Will add more info as i find it :)

2/3 the power requirement of the 6900XT for 1/2 the CUs, etc.

Shouldn't we expect a bit better than that, in terms of power consumption at least...

Probably not because there are other parts on the PCB such as 12 vs 16 GB worth of memory modules.
Also, 186 of 300 is 62%, and with underclocking and undervolting the card will reach 140W while not losing more than 5 (for example)% performance.

If crypto keeps going up and up, you (or I) won't be able to buy another GPU ever again :p

Bot and miners (and miners with bots) rule the landscape atm.

Aren't these cards too slow for mining, and the break-even too far away to even consider and think about it?

No I think all bets are off with current crypto prices. Bitcoin, Eth, and all the others have shot up and keep climbing. Record highs in the last couple days.

I hate it, but that's the reality.

There is very high level of risk - these prices may fall tomorrow and we cannot predict it.

RX 6800 XT is given 4.67$ profit per day.
If the RX 6700 XT can mine at 2.3$ profit per day and the investment in your rig is just 600$, you will need 261 days of non-stop mining to even break-even. If the prices and profit remains the same.
 
The problem is in AMD - why hasn't it blocked the mining options from all of its gaming cards, so some of the product shipped may eventually reach out to the gaming community?

AMD won't care who is buying their cards, gamers or miners, or even gamers who mine when not gaming. Their business is to sell the cards to whoever wants them. If AMD blocked mining somehow, the miners would simply buy Nvidia, so AMD loses all those sales. It will never happen, why would they restrict who buys their product, it doesn't make business sense.

This is all wrong.
AMD could offer Mining Editions and separate the lines - I didn't suggest that it should stop altogether the sales of mining cards, just not Radeons... :rolleyes:

That then splits the production line even more, so less 'gaming' GPUs would be available. If they are selling more GPUs to miners than gamers then they would prioritise the mining line to maximise profits. Afterall that is what they are in business for, to make money.

It also destroys resale value, meaning miners will try to buy gaming cards over mining cards anyhow.
