Actually almost in 1080ti territory. GTX1070: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?N=100007709 601202919&IsNodeId=1&Submit=ENE $700+ :eek3: GTX 1080: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...48&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=36 $515-550 Apparently, this due to the 1070 being a better mining card than the 1080 (GDDR5x latency hurts mining performance). This of course for the U.S. market, Euro market likely very different due to higher electricity costs.
Agree GTX1070 are better in mining mainly in Ethereum and NiceHash plus they're cheaper or been cheaper as well Hope this helps Thanks,Jura
1070 can do 32 MH/s 1080 its around 22-24 MH/s (basically what 1060 does) 1080 ti can do 32 MH/s that's why 1070 is around 1080 ti prices, performs similar at hashing in ETH.
I'm really glad I built my current rig right before bitcoin shot up in value, I managed to pick up a GTX 1070 for $519 aud (392.75 usd) and I'm thinking of selling mine and waiting for Vega.
If I rebought my memory now I would be paying £120 instead of the £80 I bought it for In fact, looking at my amazon orders for january 2016, every single thing I bought for this computer has increased in price, usually only a small amount, but if I rebought the same PC it would cost about £100 more at least. Lotta tech getting more expensive
You guys are looking at it all wrong. It is time to SELL your 1070/1060 and upgrade to 1080/1080 Ti. Win win in my book.
Vega with HBM2 should be a beast at hashing in ETH, HBM2 has tighter latency than even GDDR5. So expect Vega to fly off the shelves extremely quickly, just a heads up.
and with a commensurately high price. If double hash rate of 1070, then likely double the price. $1400?
Except it isn't. I mined 25 ethereum a few months back with my 4gb 480. At the time that was worth $350 total. I sold 20 just about a week ago and got $7400 total, with 5 coins left. Not to mention the bitcoin I mined back in the day with my 6850 :banana:
Yes. Spoiler It's a joke. But seriously for actual gamers wanting a better video card to play video games it would be a pretty good time to take advantage of this retarded moment driven by miners.
