Title: Since 5830's are hard to find. What GPU next?
Post by: wknight on August 19, 2011, 03:09:02 PM
So since the 5830's are pretty much sold out at great prices. What is the next step up from that GPU?

5830s are not hard to find. Ebay is full of them for about $140 apiece.

well the 5770 can get 220mh/s but you can also look here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison)

some 6870s are $160ish at the egg (after rebate) and can pull just north of 300 Mhash @ 1000 core.

I like those:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131434

They are easily available in great quantity, are stable, keep cool easily, and for 110$, you get an easy 200/210 MHash.
There was even a postal rebate some weeks ago, it was a really great deal for new cards.
