Why would AMD do that, assuming they could do that in the first place?If they are smart they cripple this mining "feature" in RX Vega, via BIOS and drivers (or even better per laser cutting), and only activate it on Vega FE, or even higher priced, products.
So, everyone needs toGuy internally from one of the AIB's, maybe he is smoking the BS pipe.
ohhhh great. rumors about Vega being great for mining is not gonna help my chances of unboxing one soon
If the crypto mining performance jumps to 70-100 thingamajigs/s from the 30 it was known before, is it possible the gaming performance will enjoy the same jump on the final product?
I truly hope that NVIDIA nerfs gaming Volta's mining capabilities. Let the miners buy Quadros. AMD should do the same.
Pre-order one now and if you don't like it, you should probably be able to resell it at a premium if it's good at mining.
Too bad its not coming out til September. Hopefully quantities will be strong enough to satiate demand across all markets, crypto AND gaming. C'mon AMD.. you have all of Global Foundries and even Samsung on standby for production. I say that then I realize HBM2 is probably going to ensure quantities aren't enough.that vega 56 will be a selling star

You know, if Vega RX actually performs in mining like how the rumor goes, there would be a huge number of Polaris cards being sold off, and the price for them will drop like a rock.I hope Vega is that good at Mining, because maybe my 570 will finally come In Stock and Ship.
Using HBM2 was a mistake. Nvidia was smart to go with GDDR5X. The hype for Vega was insane. Every forum and website i been to were beating the Vega drum since the last 2 years.
When you build such insane levels of hype and anticipation, its bound to crash and burn hard.
Now we ride the Navi train. Let it build up as well. Navi the next revolutionary architecture from AMD. Navi the next coming of Christ.
People were hyping Vega around the time Fury X was released?Using HBM2 was a mistake. Nvidia was smart to go with GDDR5X. The hype for Vega was insane. Every forum and website i been to were beating the Vega drum since the last 2 years.
