O.OMy Sapphire Nitro+ OC RX 480 8GB just sold for £390 delivered via eBay 7 day auction![]()
O.O
That's brand new GTX1080 money, how stupid and ignorant of how mining works does somebody have to be to pay that much for an RX480 XD
Where are these sub £400 1080s?

People are really not understanding why the RX cards are going for more than 1060/70/80.
Everyone is mining Ethereum. That's why. That's where the huge spike in value is. The RX cards are simply better, at lower power, for mining Ethereum. Simple. It's not "bitcoins" people are mining. Sure you can mine something else with a Nvidia card better than an RX. But what you mine will be worth 100x less than Ethereum. (At the moment)
Nice setup you've got there. Easier to keep things nice and reliable for 24/7 running when the cards generate such little heat.Really.?
Cheapest GTX 1060's are doing 23MH/s of Ethereum mining at 60% TDP which is what 70W from the wall.? Now do your math.
RX series is better if you want to maximise hashrate per motherboard.
Looks like that'll change soon when Nvidia release their mining specific driver.People are really not understanding why the RX cards are going for more than 1060/70/80.

Here's why there is a shortage

I really don't get why people pay so much for the RX series when GTX 1060 can do 80% of the hashrate at 50% of the power and 50% of the cost.
I'm running 6 x 1060 and they're doing 23MH/s at 60% TDP. Oh and all 6 of them together are running quieter than one reference RX 480 whilst also staying cooler.

Good to see the 3Gb cards doing 23MH/s, good result, is that stock? You tried an OC or custom bios?
I would expect they will. I assume the mining cards are using the standard drivers at the moment.Wonder if it'll work with normal 1060's but knowing Nvidia probably not.
