Title: ATI RADEON 6xxx vs 5xxx Post by: Saint Cad on June 18, 2011, 03:20:09 AM Just started and I was curious if anyone had experience comparing the 5xxx line to the 6xxx line in terms of Mh/s.
Title: Re: ATI RADEON 6xxx vs 5xxx Post by: Zeth on June 18, 2011, 03:27:07 AM 6950 is the best miner. I use a pair of them unlocked to 6970 shaders and OC'd 920 core w/ +20% power and get ~750mh/s total. Not bad seeing as I built this as a gaming rig and just recently found BTC.

Is it the best though ? What was the cost for this? 2 x 5850's get just over 700HM/sec as well... at maybe 1/2 the cost!

Title: Re: ATI RADEON 6xxx vs 5xxx Post by: Gently on June 18, 2011, 06:19:58 PM 5830 is the best from Mhash/s for $$$ perspective. 300Mhash/s for under $100 (if you find used one...)
Title: Re: ATI RADEON 6xxx vs 5xxx Post by: iamzill on June 18, 2011, 06:23:44 PM 5830 is my choice as well, given its overclocking potentials.
Title: Re: ATI RADEON 6xxx vs 5xxx Post by: frizzl on June 18, 2011, 06:35:35 PM Yea same 6870 here @ 280-300. Used on Clist runs good looking for a used 5870 now as I think it outperforms and is cheaper

Which is better? |
