You're a Cuda Miner.
That is all.
I am, I have fallen in love with how well nvidia cards just work for this. No fighting the driver crashes, having to have a screen plugged in to overclock etc.
Oh and your face is a cuda miner

At least in Germany, all Polaris cards are sold, all Pascal in stock and at pre-mining craze price points, so, for some reason, cuda miners don't chase nvidia cards that much.
What year is it...

The same year it always is the year AMD's drivers don't work correctly.

a mining card should be beefed up compared to a gaming gpu as it will see 24/7 use at near max load.
upgraded vrms, memory cooling, larger cooling system with ball bearing fans, extra pcie jack. maybe a pcie 1x connector instead of 16x.
should be interesting how they build it and at a decent cost (ie cheaper that a gaming varient.

So far all of the rumored pictures show forced air cooling based heatsinks designed for server chassis on a pcie 16x slot.
It would be quite interesting to know how much production cost can be saved once you get rid of all video-oriented features. It's not just the cost of chips and interfaces - it's also licenses and patents needed. Moreover, you don't have to do much marketing (cards are being bought anyway), you don't have to stock them for long and so on.
It might turn out that making a really robust, enterprise-grade GPGPU costs just as much as a well featured gaming model.
