Title: HIS Radeon 7970 opinions
Post by: leewilson on December 28, 2013, 01:32:29 AM
I have the opportunity to purchase a used HIS Radeon 7970 for ~$350.

I would love to hear any opinions on price and also on performance.

Those who have/had them would yo please let me know any possible tweaks for this specific card? flashing necessary or recommended?

And yes, I have looked at https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison, but as you know some of this information is either limited or out of date.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm running a rig with 6 of these cards, 720 khs each @b 60 °C each, good cards but 350$ for a used card is wayyyy overpriced

Wow...nice.

Are they HIS brand? or another type or mixture of 7970's?

What is a good price range?  And if you don't mind what part of the world are you located?

Also worth considering is every day you delay purchase is another day you don't use the card to mine at current difficulty.
