To be honest here; I haven't splurged on buying any new video cards yet.... I am still holding out for 'that new model' that we know is being held back from us.
(remember word of a new model that is basically 4 1060 dies crammed together?)
I am waiting for that.
Here is a preview of dual P106 gpu by OhGodAGirl and she mentioned she have a dual P104 card laying around. 55mh/s Eth for Dual p106 at 150-175w, nothing groundbreaking given P102/1080ti can achieve this and GDDR6 cards right round the corner unless it's $400 usd.
So a dual 104 should do 80mh/s or so.

Knowing how much people are trying to keep GPU value inflation up from 6 months ago; It's hard for a little guy like me to justify a purchase of them.... And would rather take that risk on the 'latest and greatest' new version.... Knowing historically every new model has
always had a major benefit over the previous generation at some point; when it comes to ROI.... I feel I need to hold out for the new next best thing.
I am considering having an ASIC or two again; but it needs to fall into the realm of the S3; ~400W power consumption, and very inexpensive ($200 max purchase price) and easily re-sellable. A smaller miner like me can easily justify it and find paths to ROI with my power and budget constraints. When I see things like the D3 hit that range, where I can buy, use sell and buy again like I did with S3's a bit ago.... Winning strategy.
