Sapphire and ASUS to sell GPU cards made specially for cryptocurrency mining!
I rememeber when in 2013/14 it was hard ot buy any GPUs due to whole boom on cryptocurrency. Currently due to raise of ETH price also loads of shops dont have GPUs to sell, and people sell overpriced cards on ebay and alikes.
It took few years but now Sapphire - the best AMD cards producer decided to make cards not for gaming but for mining and market them this way!
NVIDIA had rumours of making headless cards but Sapphire just announced they have them almost ready.
There will be AMD Radeon RX 470 and 560 cards tweaked for cryptocurrency mining usage.
They are currently available for preorder.
Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Mining Edition 8GB
Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Mining Edition 8GB(Samsung)
Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Mining Edition 4GB
Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Mining Edition 4GB (Samsung)
Sapphire Radeon RX 560 Mining Edition 4GB
To reduce cost of making they will be withotu display outputs. The Samsung chip cards are said to overclock better than usual. Card will have just 1 year warranty due to expected overuse ;)
ASUS Joins
We dont know many details yet and its not officialy signed by NVIDIA or GeFOrce brands but its already listed by using their system at MINING-P106-6G. Details below.
They also gonna sell ASUS MINING-RX470-4G based on similar as Sapphire system with ports on the card but not usable.
I expect soon this GPU companies may start producing ASIC chips and this is where its gonna get interesting.
Current Best Coins to GPU Mine
Ethereum and its a likes with HUSH (based on Zcash) looking good. NiceHash auto choose of coins and algos works good as always too. Just register to their site and download miner - it will auto choose best coin and best alog for your computer setup (on windows!).

I have not mined in a few years but would consider getting back into it as a hobby. Would be a great project to do with the kids. Where I live electricity is expensive so it's not highly profitable but it's certainly educational and fun!
I have been trading cryptos for some time now but I am thinking about setting up a rig... Does anyone on Steemit have any recommendations? I am making a shopping list of items on my wish list. Does anyone have a list of top of the line items that should be on list? Just trying to get into it as a hobby. Thanks mates.
It comes for a price similar to a GTX-1060 while the performance is almost the same. In that case is better to buy a GTX 1060 because you can also use it for gaming, or you can sell it:

Totally agree.
People forgot that those mining cards will be difficult to be sold.
Real 1060s are better for me.
That's true but, I have seen some old Bitcoin ASIC miners being sold for quite a bit on Amazon. Given many of them could not even make back in electricity what it costs to run them. Seems people are willing to pay for miners without doing the math first. Still like you said an Old legit GPU would probably be easier to sale.
I don't think math matters these days. People are buying for coin appreciation.
Make sure you pick a crypto that isn't about to get a difficulty bomb.
have you tried checking on a few profitability calculator sites ?

Could be worth taking a look!
The blue pills are 1 dollar the red pills are crypto's :
Time to buy some Asus shares then. NVIDIA and AMD shares when boom because of crypto mining cards.
you nailed it. At this point they are the only ones gonna get rich.
Yeah What do i need to set up a GPU rig i need that
This is awesome! I hope this also makes it easier for me to finally buy an AMD card at market price for gaming!!
yes it will be
This is genius, businesses that stay in business pay attention to the market. I live in the Silicon Valley and my 3 buddies who I workout with are at NVIDIA literally 5 blocks from my house told me last week Wednesday they had a meeting about an off campus NVIDIA mining building they were projecting this Fall in Gilroy, CA. BOOM!
I'm surprised they haven't done this earlier. If you go to your local computer store nowadays, it is very likely that decent AMDs are all sold out. The problem here is that the gamer market isn't able to get ahold of video cards, while miners are buying out video cards that aren't optimized for mining. This will be a win-win-win situation for gamers, miners and the company's bottom line.
First of all, thanks to for such a great content. it is always wonderful to read your blog post. your post always helps me for any problem.

My GTX 1080Ti gets a great hashrate on its own.
1080Ti is in same range as Titans . Titans are ahead of 1080Ti but not much
My friend gets like 40 MH/s, what is ur hashrate ?
Thanks Kings,
In Addition,
You might have to wait to upgrade your graphics card. The increasing popularity of the Ethereum cryptocurrency has caused "miners," who essentially earn units of the cryptocurrency by having their GPUs solve complex math problems, to buy out many mid-range graphics cards. Prices are rising, supply is falling, and now companies like Asus want to appeal directly to miners with new graphics cards.
Last week, the problem was mostly limited to AMD's RX 500-series and Nvidia's GTX 1070. It was nigh impossible to find RX 500-series graphics cards anywhere, and the price of GTX 1070 graphics cards almost reached parity with the more powerful GTX 1080, which have been mostly unaffected by the mining craze so far. The lower-end GTX 1060 also had its price inflated into the $250-$350 range, but was less affected, as miners focused on the GTX 1070.
Hey Kingscrown, can I ask where you had your gif/pic made at the bottom of your post? Did you do it yourself? Very cool haha
@kingscrown , It has been very difficult to find new or used (inflated prices) video cards. I wonder if this is due to complaints from their core market (the gamers), rather than a calculated interest in the future of GPU mining. Recently I have been pondering what may come of the Ethereum switch from PoW to PoS. I believe that miners will continue to mine another PoW coin, and it appears that major GPU manufacturers are betting on that too. Another great post! Thx again
haha sorry @kingscrown , I forgot to ask what you think?
It's about time that one of these card manufacturers actually picked up on this and are focusing on it. Although I am sure there are some Gamers grinding their teeth at the idea of using a video card for something other than gaming, way to tap into a growing Market on the part of Asus.
