AMD RX Vega 64 Eclipses Polaris In Ethereum Mining Efficiency By 2X – Achieves 43.5MH/s At 130W

It’s still early days for Vega, but miners aren’t wasting anytime exploiting the immense compute capability of AMD’s new graphics cards. Rumors erupted just weeks ahead of the GPU’s launch earlier last month about its incredible cryptocurrency mining capabilities. Although the touted figures at the time were too fantastical for the real world and the rumors were quickly proven to be false.
However, given enough time to tweak and optimize miners have already managed to push Vega’s mining efficiency to no less than double that of Polaris. One redditor shared his incredible achievement earlier today, pushing both of his RX Vega 64 to deliver more than 43.5MH/s with each card pulling no more than 130 watts from the wall. By comparison, in our Ethereum mining performance roundup the RX 480 yielded just under 25MH/s whilst pulling roughly 160 watts.
