And the p104 cards are quite old. This is between 1070 / 1080 cards. So not a great thing considering what a 3060ti or 570xt cost about the same and deliver more hash as lower power.

You are wrong, that Nvidia RTX3060Ti has higher hashrate than a AMD 5700XT, on Minerstat calculator a RTX3060ti can output 60MH per second with power draw of 120watt and a RX5700XT only output 54MH per second with power draw of 91 to 100 watt, the only difference here is the RTX3060Ti is more costly

I was suggesting either of those cards are better than buying two generations older p104 cards at $399....when you can get current gen cards at about the same price.

3060ti cost me $459
5700xt cost me $399
Price difference is $60

3060ti gives 61mhs / 5700xt give 54 mhs / difference 7mhs in 3060 favor

Power usage at the wall for 5700xt is about 120w....the driver reports only wattage to gpu asic but actuall total wattage is higher for AMD which is around 90-100watts. 3060 uses around 125w as Nvidia driver reports wattage for enitre card.

Get a killawatt and read rig empty watts, rig +5700 watts, and rig + 3060 watts....then subtract empty rig wattage from both. This shows clearly that AMD is only reporting watts to GPU asic...and not whole card. Minerstat shows it that way becuase that is what the average user will see...and most wont actually bother to go and measure. I run both and actually did the tests prior to buying more.

I still dont see how one can argue for the p104 cards....they are clearly older and slower per hash/watt and at $399 + shipping + tariffs are not going to be cheaper than the two newer gpus.
