Title: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: lanboor on June 28, 2013, 12:09:45 PM I don't know which one to keep, please help. ATI HD 5450 1GB DDR3 vs GeForce 210 (not the gt one) 1GB DDR3, and both ASUS SILENT EDITION Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: mprep on June 28, 2013, 12:53:35 PM If you're using it for mining then ATI because Nvidia's cards are terrible at this. Also if you're mining then don't. Buy an ASIC or get free elctricity because GPU mining is practically dead.
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: superresistant on June 28, 2013, 01:17:27 PM ATI > NVIDIA
Mine altcoins with GPU and exchange it to bitcoins. GPU mining is far from being dead but you have to calculate your ROI based on the gain / hardware price / electricity cost Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: Gabi on June 28, 2013, 01:29:57 PM These cards are useless for almost everything except dunno, watching movies/playing old games
Mining with these cards? Lol Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: sabahgamemaker on June 28, 2013, 01:32:42 PM I bought 6750 for 15 bucks the other day and using it to mine ltc ;D
so no, gpu mining is far from dead Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: 23732 on June 28, 2013, 02:09:56 PM When buying mining-hardware, always go for AMD/ATi. Their GPU-architecture is way better at all things related to numbers.

Post by: mprep on June 28, 2013, 02:30:24 PM I bought 6750 for 15 bucks the other day and using it to mine ltc ;D I meant GPU mining for BTC is dead.so no, gpu mining is far from dead Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: Trillium on June 28, 2013, 04:11:58 PM It's still worthwhile in some countries with cheap electricity rates or for those who have free power, but its true that they'd be better off mining altcoins at the moment.
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: George900 on June 28, 2013, 05:09:27 PM ATI
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: TheShape on June 28, 2013, 05:11:06 PM Anything ATI.
Well, not anything, but certainly anything instead of Nvidia Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: sphinkter on June 30, 2013, 12:55:19 AM ...nvidia does indeed suck for mining...got higher rates using my CPU instead.
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: freeroute on June 30, 2013, 01:40:15 AM Definitely the ATi.
But needless to say, graphic cards are going to get obsolete very soon. Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: superresistant on June 30, 2013, 09:23:28 AM If you can't get cheap electricity then aim for free/very cheap GPU.
As long as you get more income than you pay electricity you can get a quick ROI. By free GPU, I mean an old GPU that you were not using : consider it is a free GPU then everything you get from it is a benefit. Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: Coinazon on June 30, 2013, 12:07:12 PM nVidia is not for mining
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: Online24o0n on June 30, 2013, 02:50:36 PM ATI 5970 is the best for hash but if you think about electricity consumption you may use 7970.
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: Rinorbirch on June 30, 2013, 04:23:30 PM ATI 7970 is the best now.
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: jhoffy88 on June 30, 2013, 09:09:47 PM Like many others have said, go with the ATI. I personally like the Nvidia cards better but for what your trying to do the ATI will work better
Title: Re: Which is better graphic Card!!!? Post by: icyak on July 02, 2013, 11:39:43 AM Calculate ratio (expected hash rate, from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison, but keep in mind that you will probably not reach the best values) / price and you can see which one is most profitable (excluding electricity costs)
