Title: The community needs good Crossfire-Friendly (or, exploitive) Mining Software Post by: bitlane on August 22, 2011, 01:33:52 AM The community needs good Crossfire-Friendly (or, exploitive) Mining Software.......and here's why I think so:
With the current price of Video Cards vs. the current ROI, it really doesn't make sense to mine for profit using a 6990 @ $700+USD anymore.....BUT... Take 3x or 4x 5770 Cards @ $99/each and combine their solo-200MH/s power into a single hashing POWERHOUSE thread and you will have alot of people saying 69-what ? ....exactly. I use 5770 cards as an example because they are plentiful on the market, give a great ROI (return on investment) and are Crossfire capable....not to mention, 100w/card. Doesn't this make sense ? 1x 6990 @ 700MH/s = $700+USD .......OR........ 4x 5770 @ 800MH/s = $400 USD. The money you would save on power supply requirements would go directly to a motherboard that could support 4 cards.

GET IT NOW ? Title: Re: The community needs good Crossfire-Friendly (or, exploitive) Mining Software Post by: deslok on August 22, 2011, 02:12:43 AM no not really there's no diffrence between what my 2 5770 cards and my 1 5870 turn in when they're both running at 400mh(combined or alone) regardless of a pools round length.

GET IT NOW ? next time you think to take a condescending tone with people on the internet, you might want to double-check that what you're saying makes sense first ;) |
