They're probably the best video card at the moment in terms of price, availability, power consumption and performance. 5700s can do about 51 Mhash/s for about 120-135 watts at the wall when optimized for lowest power usage (and without resorting to BIOS flashing).Anyone here mining ETH with Navi 10 cards? Curious on 5600XTs in particular.

I'm also liking the idea of a single high hashrate card like the VII.
I can tell you once they get here. I ordered two (refurb, triple-fan Gigabyte OC models) from Newegg the other night. Review mentioned that they shipped with the old (12Ghz memory) BIOS, and that you have to visit Gigabyte's site, and there's three different BIOS upgrades, depending on WHICH initial BIOS that you have on the card. Funfunfun. But the new BIOS should give you 14Ghz memory.Anyone here mining ETH with Navi 10 cards? Curious on 5600XTs in particular.
Why would anyone want to mine to that pool versus the existing ones?
Side note: Nvidia's Ampere series is clearly a winner in eth mining compared to RDNA2. The 256-bit bus will really hamper the thing. About the same level as RX 5700.
I fit into that category.the only people who should be gpu mining are those who only have electical heating during winter.
This might be true, which could be unfortunate in a way. I suspect they will be a bit faster due to higher memory clocks and new arch, but not by a whole lot. Of course depends on software optimization as well. We shall see.Well, its 0.9% fee versus 1% for others, and minimum payout is only 0.01 eth.
I could see some trying it out. But for consistency its generally better to be in a pool with a larger use base.

I don't know that to be true, yet.Side note: Nvidia's Ampere series is clearly a winner in eth mining compared to RDNA2. The 256-bit bus will really hamper the thing. About the same level as RX 5700.

RedPandaMining (YT) estimated that the RX 6800/6800XT/6900XT would hit 75/80/85-90 MH/sec on ETH.
Nicehash.com has already published a page on RTX 3080 ETH hashrates, AIB models hit 59MH/sec, FE hits 50MH/sec. Not that much better, and arguably, worse performance/watt for hashing ETH than an RX 5700/5700XT, which can hit 51MH/sec (my 5700 can).
Very good. The IC prevents repeated access to main memory for reusable data & code. I don't see how this can ever be used for computation that uses unique data sequentially, causing the cache to want to update faster than the memory bus can accomodate.The architecture of the GPU doesn't matter for eth. Only memory bandwidth does.
The theoretical maximum throughput is memory bandwidth divided by 8192. This is why Polaris is on the 28-32MH/s range. The actual throughput falls slightly short of the max.
You can see from the videos that the 3080 can already reach 85-95MH/s. Some even do 100MH/s, but will need overclocks. It's the 3070 that'll be on the level of RX 5700.
