Title: Re: 5850 or 6850 for minning Post by: OggerMC on June 13, 2011, 02:19:54 PM as the posts above are saying. 5850 for mining.
as you can see here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison 5850 can easy go above 340 mhash/s (i myself got mine to 380) and the Highest 6850 there is at 244 mhash/s with a oc to 980 core clock. Title: Re: 5850 or 6850 for minning Post by: Clipssy on June 15, 2011, 03:49:34 PM Ok. thanx for the answers but it seems that no shops have 5850 in stock anymore. I cant find it in my country. What do you recommend from 6xxx series for mining under 200 eur?

What do you recommend from 6xxx series for mining under 200 eur? I have a 6950 yielding approx. 270 Mhps without OC. However, if you can grab a 5830 you get almost the same Mhps for half the price.

Had a similar speed (266 @ 900 MHz) but then dropped to 248 after some experiments with SDK version and I can't figure out the cause. Using Win 7 SP1 x64, SDK 2.4 currently, and phoenix miner with phatk kernel on that particular machine. |
