why 

GPU mining (perhaps) and people that like to be on the hype train. We don't even know how powerful the new cards will be. and yet people are blindly buying them.

Yeah the 20 series does not look like it will be that much better for mining, at least not with current mining tech, the 10 series would sell out first, because they are cheaper to purchase and operate.

Oh BoY a UfD tEcH vIdEo!!!!    This guy... like he is not awful, and puts out decent content for the most part, but I don't consider myself a fan.

 

But seriously... that's just speculation... people need to just stop speculating already...

 

Plus IMO he makes a pretty bad argument about the 4 RX 580s being a better value for mining than a single 2080 ti because though 4 RX 580s have a bit higher hash rate  in total, they also probably use more power than one RTX 2080 ti

 

Edit: after some quick googling. 4 RX 580s average about 650 watts for 175 megahash and 1 RTX 2080 ti with a speculated 70 megahash has a supposed TDP of 260 watts. So 4 RX 580s have 0.269 megahash per watt and the RTX 2080 ti is also 0.269 megahash per watt... so they're literally about the same. Soooo yeahhhh...

Yes, the RX580 have a similar power efficiency while mining. But does that not speak in the 580's favor? Because if you note the 175 megahash is would be 2 1/2 times the the speculated/estimated capabilities of the 2080ti, which means that as long as the revenue out paces the electric costs, then you would pay the RX580s of significantly faster and bring in a significantly larger profit. I mean using the numbers that you have provided it is obvious that the RX 580s would be a better investment, due to the increase performance per dollar value of the cards, it would be like trying to decide whether to pick up a 1060 3GB or a 1070 if for some crazy reason they were priced equally... Which would you choose?

No? Theyd be about equal? cause the RX 580s use about 2 and half times more power.

Yes you would earn just as much profit PER WATT, but because it has 2 1/2 time the mining power, it would be like having 2 1/2 2080 TIs. So the overall profit margins would be larger, and because of that it would be easier to pay off the upfront cost of the card, Here is another example: You are an entrepreneur looking to purchase some property for your new factories, and one option you have is to setup a factory in location A, the property look sleek, shiny and new, but remember this is a factory not some luxury hotel, or you could purchase property B which isn't so fancy, and set it up for a similar price, once setup though the total production cost per unit would be the same, and the demand for the product will not be affected by the increase production of your factories, and the total production volume would amount to 2 1/2 times that of property. Which would be the better option? Answer option B because you would be able to bring in 2 1/2 time the profit, due to the fact that there is 2 and a 1/2 times the volume, and the production cost per unit is the same whether you select option A or B, thereby allowing for you to pay off the cost of your investment that much faster.
