Title: [WTB] ATI 7750.... (or other Low Profile cards)
Post by: Evan on February 12, 2013, 04:28:43 AM
I need 8-12 Low profile cards for my scrap yard of mining here. (only restriction is the cards cant need a 6pin power as they are already taken up)

Can pay with BTC (escrow of course), Paypal, or what ever... if you live in NYC area I'll even drive out and pick them up.

I can also pay for shipping, and email you a Prepaid UPS return label to make your life that much easier.

Low-profile eh?  So I take it something like these cards wouldn't fit your bill:

1) Go to http://www.btcbuy.info/GiftCards.cshtml
2) Go to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131480
3) ....
4) Profit!

8-12 cards means you're looking at between 35 and 53BTC for the lot. I REALLY hope you're not buying these for mining purposes, as 50BTC could buy you a 60GH/s BFL Single that's due in ~3-4 months if ordered now. 12 of these would get you ~1.7GH/s.

Not for hashing BTC..... Cancer Folding, and Editing porn......... or maybe I am shining some turd PCs for sale :)
How about all 3 at once?  ;)


Do they need 6 pin powers?
No 7750 will require a 6 pin PCIe power plug. The card only uses ~55W max. The 7770 uses ~80W, just a hair higher than what the PCIe spec can provide, so it needs one.

Someone is tellling me that If i get a 5 series it might be better faster?
Well sure, a 5870 would be faster than a 7750. But if you're looking for a low-profile GPU that doesn't require a 6pin power connector, you can't beat the 7750. The only one that would come close would be the Nvidia GTX 650 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500290).
