Three Vega 56 gpu's mining XMR at 5400 H/s , 1800 H/s EACH!!!!

[Klee]

3xVega56 doing ~4860H/s @ ~670W. Vega is proving to be excelent for Monero. • r/MoneroMining

He already beat his old record.

Two threads per gpu.

Too bad they are sold out everywhere or stupid expensive......

I read the Reddit thread earlier, then I google the vega 56 are in stock in Newegg.com @$549.
I do not follow the price of video cards, so I have no idea is expensive or not.

Cheaper buy-in but less power efficient than EPYC by quite a large margin.

Yea, but its only available as a "package" with a mobo and Ryzen cpu or monitor or some sort of foolishness.

On the other hand, for anything other than crypto mining, EPYC CPUs are more useful.

Is this a OK price for this card?

Using the latest numbers from the reddit thread (1800H/s at 190W), a single RX Vega 56 yields 9.4H/s/W. This beats the numbers posted by @Klee (1736H/s at 401W, or 4.3H/s/W) for a single OCP Windmill server running four E5-2660s by a healthy margin. I do wonder about long-term reliability however. My money is on the server being the more robust option, although that could simply be confirmation bias.

I note that a local reseller has 30+ RX Vega 56 cards for sale at $918 NZD each, or about $665 USD at the current exchange rate. If you remove local sales tax, this reduces to $579 USD. Given that these cards are sitting at the end of a very long supply chain (New Zealand being a long way from everywhere), it makes me think that the $549 USD price quoted by @Marsh is a little steep...

That's nice. Prob with mining cards is that they can get dumped before payback esp if you wait to not buy at a premium. @Klee can also get his OCP servers.

Imo @Klee needs to get Iceland farm up and running
