Title: Rig Post by: thebitbabe on October 02, 2012, 06:45:41 PM Does anyone know what mining Rig will produce the most results? I am new to mining bitcoins and really need some assistance

Then read this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9430.0 Then ask a less vague question here. Title: Re: Rig Post by: Nancarrow on October 02, 2012, 07:38:38 PM Now isn't really a good time to start mining. The reward's halving in December and ASICs may or may not be on the horizon (it's all vapourware at the moment). You're unlikely to get the cost of the rig back even if ASICs are all a bald-faced lie. If they're not, don't even bother getting a GPU based rig. Place an order for an ASIC instead (but then what if they ARE a scam? Aaarrgh.)
Put it this way: don't bother investing in mining gear until January when the dust settles. Certainly I'm not placing any ASIC orders until one of these mythical beasts actually gets seen in the wild. That'll either make me a late adopter, or a savvy scamproof know-it-all. Time will tell.

You mean prefabbed? I gpu mine, for now, I would say I am getting decent results from my 11th hour assemblies which are basically SLI and crossfire motherboards jammed with cheap cards like 5770 6770 and 5830. It all depends on what you can get them for, I definitely don't think it's the time to buy new parts. I'd say my favorite card is the 7970, with the 5830 and 5870 being close second and third favorites. Just keep in mind these are vastly different cards which cost/produce very different things. Google search bitcoin mhs radeon or sown thing similar to try to get charts of what each can do approx.

Google search bitcoin mhs radeon or sown thing similar to try to get charts of what each can do approx. I will agree with you that the 7970 is amazing. I can mine at the same speed as my overclocked 5870, and still only use < 100W. However, I sincerely believe that setting up a GPU rig is foolish at this point. 2 months ago, maybe. 4 months ago, probably. But now? Just sell your cards on ebay, and buy some ASICs.

Look up Unacceptable in Origin,join us in our server 8) http://theblackduck.net/araven/ Its a little late to start mining,but if you already have the card/s,go for it.You can still make a few coins for the next 6-8 weeks,maybe longer ;) |
