I just got one of those from Newegg for $199($20 gift card made it $179),it does 22mhs right out of the box (win7 64) @ 80% fan = 58c ;D Oh & it's pretty quiet compared to my ref 7970 ;) Title: Re: Should i get 4 of these GPUS or something else?

The 380 is also a 4GB card, so it might be useful in the future. Title: Re: Should i get 4 of these GPUS or something else?

Post by: Novalok on April 04, 2016, 08:24:13 PM Since you are spending in the range anyways. I recommend you get 2 of the cards below. 2x crossfire will perform much better then 4x, and these cards are beasts. Good luck!

What type of power drawl do you get with a under volt? Dropping some watts off of course means cooling operation and more profit per card. I do this to my 7950's and it made a huge difference Title: Re: Should i get 4 of these GPUS or something else?

Post by: klondike_bar on April 05, 2016, 06:34:31 AM how does the Sapphire Nitro compare with the ASUS Strix? They are both available for slightly less than $300 CAD and are about evenly specced.
Based on looks alone, i would go with the strix. But hashrate and fan noise are also factors Title: Re: Should i get 4 of these GPUS or something else?

But Ethereum will convert to PoS early next year. |
