it's not about if it new, it's how it performs and the old supply and demand coming into play. You might eat your words in the future though, should Ethereum overtake Bitcoin and/or the internet.

How long is the current ROI for these cards, 6 months? Seems like a long time to hope prices remain similar.

Out of interest, could you crossfire a mining card with a regular card? You only need one display output after all, and crossfire is handled over the pci bus now I believe... interesting.

You'd be a fool to buy one of these for gaming, the value for money is shocking.

I bought 2x RX470 for £132 when they came out. This is crazy

Which judging by last nights crash may be soon XD

Smart move releasing mining cards. When the market gets flooded with them after a crash, they are of little use to gamers

I'm not in the mining loop but is this the beginning of the end of shortages for gamers now?

Too soon to say, depends on whether the value will start to rise again i'd imagine.

SLI as a second card? Doesnt need monitor outputs.. (no idea if that would even work)

AFAIK SLI still requires a bridge connector, Xfire doesn't anymore though so that may work.

Probably not, this is the two main opposing views of what should happen with Bitcoin coming to a head. The uncertainty is causing this crash and will likely recover quickly once everyone knows what is happening, deadline is 1st August.
