AMD Radeon VII is the new king of Ethereum cryptocurrency mining

The AMD Radeon VII, AMD’s recent high-end graphics card, isn’t just great at pushing pixels while playing games, as it appears to be the new king of Ethereum cryptocurrency mining when it comes to performance.

According to VoskCoin, a member of the Bitcointalk forum, the Radeon VII is able to achieve a hash rate of 90MH/s without any tweaking. As Wccftech points out, this is almost three times the performance of the AMD RX Vega 64, and handily beats the 69MH/s hash rate of Nvidia’s powerful Titan V graphics card.

If you’re happy to do some tweaking to the GPU, then the AMD Radeon VII will perform even better, with a hash rate of between 90MH/s and 100MH/s.

These impressive results are in part thanks to the improved memory bandwidth of the new card, and the Radeon VII comes with a memory bandwidth of 1TB/s and 16GB of HBM2 (High Bandwidth Memory), whereas the older RX Vega 64 has a memory bandwidth of 484GB/s and 8GB of HBM2.

Perhaps most importantly of all, the Radeon VII is a more powe-efficient card, which brings running costs down when you’re using it to mine every hour of the day.

Clash of the Titans

The Titan V was once considered one of the very best GPUs for cryptocurrency mining, able to mine Ethereum twice as fast as the RX Vega 64.

The fact that the AMD Radeon VII breezes past Nvidia’s GPU when it comes to Ethereum mining is noteworthy because even though the Titan V is now a few years old, it still costs near $2,999 (around £2,200, AU$4,000), compared to the Radeon VII, which costs $699 (£699, around AU$980).

A much lower cost, for much better results, makes the Radeon VII a far better purchase for budding miners. While the popularity of cryptocurrency mining has died down of late, the release of this card, which offers such good results for such a reasonable price, could convince many people to fire up their old mining rigs again.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
