AMD.... won?
only until terry takes over intel.

Wish amd would win so I can buy a cheap Intel cpu with over 8 cores.

Damn, somebody got ripped off. I wonder if I could make a few bucks from some sucker buying my 760.
>>60889678
What is mining anon?
Cute that you think that your 760 is worth anything more than two digits.

Get the fuck off my board
>>60889704
Shit, I'll take mid double digits for it, I was gonna just throw it out.
Wouldn't they have been better off buying a new GPU that has more life left and better performance? I'll admit I'm unfamiliar with mining.
>>60889678
miners are buying AMD gpus en masse which is why they're nowhere to be found and the occasional used ones sell for ridiculous prices
>>60889734
You should be able to at least fetch 50 bucks for it.
>>60889736
why's that, the ammount of shaders that can be used for cracking shit?
They won a few benchmarks, good luck finding AMD chips in OEM hardware however.
Hell, Intel makes so much money they can buy 100% of AMD inventory to ensure no consumer gets their hands on them.

AMD has OEMs on their side this time. If Intel tries the shit they did last time, FTC is watching.

Not only is this saturday morning cartoon villian level logic, the FTC would again step in and stop them.

AMD is generally a lot of horsepower, dumb horsepower. Nvidia is much more efficient, but less. These sort of cancel eachother out, well, used to. Maybe vega will fix this.
Mining relies on a LOT of dumb tasks, what you need is raw horsepower, not efficient ones. Thus AMD.
Or that is how I was told.
>>60890073
so vega will be efficient raw horse power
>>60890073
/o/fag here. horsepower is an illusion. Horsepower is the byproduct of measured torque.
Horsepower = torque X RPM / 5252
>>60890163
Or they managed to increase the raw horsepower and reduce power consumption.
But more efficient is probably for the better.
