Vega 64 performance

[zhoulander]

so 5 vega 64s then?

Plus an i3-6120

Added one more card to my rig and had a nightmare of a time getting it to run.

Wasted a better part of the day on it...

This is a recurring theme for me with Vega. The portion of your quote above applies equally no matter what you insert before, during, or after it.

How much hash do you need to solo mine?

I've been considering trying that with Sumokoin.

I really like Sumokoin.

I just ordered one......STH sure has cost me a lot of money since I joined.

 

[Joel]

Yup. I told my friend that back when I was PC gaming 15 years ago, the most I ever spent on a video card was $200. With this latest purchase I have $2500 in video cards alone!

I have 3 vega cards , total cost $1415 ( including sales tax with Newegg ), each card cost $471.

Using http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/MoneroMiningCalculator/path?hashrate=2000&powerCost=0.28&poolFee=0.6&power=180

Monthly profit is $156 per card after power cost , would need 3 month ROI .

Are you still mining Monero with your Vegas?

 

[Marsh]

Yes , vega cards are still mining monero.
CPU miner are mining at STH aeon pool with Hash Rate: 87.72 KH/sec

I need to be patience , 2.5 more months to go for Vega ROI. Hopefully XMR don't go bust .

What xmr pools would you recommend?

Thanks

Bought it

I mine at minexmr.com
use the ca.minexmr.com server for less latency.

With minergate can you mine many cryptos to olay the game where you mine a coin that has a lower difficulty and then just trade it for say bitcoin? I’m such a noob.

Cuz won’t difficulty go up a bunch even with Aeon? And then one could extend the usefulness of GPUs by using other coins.

what does everyone think the resale value of the FE card would? I think the gaming version vega cards would hold their value better then workstation version? I also did quick search online and some reported FE card isnt great for mining. Any thoughts? I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on the card due to those two concerns.

Shoot. Add me to the interested pool. I might sell mine or return it if it doesn’t mine well.

FYI: A lot of Newegg items are non-returnable including this Vega FE:

• Return Policies
• • Return for refund within: Non-refundable
  • Return for replacement within: 30 days

I read on Reddit, mining with the Vega FE card is different than Vega 64/56 Card.
All the tweaking and tunning may not work the same for Vega FE card.

There is a thread now on Reddit

Oh well impulse buy. Looks like eBay or just try to make them work.

 

[gigatexal]

It looks like the FE card might be too much hassle / not supported well enough from AMD. Anyone want to buy it for 50 less than I paid?
