Title: Looking to upgrade graphics card
Post by: 2dogs on August 12, 2013, 04:58:32 AM
So I want to replace my GeForce 210 (yeah, don't laugh) for something I could mine with?  Power supply is 500W.

Any suggestions for a upgrade?

I have a 7970 needing a home. I have 4. But only 3 fit in my case. It's and OEM Diamond. They have a pretty good warranty. They let me upgrade from dead 5970s to all 4 7970's, with some money on my part.

7950 is best if mining most alt coins, also be careful on brands not all are equal.

Yeah, I know AMD is the way to go now - have used Nvidia all my life, but the fan in this one is too loud and I'm looking to change.

joshv06:  What are you mining?  Is the extra 7970 new?
