    Why do GCN Architecture chips tend to use more power than comparable Pascal/Maxwell Chips?

    ahhhh I remember years ago, at aceshardware there were discussions how much benefit in terms of power a custom design gives... it was Intel vs AMD back then. My wild-wild guess is anywhere from 10 to 50%. "Easily" (I mean you can get as much if you have the manpower to research it) Given how bad...

    CryptoCurrency Mining with GPUs *spawn*

    heh .. an year and half ago ROI was like 4-5 months... but I was too afraid of implosion :( and invested only 1k euro. And then reinvested half of profit... 20 cards atm and 1btc in exchanges/wallets I prefer to laugh on myself :D

    AMD Vega Hardware Reviews

    Its not clear from his posts what cards he has, but given that AMD supposedly fixed their drivers for Vega,Fiji &Polaris (increasing ethereum speed with bigger DAGs) because of his input... I prefer to beleive him https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg20464462#msg20464462 He claims...

    AMD Vega Hardware Reviews

    70-100 is bullshit We have some anonymous guy vs Claymore who made best miners for AMD So 30MH@100W for 1070 vs 35MH@300W, not even funny

    AMD Vega Hardware Reviews

    Looks like Vega is DOA for end users. Everything will go for pro-market, they'll sell 1000 cards worldwide to review sites and amd fans... Noone in his mind will prefer it for gaming instead of 1080/1080ti

    AMD Vega 10, Vega 11, Vega 12 and Vega 20 Rumors and Discussion

    there is no bad marketing What if AMD is going to show us the impossible - make a PR event and admit they have inferior product which is twice more power hungry?

    AMD Vega 10, Vega 11, Vega 12 and Vega 20 Rumors and Discussion

    No, best chance (for vega&amd) is if these pro-cards are from 1st chip revision which was faulty somehow, and game-cards will be later, fixed one (Barcelona TLB-like)
