Title: GPU advice
Post by: nivek03 on March 26, 2013, 04:53:43 PM
I'm going to try to make a GPU rig before ASICs skyrocket the difficulty. I'm thinking of getting 7950s. I'm looking at this one particularly.

brand recommendations? Anyone have an approx hash rate?

Yah, I've been looking at that wiki page. Not much info on brands though.

Dammit, there were no answers when I opened the thread  :-\

Depends, do you want to overclock it or not?

Ive had good luck with Sapphire products in the past. That being said I am running a Powercolor 7950 atm for mining..its a good card but needs better cooling. Im thinking about ordering that sapphire myself for a 2nd miner...let me know what you think.  :)

I may overclock.

I was also checking out the Vapor-X model. Looks like it has better cooling and 50Mhz high core clock when boosted. Not sure if its worth the extra money.

Could this one potentially have a higher hash rate?
