So OK, if you want to make noise in the 'bang for buck' arena.....then show bang for buck.

Stating how long crypto mining takes to offset the cost of a $3000 Nvidia GPU against an $800 GPU isn't showing back for buck at all. Neither are benchmarks that show an Nvidia card operating at 50% less wattage and core clocks......all the key variables are completely unmatched in the attempt to make AMD look like the clear winner....it's not even apples to oranges.

With regards the advert, your'e still off on a tangent.....you're still claiming the 'bang for buck' is the comparison yet nowhere have you featured a benchmark that actually shows bang for buck. Has it occurred to you that profit per month figures you quoted are completely inaccurate because it isn't even taking into account how much electricity is being burned by the AMD cards where in some cases they are using over twice as much than the Nvidia card. Of course you're going to get a large performance boost if you take a set period of time but use a performance metric within that timeframe. The article that you lifted the graph from even caveats it with 'but if electricity costs are not a concern (or if less of a concern) to you........' .

You also seem to be indicating that 'compute' is only relevant for mining? You are aware the so-called speciality of the Titan V is for AI and to be used for scientific research? In summary, all these silly benchmarks attempting to make AMD look good are simply cherry picked values and they're not even consistent across cards. Look at the mining graph again....the Vega cards aren't even comparing ETH, yet the Titan V has entries against it! If you did find benchmarks for that, you will find the Vega 64 losing by a large margin (see youtube clip below).

It does seem that AMD are intent to focus on mining though and have pretty much given up on trying to challenge in the gaming stakes - evident by releasing the dedicated blockchain driver, even if the flip-side is to increase the prices of already scarce hardware.

Here is an apples to apples mining benchmark (something that your graph didn't attempt to show)......ETH at Mh/s and Power Consumption, fast-forward to 29 seconds
