Re: DIY FPGA Mining rig for any algorithm with fast ROI

just think about it, it's not that crazy as may sound like at first glance

one of this is just 30 gpu 1070, at the cost of 10 o f them(you can find a 1070 for 330 or lower now so it's up to 12 of them), so it's 3:1 at best, but the new nvidia gpu will be 100% faster than a single 1070

this mean that this vs the 1170 will be only 1.5:1, 50% faster or lower...nothing special

That Nvidia will release a GPU that is 100% faster than 1070 for 330 USD (which is you price in the comparison) is quite unrealistic Tongue

This generation we had quite a boost, yet the 1060 is only about 12% faster than a 970 as an example.
And dont forget the difference in power consumption! I would love a single FPGA instead of a 1080 ti rig, but have to see that it works first. Lead time in Norway is 12 weeks though Sad

will be 500 at launch( so 15 1170 vs this board will be $4000 vs $7500)as usual and 700 for the 1180 which is arguably as a fast as this fpga board for the same cost and same consumption with some tweaking

a 1170 will consume 100 watt, tdp of a 1180 which is a strongest card is the same as 1070ti which consume only 100, so a 1170 will consume less probably at lower tdp

You are dreaming if you think the new 1180 will be as fast as this card.
The 1180 will be an incremental improvement over the outgoing 1080, and even if it was faster than a Titan it will still be far slower.

Depending on the algorithm, we're talking about an FPGA that looks like it can be equivalent to 10+ Titan's!
