Title: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: 420 on January 26, 2013, 07:02:10 AM It's a 3-way crossfire; I think extenders would be required
What GPU cards should I buy to mine with? Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: crazyates on January 26, 2013, 07:14:59 AM It's a 3-way crossfire; I think extenders would be required I've got a 990FXA-UD5, which is also a 3-way CF board. This board has seen 5830s, 5850s, 5870s, 5970s, 7770s, and 7970s. You can use any GPU, regardless of the fact that it's a 1366 board.What GPU cards should I buy to mine with? But you gotta ask yourself, are GPUs worth it? Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: 420 on January 26, 2013, 07:17:47 AM yes
I wish 7990's were cheaper Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: crazyates on January 26, 2013, 07:22:31 AM yes They maybe look for some used 7970s? They'll still have some resale value until the 8xxx cards come out. I wish 7990's were cheaper Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: ssateneth on January 26, 2013, 07:30:03 AM A board does not need to be crossfire-certified for the purpose of multi-gpu mining. I have a board with a pci-e 16x and pci-e 1x slot (2 slots total) and I installed 2 gfx cards in there just fine with the help of a riser. Also, all PCI-E slots are forward and backward compatible. You can plug in whatever PCI-E gfx card in any slot and it'll negotiate to the lowest common version between the two.
Getting a 1366 CPU will be kinda of prixy though compared to budget single core CPU's (1366 is an enthusiast platform) Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: 420 on January 26, 2013, 07:39:31 AM Is there still a maximum of 8 cores per board for 79## series?
(maybe the number was less than 8) Title: Re: I have a 1366 Board what GPU's should I buy to mine with? Post by: ssateneth on January 26, 2013, 07:51:13 AM Is there still a maximum of 8 cores per board for 79## series? (maybe the number was less than 8) The Radeon Driver has a maximum of 8 GPU's. It can be a mix of any of the GPU's supported in the driver. I also imagine you have have 8 Radeon GPU's and some number of nVidia GPU's as well since it's a separate driver. |
