No not really they are too expensive, sadly. No way to cheat the system at this point.

yes, that true. Even people who tried Nvidia mining cards are not finding any difference the 1060, may be same applies for Radeon mining cards. It good to have more warranty and resell value then those expensive mining cards

At those prices (Pound converted to Euro), they are more expensive than the regular cards here, so I’m cheaper off buying the “fat” cards (which have resell value, and it looks that stock is becoming available) here locally or 2nd hand cards on ebay

Sir, Sapphire also launched, see this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/search?sSearch=mining+edition&campaign=affiliate/tag

You can pre order Sapphire mining cards at : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/search?sSearch=mining+edition&campaign=affiliate/tag

It seems the prices of the “mining only” card are already higher (and rising) then announced (at least in Europe) .
Anyone knows where to buy them outside the UK ?

do let us know if you get info about release date or price

I have seen sell posts for those cards and it was indeed the latter amount, so sell your house, move into a garage and have an order filled :-p

Power consumption isn’t really relevant for that specific GPU. The
actual expected ROI is 2 months. Say, the power consumption will be a
wooping 300W of the wall (which is a lot), but say it
is 300W. Even then, the ROI gets from 2 months to 3 months. I mean, at
this point, power consumption matters little, in my opinion. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/eth?HashingPower=26&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=300&CostPerkWh=0.13

The power consumption could be around 150w max.

Same thing about re-selling it – the GP106-100 is meant to be a quick
buck mining GPU. You are right that RX 4xx and 5xx can be re-sold to
gamers, but it is also important to remember that games evolve too. In
one or two years, the price of the RX 4xx and 5xx might be one fifth of
what they cost today..
