Title: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: ragingazn628 on October 09, 2012, 01:44:27 PM Hey guys,
I have left over parts and 3x 7970s. Should I build it or just sell the cards? Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: Shadow383 on October 09, 2012, 02:07:44 PM If you have the parts, put it together. Those cards aren't dropping in value anytime very soon. ...Unless ATI releases the 8xxx series in Q4 as they have with the past few series ;)Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: crazyates on October 09, 2012, 02:12:44 PM Those cards aren't dropping in value anytime very soon. Except they they already have dropped in value over the past 6 months. By almost 20%.

What OS are you using? Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: DobZombie on October 09, 2012, 04:11:50 PM BUILD IT!
it would only take a few days (or a few hours if you've done this a few times already). If mining then becomes unprofitable in 4-6 weeks you still will have earned 20-40BTC ($240-$480 in todays prices). Then you could sell em, and have earned a few extra hundred bucks. the cards DEFINITELY wouldn't depreciate that much in that amount of time ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: Stephen Gornick on October 09, 2012, 08:51:33 PM If it were me, I would grind on them a few more weeks. If you pay average price for electricity or less (e.g., $0.12 per kWh) then mine away for the next seven weeks, assuming you don't need to make any additional purchases to get it operational. If you pay way over (e.g., you live in California, Europe, etc.) then cut your losses and sell the hardware sooner rather than later as there is little profit from mining for you. If you think the BTC exchange rate will rise, then use the proceeds of the sale to buy bitcoins. Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: meebs on October 10, 2012, 02:19:53 AM sell!
The difficulty needs all the help it can get to not go up any higher :) Title: Re: should I build my 2nd 7970s x3 rig? Post by: Desolator on October 10, 2012, 05:08:41 AM just throwing it out there...I'm selling exactly 3 1x to 16x PCI risers :D
