Title: Help Required!!! Need to make a decision quickly on litecoin mining Post by: ibrahim11 on December 25, 2013, 07:24:34 PM Hi, I am going to buy some gpu's to mine with.
I want to spend £700-£800 in total on building the rig. Currently the price: Note: I WILL BE USING ASROCK EXTREME4 970 MOBO :D For 1 NEW 280x ≈ 700K/Hash = £240 For 1 NEW 7850 ≈ 380K/Hash = £95 For 1 NEW 7950 ≈ 650K/Hash = £140 Should I buy 2x 280x = 1400K/Hash = £480 or 5x 7850 = 1900K/Hash = £475 or 3x 7950 = 1950K/Hash = £420 - These are the Sapphire Radeon 3GB Cards! - Will this get me over 700K/Hash??? - If this gets me over 700K/Hash i'll buy these Title: Re: Help Required?

Title: Re: Help Required!!! Need to make a decision quickly on litecoin mining Post by: MisO69 on December 26, 2013, 03:00:24 AM If you are looking to save money then forget the 5 card config. That one will need two power supplies or a really big expensive one.
So then you go for the 3x7950. Best bang for the buck. Get an 850watt PS that will do or better get a 1050 corsair just to make sure. Next month you expand the rig with another 3 identical cards and an additional 850w ps. Title: Re: Help Required!!!

When you save slots for more cards you can add hash in the future. After building several miners this is my biggest regret.
