Title: Radeon 6790
Post by: Macil2018 on June 08, 2011, 03:27:02 PM
Just curious if anyone has experience with this card or not? I was looking into buying two more Radeon 5830s but everywhere seems to be either sold out or they just want way too much money for them. I paid $100/card for my 5830 and now I see them everywhere for between $200-$300.

So moving on, I stumbled onto the Radeon 6790 today for a little more than what I paid for my 5830s and I noticed its not listed anywhere on the Mining Hardware Comparison page. Does this mean it is not compatible with running mining or something or has nobody simply got around to adding its performance to the list?

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

*EDIT* I accidentally wrote 6670 everywhere, I meant to ask about the 6790 card! *EDIT*

looking it up it will probably be no faster then a 6770 as it has 800 shades  still you could get 5770 that will be about the same speed, but to me if you every plan to you use pc for gaming to go get a 6950 1gb for 220ish that will put out about 350-400 depending how much you oc it

I bought a 6790 card today for $144CDN.  After experimenting with it a bit, I am getting around 205MH/s (over-clocking it to the max).  It did require ATI Stream SDK 2.2 before it would be recognized.
