Title: VGA card - 2 questions Post by: Folax on May 09, 2011, 03:42:18 PM Hello,
I like to get mining and got 2 questions I cannot seem to find answers to, hope anyone of you can help me out. I got 2 identical PC's I can use for mining, I need to get VGA cards and from my research ATI 5870 GPU's seem to be the best value for money. Questions: 1. Is there a prefereable brand of card to use or will any 5870 be ok? Linux miner) 2. Will 1 PC with 2 5870's mine more than 2 PCs with 1 card each? (assuming there is no difference in power consumption) Thanks in advance for any help. -Fx -edit- Got an answer to question 2 from here: https://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=7733.0 better 2 cards in 1 machine because performance is the same but no extra PC overhead (electricity). |
