Nvidia news
1170s are 30% faster than a 1080Ti and uses less power.
10 series were about the same interval boost over the 9's.
7 series we will pretend we never met those.- Reason for launch delay: They were overloaded with parts from OEMs and needed to sell them all.
- Hot Chips event in Aug - seems to be likely for release
Strategy for getting card on release day?
- Ref cards suck - FE suck - loud - bad cooling - at least last 2 gen
- Wait for vendor cards
- We are thinking we probably need a ref card for the lab to get a jump on the dev.
- Expected price? ~$500-800

- gputool improvements:
- the update function was bad, now it works great. and is human readable. AND it works to remove a card or to add a card in now!
- there's still no amd bus serial number / uuid yet, due to their way of subbing out mfg; but we have it for nvidia so far.
- changes coming. new amd pal may make it right.
- new/returning miners
- ewbf comes back
- z-enemy and claymore updates
- unsure why no equihash variants from claymore zcash-amd miner - he doesn't respond to us
PiMP 2.8.1 status - just a few bugs to work out
