Post by: maxmad_x on March 29, 2017, 07:15:28 PM
Hey Guys, local craigslist guy is selling a R9 390 dual GPU for $360. I am looking to dual mine ETH with it. Will it be a worth buy?
Please advise.
Thank you

It's a tough question, because this card seems to be overheating like crazy. two Hawaiis on one board require water cooling, like the R9 295X2. cooling them with air will cause throttling and I am not sure if this card is reliable. buying two seperate 290s will be a better choice, in my opinion.

This card is at high 70s while gaming, it should be fine for mining if you manually set the fan speed to a high level.
It consumes a lot of power though, the RX 470/480 would be better in this case for its power efficiency. If that's not an issue then go for it.

The duals are very expensive when you do find one.

You can buy it and then undervoltage it then it will not be so hot.

That is not expensive if it is in the Europe.

Don't mine with this card unless you have a good electricity rate , or you will find yourself not making a decent profit or even lossing money . better go for the rx 400 series if your electricity rate is high.

If you undervolt and under clock, you will make profit.
