The upcoming ASUS CMP 40HX mining card has been tested and appears to offer mining speeds of up to 43.77 MH/s which is significantly higher than the 36 MH/s advertised by NVIDIA. The ASUS CMP 40HX cards were working in a power-optimized cluster and likely had memory clock speeds adjusted to achieve the 21% increase in hash speeds. The NVIDIA CMP 40HX is based on the TU106-100 GPU and was expected to launch in the first quarter but this release has been delayed with board partners still testing. The ASUS CMP 40HX will reportedly launch for 699 USD while the ASUS CMP 30HX launch price will be reduced from 799 USD to 599 USD.

Still not competitive.

ETH hashrates of half a 3080 for the same MSRP. In fact, the MSRP hashrate/$ is barely on par with a price-scalped 3080, and the elephant in the room is actually every Polaris/Vega/Navi card on Ebay, which have the advantage of not being a total write-off when you want to sell them because they have video outputs.

The problem with making a mining range out of Turing silicon is that Turing was utterly shit at mining; Basically outclassed by stuff one-third the cost, and at a higher power draw, which is super-important as well. I bought a pallet of RX570 8GB mining cards in 2019 for around €120 a piece, and because they had video outputs, just replaced the BIOSes on them with the regular BIOS to get our office 40 RX570's for a steal. At the time, the 2070 this 40HX is based off was selling for $500/€500....

Maybe we could buy them for cheap, stick them on the B150 mining board with some risers, and get a giant F@H machine.

This good will that Nvidia is trying to earn with gamers, is actually hurting them more. At first they made us think they're making dedicated mining chips, but no they're just taking old chips, which could have been used as stock for gaming cards. Then they price this at 700? That just justifies that scalper pricing.

Very soon was mentioned by many at the start of 2021. :D

I'll say that this mining craze will be here for at least 6months, sadly...

The higher end mining specific cards will be Ampere based, and beasts compared to this.

I can't believe they are wasting time, energy and effort making these cards. They had next to nothing of anything. If anything they should just make older gaming GPUs so at least they can be re-used after someone has finished using them and wants to upgrade or whatever. I just don't get it...

Yep, just land-fill fodder. No resale value at all.

With beastly pricetags too.
This is just Nvidia trying to sell a 2060S for $699. I suspect that means that their higher end cards will just be a case of Nvidia trying to sell a 3080Ti for $4000.
