The intro price (at Avnet) on the VCU1525 is $3995 USD, but it will be going up to around $5K in July. The Bittware XUPP3R-VU9P crypto version is $5895 USD, and has two advantages over the VCU1525: (1) it has four QSFP28 100G ports so you can daisy chain 4 FPGA's together to mine Xevan at 162MH/s, and (2) it has flexible memory options, so you can install either DDR4 or QDRII+ SRAM; the QDR memory gives way faster hash rates on Equihash vs. DDR4. I've been in communication with many members of this forum who are already organizing a group buy.
this difference between the vcu1525 and the XUPP3R-VU9P is mainly the better memory option. how much of a difference is this expected to be?
im am so down with this project, i love the fact i can just drop it into my onda board with no mods.. the "just anther videocard" format has me hooked.
Could't we open a telegram/discord for this? there is so much to ask, answer and share...
