Is there any reason not to go full 1080/1070 right now? >Vega

Can someone explain what vega is exactly?

why would anyone mine with literal housefires?

Course not. The vegas are great mining cards which means they pretty much don't exist.

well there is the fact that Nvidia puts spyware in their drivers

Vega 56 is the greatest graphics card ever made by amd. Some people who didn't buy a gtx 1080 or 1070 already still care.

A GPU generation/series from AMD.

Its using a ton of new types of tech but since it's basically one of a kind/new, it had issues and delays. Also has high power draw.
The professional cards trade blows with nvidias quadro series.
The RX "gaming series" just released and don't meet the hype. Had they come out a year ago as planned they would be received better.

The Vega 56 is actually a good alternative to the 1070 but miner fags will buy them all.

>What is undervolting

>>61919862
Yeah
Good luck getting that card.

Unfortunately it's also more cost effective to mine with than 64.

You better hope gpu mining becomes unprofitable before xmas

So It's like how Android 6 is KitKat and 7 is Marshmallow? kind of like that?. The 1080's are what? and what would the Vega's be model number wise?

I don't think that's very likely, there's ton of confidence in crypto right now. The only hope is that crypto starts to get away from PoW.

the 1080ti exists

>>61919943
so 64 gets less than a 470...riiiiight

>>61920070
470 gets around 28mh. 480 does 31mh.

A 1070 gets around 30mh.

It's a piece of fucking hardware. Shut up and buy something and get on with your life. I swear you autists have such problem making decisions because you were raised by non-men.

Miner software hasn't been updated to utilize Vega's new instruction set yet.

>>61921164
Vega 56, once you can actually undervolt and overclock it properly on newer drivers, is going to be as fast as a 1080 FE for $399. The 1070 is totally deprecated now.

>>61921252
But you can't buy one now. And you'll never see it for $399 either if mining continues at this rate.

Shut the fuck up about my mama!!

Overclockign was mostly not workign on review drivers so the sample size is limited, but the few that did get overclocking working on Vega 56 found that it pushed performance well past the 1070.
