MSI launched CMP 50HX MINER: 3584 CUDA cores and 10GB GDDR6 video memory
When Nvidia released the CMP HX series, it promised that CMP 30HX and CMP 40HX will be available in the first quarter of this year, and CMP 50HX and CMP 90HX will be available in the second quarter of this year. In fact, the actual market time of CMP 30HX and CMP 40HX is a bit late, and now the second quarter is almost past.
According to the VideoCardz report, MSI finally launches the CMP 50HX mining card, which belongs to the MINER series.
According to previous news, the specifications of CMP 50HX MINER will be very close to that of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. This time, MSI’s CMP 50HX mining card uses TU102 GPU and is equipped with 3584 CUDA cores, which is less than the 4352 CUDA cores of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. This makes the video memory specifications have also changed. The video memory has a width of 320 bits and is equipped with 10GB of GDDR6 video memory, which is 1GB less than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
The reduction in specifications has reduced the power supply requirements. Its TDP is 225W, which is lower than the 250W of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, but it is still equipped with dual 8Pin external power supply interfaces. From the overall design point of view, CMP 50HX MINER is relatively close to GeForce RTX 2080/RTX 2080 Ti AERO. Like the previous MINER series products, this mine card has no display output but retains the back panel.
If some users want to transform this mining card into an ordinary graphics card, it is estimated that it will be more difficult.
In addition to the different specifications, the speed of the PCIe Express 1.0 x4 interface is also a big problem. It is estimated that these can not be solved by just flashing the BIOS, and there may be other problems.
