Title: [Closed] Bad 5970
Post by: superfastkyle on September 10, 2012, 01:21:07 AM
Unfortunately I had another card fail. It was working fine until a few days ago. It will crash if you change the clock speeds at all. Its less than a year old bought from newegg but has no warranty. It does boot, it does mine (both cores), how stably I don't know? I can let it run for today on windows at stock speeds and let you know. I would keep it but I only have one windows system which only has two slots which are filled up with 7970's. I do not want to babysit it on one of my BAMT systems. Would trade for a fully working 5870 or give me an offer.

EDIT: decided to keep it, I did get it running stably on windows just not linux will probably just run it into the ground until it needs replaced, thanks for the interest

I was looking for btc but I can consider other payments
no accessories included....

as an example last 5970 went for $80 on eBay that didn't post at all. There is also one on ebay right now with one good core for $180 so I'm expecting an offer somewhere in between

Hmm... will  have to buy the power cables from somewhere. I'd offer $100 PPUSD but can't pay right away because of extreme financial hardship. I might be able to throw $20 down. I'm hoping too get $100 in Litecoin within 30 days with a 6970, if that helps.
