So guys our VEGAs are now pretty much shit because they are doing only slightly better than RX 580s which are half the price. How do you guys feel about selling our VEGAs? Good decision or is there something coming up thats worth keeping them for? I know CN ASICs will die but i don't believe they will be profitable for much longer.

Lol what are you smoking? Slightly better? Slightly? Really lol.. My vega FE can hit 2,250H/s on Cryptonight. Yea.. "slightly" better than a 580.

Last time I checked 8GB 580s on ebay are still going for 300 USD used. A 580 does half of what a vega hashes. With the new 18.3.4 you can run 12 on a single board @ ~24Kh/s. Go try and do 24kh/s on a single board using 480s/580s and let me know how well it goes.

I don't think many mine cryptonight now on RX570/RX580s. It would be Ethash or something else.

Depends what is more profitable. I can still mine 960h/s on my 580's @80watts and there are a few good cryptonight coins still out there.

80w on wall? that's unlikely.
RX580 can even do 1000+ but at 95w-100w from wall. Still at Efficiency (Hashes/Watt) of 10 vs Vega with efficiency of 12-12.5 + less heat + less space + less components to setup similar hashrate rig. Imo RX570/RX580 were main attractions for ETH mining. However, now the difficulty is so high you need 410-420 MH/s to get 1 ETH in a month.

+ you would have to buy 2x MB, ram, cpu risers for the RX580/570 combos. + you would need to go around quantity limits when you buy them + the space needed for each rig and the time to flip 24 gpu instead of 12...

That's debatable. You run into higher chances of rig being down with 12 GPUs with a crash or in worst case any component failure on CPU, RAM, MBO your entire rig is down. Most likely it's the Motherboard that fails first.

It's good option to spend $300 on additional components and separate out the 12 GPUs in 2 Rigs (at least that's what I would do). Also, 12 x Vega on single rig is bad idea in terms of pulling power from single 15A US socket.
