its still a 5 series card, they sure as heck dont draw 200w just because of a few extra memory chips

I am curious why grin31 is being targeted when that is the ASIC friendly version of the algo, Grin29 is meant for GPUs

Why put out a product targeting an algo its not meant for? I am a bit confused by that.

From the mimblewimble github:

Grin POW Basics

Grin accepts 2 Proofs-of-Work. Both are variants of a concept called 'Cuckoo Cycle'.

    CuckARoo (or ASIC Resistant) is intended to be mined by GPUs. It can be mined using a 6GB+ GPU.
    CuckAToo (or ASIC Targeted) is intended to be mined by ASICs in the future. It can also be mined using 11GB+ GPUs.



While yes with 11gb GPUs its possible, but that still not what it was designed for.


Edit: And how will you support C32? That requires a minimum of 22gb of VRAM for its graphing from what I understand.
