I was wasting some time online and, for some reason, I ended going to HardOCP before realizing it was dead... only to find out that it's not as dead as I thought. Now it's just like a blog from Kyle Bennett, that started a couple weeks ago, and the last post is about the 3050 and 6500XT cards recently unveiled.
The reason I say all that is for what he says about those cards:
"The 3050 and its 8GB of VRAM is capable of mining Ethereum. The 6500XT and its 4GB of VRAM is not capable of mining Ethereum. It has been shown many times that 4GB is sufficient for almost every person wanting to game at 1080P." (...)
"The proof in the pudding about my theory here will be how the actual retail prices settle out. I am guessing that we will see the 6500XT stick a lot closer to its MSRP than the 3050 will."
0.o I hadn't thought about that!
By the way, he still seems to have something against Nvidia, something to keep in mind.
Please excuse my bad English.
