>The first and most important information is that there at least two SKUs for miners being prepared by NVIDIA. Allegedly there’s a GP104-100 card in the making, based on GTX 1080/1070 design. We don’t know yet how many CUDA cores are enabled, but since GP104-100 is said to be paired with GDDR5X memory it may as well be GTX 1080. These cards are said to be more efficient than normal GeForce cards in cryptocurrency mining (~30 to ~10% depending on SKU).
>30% more mining performance So, it'll finally match a 5 year old AMD GPU at mining then? Good to know nVidia are helplessly trying to hop on the cryptowagon. If only to see them fail helplessly at it.

>3 months warranty is it cheaper?
Evan Powell
>These cards will only have 3 months warranty
Bentley Butler
People use AMD because their card was cheaper tho
Luke Price
>just in time for the big crash
Grayson Jackson
you mean the buy dip
Nathan Roberts
>paying two times for the card to get 20W less usage Yeah, that's retarded. Just because the 1070 can mine doesn't mean you're going to buy one specifically to do it. These Nvidia cards are likely still going to be overpriced as fuck and no match for AMD cards at mining. Plus, if they're using GDDR5X, they're already fucked, apparently it actually performs worse at mining than normal GDDR5.

>GDDR5X actually performs worse at mining than normal GDDR5.
Wut? Also the 1070 use 'normal' GDDR5...
Jason Rivera
How hard is it to get into mining? I have an interest in it,but I don't know where to start.
Luke Powell
Bump for this
Thomas Cook
>How do you get into mining?
How do I breathe?

This is true, but only for ethereum. Nvidia cards, especially 1080 (ti) are better at mining other coins like zcash.
Also it's already kinda too late to get into mining because ethereum will soon switch to PoS algo, making mining useless.
Mason Diaz
did you try googling "how to start mining"
Ethan Clark
Anyone want a little money?

At least Nvidia is handing this correctly
AMD just fucked over their own prices and following.
