Title: BEST 2 cards to get for between 400 -500 Post by: Kingpin on June 24, 2011, 02:21:16 AM What would be the best 2 or 3 mining cards to get for 400 - 500 bucks in terms of mh/s per second.

If you can stretch your budget to the 700 area then a 5970/6990 would do. :P Title: Re: BEST 2 cards to get for between 400 -500 Post by: wpride on June 24, 2011, 02:51:55 AM 5870s if you can get them, 6970s otherwise.

Title: Re: BEST 2 cards to get for between 400 -500 Post by: rob80 on June 24, 2011, 03:12:15 AM I did the math not too long ago for this. Some conservative numbers:
3x5830 (@ $109/e): 750mh/s 2x6950 (@ $209/e): 660mh/s 1x6990 (@ $700/e): 700mh/s To me, the sweet spot was 5830s for price per mh/s, but I ultimately got a 5830 and a 6950 for my two computers.

I'm getting over 400 mhash/s with unlocked shaders, 950 mhz core, 600 memory, 53% fan, and I'm using the flags -v -w128 -f0.
