1080 TI - new best bang for buck?

[NikosD]

VEGA is already faster than 1080 in OpenCL benchmarks. Take a look at the bitcoin mining.

Mining has historically been an AMD game, and I strongly suspect no one is paying attention to Nvidia nor knows how to properly optimize for Nvidia. So mining benchmarks aren't at all a reflection of actual GPU performance.

The problem, serious problem, for Pascal 1080 is that, as you can obviously see, it looses ALL but one OpenCL benchmarks to VEGA.

You guys of hashcat must try too hard for Nvidia to win this battle with VEGA in OpenCL cracking.

Unless the OpenCL preliminary benchmarks are too biased for AMD, like you are for Nvidia.

Thankfully atom is in the middle, so I'm pretty sure VEGA is going to be clearly faster than 1080 and without thermal or power throttles.

After RyZen, now VEGA seems to be in a very good path after years.

2017 will be AMD's year.
