2 + 2 = 4, er, 4.1, no, 4.3... Nvidia's Titan V GPUs spit out 'wrong answers' in scientific simulations

Re: no mention of bitcoin mining

For Mining (not bitcoin as that's ASCI only now) but any Alt coins:

The Titan gets around 77MH on ETH at a cost of £3k and drawing over 230W.

A Vega 56 or 64 get 48MH on ETH at a cost of £500 (but really £600-900 now) but only draw 100W (you do need to do some serious optimisation on both to get these figures)

If its throwing memory errors then it will also cock up the mining. Memory errors result in incorrect shares which are not paid for at all.

Very surprised at how low the HBM memory bandwidth is, 8GB HBM2 on a Vega will overclock to over 600GBs, This Titan has 3x the bus but only 652GBs, which suggests they are not using the vastly superior Samsung chips but are using the Hynix pants.
