EVGA would be developing a GTX 1060 Miner Edition and Sapphire a RX 470 for mining
EVGA announces that it is developing a GTX 1060 Miner Edition, similar to the one that NVIDIA would have developed based on the GTX 1060 and in addition, Sapphire would be developing an RX 470 specifically developed for mining.
The disappearance of the market for AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards due to mining has led both companies to decide to launch exclusive products for mining. NVIDIA has announced a graphics-based mining system with the GP106-100 GPU, the same GPU used by the GTX 1060, with lower power consumption, more efficiency and performance only for mining, so much so that it does not have connectors Of video. We must remember that Zcash is best mined with NVIDIA and Ethereum is best mined with AMD.
EVGA on its own is developing new solutions for hardware, in this case it would have developed the GTX 1060 Miner Edition graphics card, which has a 6GB bandwidth and will hit the market next July. This graphics card will be exclusively for mining cryptocurrencies, therefore, video outputs have not been provided, so they cannot be used for gaming. Regarding the specifications, this graph will have a base frequency of 1506MHz and a Boost mode of 1708MHz. The memories in this case work at 8008MHz and a 192bits memory bus.

It is not clear if this graphics card will reach the whole world or will be limited to some markets or will be distributed internationally, but what has been said is that in principle it will be sold in Asia and will have certain limitations regarding the warranty. . Until now, it was NVIDIA who had developed a graphics card especially, but now it has been one of the manufacturers who works with NVIDIA who launched an exclusive product for mining and it hit the market in July. It is speculated that this chart would reach Malaysia in the first instance with $ 300.

Sapphire on the other hand has explained that they are developing an RX 470 especially for mining, but this will be limited in some markets and it would have a DVI-D connector, to connect a monitor. AMD has managed to run out of stock of RX 580/480/570/470, which are being very popular for mining due to the good quality / price evaluation. We must emphasize that at the price of Ethereum and Zcash, it is constantly rising and that currently, taking into account the price of the products and the necessary electricity, the investment would be recovered in approximately four months and the rest would be profits. We will not get rich, but at the end of the month it can be interesting money.
What bothers me most about these cards is the limited warranty they give to the end user 🙁
If you buy it in Spain, by law, they have to give you a two-year guarantee, but if you buy it from another country and import it, I'm not so clear about it.
That if they arrive, anyway this type of 'graphics' cards are nothing new, in banking they were already used a few years ago, anyway, I wonder if this type of card can be used for video / 3d rendering ...
