Title: Need advice on getting a new Graphics card Post by: Adiamante on June 22, 2011, 10:09:26 PM This is what I have on my idle computer
AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 Processor 3.10 GHz 2.00 GB Ram 64-bit Operating System I do have an ATI 4200 which is not able to be used for pooling...thats why I want to upgrade. What are everyone's thoughts on a good pooling Card for less than 150.00?

You can sometimes find them used on Craigslist for around $100-150. 5870 will do 440MH/s+ for $150-200 on the used market.

Just found out that I can get a 25% discount with free shipping through work. As long as I can get one that will do over 300Mh I will be satisfied.

Title: Re: Need advice on getting a new Graphics card Post by: SlipperySlope on June 23, 2011, 04:30:12 AM I chose a Radeon HD 5770 GPU from Newegg a few weeks ago, as it was the most cost-effective card that they then had available. When overclocked it gets about 202 MH/sec and I have six of them in three rigs that total 860 watts power draw.
