Rx vega 64 wrecks polaris in crypto mining

It's still the first days for VEGA, but miners aren't wasting time capitalizing on all that computing power in cryptocurrency mining. The rumors about AMD RX VEGA 64 and its incredible mining capabilities emerged about a month ago and today it seems like they are being confirmed.

Miners are still searching for the best combinations of performance and energy efficiency, but a Reddit user has shared his achievement with an RX VEGA 64, who has cast himself on the RX 480.

RX VEGA 64 achieved a mining performance of 43.5MH / s on each graphics card with a consumption of 248W. In comparison the RX 480 achieves a performance of 25MH / s with a consumption of 160W. This performance has been tested with the Ethereum coin.

To achieve this the GPU has been configured with a clock speed of 1000MHz with a power target of -24%, while the memory was set at 1100MHz.

The user also comments that the performance that can be achieved with the RX VEGA 56 is very similar, so it would be much more convenient to go for this card if you want to do mining, since it is cheaper.

With these results, we have no doubt that this new generation of AMD graphics cards are going to be a sales success, not thanks especially to the players, but thanks to the miners looking for coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, among others.
