ETH Mining: Lower VRAM GPUs to be Rendered Unprofitable in Time

[cdawall]

fiji is pretty poor at mining eth in general from what I've seen with mods to memory timing to get more bandwidth on a 480/580 you can get higher hash rates than any fiji card lol

To be fair you can normally beat Fiji with a 390x

It looks like the 8Gb RX 480 also drops at higher dag and if ethereum really does move to proof of stake will it even matter anyway, probably not.

According to the Ethereum Developers, The PoS Model will be accompanied by a PoW model as a hybrid process where PoW and PoS are used concurrently.

Hello, I have made a DAG file calc for coins based on Ethereum algorithm visit to see current DAG size and hit time for mining GPUs

Yet another thing to thank cryptocurrencies for.
