There is supposedly huge innovation with the Titan V and Tensor cores for deep learning and other arithmetic.
Some of these benches show huge performance jumps over the Titan Xp, multiple times the performance in many scenarios. Just as a support for my argument. I think the 2080 will be $700 and the 2080Ti will be $800, maybe $850.
It's possible because of slower progression with making more complex microprocessors that it's as much as $900 but right now all we have is speculation.
i think mining will just shift to use the new hardware
can i sli gigabyte gtx 1070 windforce 2x with zotac founders edition
im probably not i just wanna know
yes
it will just run at the speeds of the slowest card
ok
I'm assuming that nvidia is going to change the contract details with AIB partners, something along the lines of cards not being X% higher than MSRP, $1500 prices out 90% of users, unless this thing is literally double the performance of the 1080, then I'm not expecting it to sell. No matter what, though, this is just speculation still
@Bearchoyboi you can SLI any card of the same model. For the most part, you can match the same stable frequency with almost any version of the same Pascal model. Again, given poor optimization and lack of support entirely on many games, I don't recommend SLI, The best thing is a single 1080Ti. If you are still within return/exchange period with microcenter, the single 1080Ti is likely cheaper than both collectively as well, and if you truly do ever need more performance it gives you way more headroom in the future.
So let's say new Volta cards come out and the 2080 (not Ti) beats the 1080Ti, but at the time you already have 1x1080Ti, then you can get a cheaper second 1080Ti because of people reselling or reseller price drop.
theyre going to be 1500$ either way unless something happens to stop mining
as I said, nvidia is likely going to renegotiate contracts with vendors when volta releases
^ and aside from that, their is potential that they will make cards specifically for mining, and limit the firmware of the gaming cards to mine. It makes sense for them to do that because it gets them the crypto miner and gamer market at the same time.
mining GPUs aren't practical
a large reason why people like them is because of the resale value afterwards, you get to mine thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin, then you sell them at maybe 20-30% under what you bought them for
actually mining gpus dont get as good a hashrate as regular gpus
best mining gpus right now are the 1070tis
makes sense

repubs like crypto
The 1070Ti is far from the best mining GPU, lol. For ETH, XMR, ETN, BTC, LCN and way more, the best singular GPU is the Vega 64. Especially for Cryptonight algorithm based coins.
And if these mining GPU's had drastic advantages for hashing algorithms, the resell would be lower but the demand would be extravagant.
so that argument saying mining GPU's aren't practical is wrong. Especially because companies that make ASIC miners don't have damn near the capability of making compact, high efficient processors for specific functions. So if there were specifically miner designated cards, they could probably destroy current GPU's for hashing.
The only problem for all of us that are speculating, we don't know shit for details about what Nvidia actually intends on doing...
