Well, not so bright expectations, I assume...

Realistically, Monero/CNV7 is the only hope for these cards. And that too only if Monero does not fork again and they are able to do 40+KH/s at the minimum. Otherwise, the batch of 5000 FPGAs, plus other group buys, will just kill each other on other algorithms.

Monero will fork in october and the algo has been specifically changed to lower ROI on FPGA's. I am not sure what percentage it will drop though, I think it was 20% but don't quote me on that.

Compared to now
ASIC hashrate: divide by 16
FPGA hashrate divide by 4
AMD GPUs (Polaris and Vega) will lose a little more hashrate compared to NVIDIA.


Do you have a link? IIRC Intel CPUs will actually increase their rate.
