[One of many sources](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/07/amd-rx-vega-64-56-specs-price-release-date/) Exciting news for us waiting long for Vega. Was about to order a 1080 ti rig, but will hang tight for this one. ---

Yap 😃 But - proper drivers/miners will not be ready before end of month -Electricity, what they need is 2x8pins, more than 200w… So not sure about them for mining but cant wait to test them on my gaming machine… ---

There’s rumours about each Vega doing almost 100 Mh/s on Ethereum, but I call bullshit. However I think 50 Mh/s might be possible and would be incredible. ---

Just checked my wholesale source. They are now listed (previously not) but they don’t have an ETA yet. My wholesale price is already above MSRP. ☹ ---

its around 35mn/s ☹ Recommended prices are not correct (+100usd even more)… Only good thing AMD is making mining drivers for RX… Vega so far only for gaming or if you really have cheap electricity… ---
