Re: Radeon VII - Will it be good at Cryptomining

at $699, hell no, it will def be twice as faster than a rx 570 but not 4 times. You can buy a new rx 570 for as low as $180 x 4 = $720.

You need to take electrictiy into account. At 7nm it will probably consume very little. 4x 570 consume a lot. They are not even profitable atm.
I will probably buy one to play around with it. More depends on the results.

Did you understand what I wrote? I said radeon vii would be a good card if it was faster than 4 x rx 570 but as it stands it is likely better than only 2 rx 570. For example, 2 x rx 570 = 60mhs on eth, 4 x rx 570 = 120mhs.

The only way radeon vii is worth the money, is if is 4 times faster than a rx 570, we all know that is not going to happen.

And I said I will buy one and test. Its all speculation at this point. Also it greatly depends on the algo. Why are you all so hung on ethash that is about do die anyway. All will either fork away or perish under ASICs. So comparing ethash is poor comparison. New algos are comming out like coocko, ProgPow and others and there the difference is more then just 2x I would bet. Even current Vegas outperform 570 more then 2x. Also 4GB cards already can't handle some of the new algos.

Mining ETH for profit is a thing of the past.
