RE: Nvidia Ampere GPUs + Nvidia vs Miners
If Pascal is still viable then why not refresh it? They already have the production yields nailed down and no real competition from AMD on the high end since Vega flopped on gaming. The amount of time Pascal has been on the market they have been able to make improvements on the clock speeds stability for the 1100 series.
Agreed. NVIDIA could be fine with a Pascal refresh.
I'm sure AMD will work on making improvements to Vega, as it did initially flop for gamers. (It has been great for miners, but...), especially since AMD is including Vega architecture in their new APUs and for APUs, they're looking impressive if the expected performance is anything to be believed.
But until AMD improves their high end, NVIDIA could totally do another Pascal refresh.
I think Vega 56 is a decent card if you can find it at MSRP, but they failed to have anything that competes with the 1080 Ti :(
