Title: What is the best GPU card to mine scrypt algo? Post by: buddynuno on January 17, 2014, 08:11:48 PM Hello everyone,
I have looked at https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison But I am looking for the opinion from the miner's experience to know what is the best GPU card to mine scrypt algorithm based coins considering the following: -Which is the best series: 5*** 6*** 7*** R9 2** -KH/s -Stability -Wattage when OC -Performance if Crossfire -Performance on mining rigs -Price -Other important info you might want to add Thank you all for the help Title: Re: What is the best GPU card to mine scrypt algo? Post by: Wipeout2097 on January 17, 2014, 08:18:50 PM imho by this order, but the current prices cause distortions:
7950 280x 7970 Some 270x or 270 with GDD5 5600+ R9-290 with custom cooler. 7990 Some 7870 and 270 R9-290 with stock cooler 6950 6970 5850 and 5870 6990 5970 The R9-290 are in the middle because afaik they cannot be volt modded with VBE7 or other utility. If I'm wrong, then they climb up to near the 280x That said, the last ones can sometimes be the best if you get them for the right prices. For example, it's ok to buy an used 7950 at $200, while it becomes silly at $300 or even less I had a bad experience with 2 6950's in Crossfire, but that was some time ago Title: Re: What is the best GPU card to mine scrypt algo?

Is it worth buying them? I would have to buy everything else as well, even mobo. Title: Re: What is the best GPU card to mine scrypt algo?
