Title: Re: 5870 in stock at newegg Post by: Mousepotato on July 07, 2011, 10:47:31 PM I'm not sure if this is a really good value though. You can get similar hashing performance (and better gaming performance) from a 6950 for $3 more and you can buy those all day long. I think the 5870 still edges it out for power draw though.

If you add up the costs for a server (bare minimum) +4*240=$1,353cpu- $30 ram- $10 psu- $150 mobo- $140 (if you know cheeper then this with 4 pci express then let me know) hd- $15 PCIe x16 Extender Cable $12*4 (4*440)/1353=1.3008 megahash per server cost going with 6950 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150523) +(4*223)=1,253 (going with 420 because it seems reasonable from the mining hardware comparison not sure what a normal megahash is for the card.) (4*420)/1253 =1.3407 megahash per server cost according to this site (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsSwOT3E1XTGdGtpa1BQcmJLN2x6TG1MRmxzb29BeFE&hl=en_US&authkey=COWC8toK#gid=0) power consumption is basically the same as well a little in favor of the 6950. At bare minimum the 6950 is better then the 5870 at those prices. Let me know what the average megahash for a 6950 is because that will change the ratio a lot. edit: found a better costing card for the 6950 Title: Re: 5870 in stock at newegg Post by: cicada on July 08, 2011, 01:13:04 AM Let me know what the average megahash for a 6950 is because that will change the ratio a lot.
