the air and liquid version or could i just go for the air one? do not care about noise. i can get air cooled cards fe at same price of vega 64 at this moment due to the shortages in belgium

For monero mining it does not matter. But if you ever want to do dual mining, liquid edition is a must. In my tests, dual mining throttles the card even at 4000rpm fans.

vega uses too much power mining eth though ? I've tested it and in a 54 seems to use like 350 watt for 43 mhs and 150 lbr


When I undervolt to 850mv/1400 core, it did like 44mh/s eth and 2200 dcr for a few mins till it gets too hot. I'd assume with the undervolt it draws way less than TDP but I had no wallmeter.

Even at 250W it's competitive imo because we are doubling the hash rate of dual mined coin. If there's a surprise high profit dual mine coin then it'll be great.
