First AMD Radeon RX Mining cards Surface Online

The hype in crypto-currency mining is something the Radeon board partners jump onto. See below the first Radeon Mining Edition cards from Sapphire. The models are available in RX 470 and RX 560. Should the bubble burst, most cards to not have any resell value as they do not have display outputs.

The Sapphire Radeon RX 560 Mining Edition gets 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and is advertised as a 12 tot 15MH/s based on a 60 Watt TDP. Currently in the UK the product sells for as massive 170 pound sterling which is 199 euros (ex VAT). The Sapphire RX 470 Mining Edition on its end will become available in 4GB and 8GB models with mining compute rated at 23-26MH/s en 25-28MH/s. The TDP is at the 125 Watt marker there. These cards cost 260 pounds, which is 299 Euro ex VAT (!).
 

 
That makes the price level high compared to your normal gaming edition graphics card version. The cards can be used for  crypto-currency mining like Ethereum and Zcash.

12 -14 Mh/s for 300 bucks damn thats almost stupid you get 29-30 Mh/s from a 480/580 that you can resell to gamers for at least 50% of new value. with some tweaks they run 85/115 watts depending on what coin your mining.

I couldn't care less about mining other than it's rather annoying that card prices skyrocket because of greed on both ends. Cards on the used market cannot be trusted now. Could have been used up as a miner.

Average gamers who buy these cards (to actually game) suffer for it.

It would be nice if cards like this alleviated that, but I doubt it.

Please will someone explain to me how money is made though mining? All I can see is:

1) Run GPU at 100% for a LONG time, wasting electricity and adding to global warming.
2) ???
3) Profit.

I don't get it. All I can see is a big, fat bubble that is due to burst.

I'm serious - please will someone tell me how mining makes money?!

If the RX 470 mining edition is the same as a normal RX 470 without display outputs it might still be possible to do crossfire setups using it as the secondary card?
So if mining dies it might be a cheaper crossfire setup.

I'm wondering the very same question from a long time. Beside using them on black market as untraceable currency.
