Title: Re: 28nm gpu choice Post by: Shadow383 on June 05, 2012, 12:33:53 AM Go with the 670 - more 7970s & lower difficulty for the rest of us ;)

http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4102#ov but I get solid 700Mhash/s from it as well haven't gamed since my 5770 I started mining on, should crossfire up a couple of these babies oneday - just to check gaming performance :P Title: Re: 28nm gpu choice Post by: yunk3r on June 05, 2012, 03:33:30 AM Well at lower resolutions it doesn't really mater because both will perform well above what is requires, but at higher resolution the 7970 catches up in perforce because it has more ram. Also since it overclocks so well it is able to beat a 680.

I honestly don't notice a difference between the 5770, 5870, 5970, or currently CF 7970's in regards to fps and image quality on the latest games. Title: Re: 28nm gpu choice Post by: crazyates on June 05, 2012, 03:52:59 AM I could even go as low as a 7850 or 650. I want at least the same power my 6950 has. I know what cards are out there and their performance levels are and what I need. I want a new gpu card so I just am trying to decide if I want a gaming + mining for a higher price, or gaming + low tdp(quiet). You're really asking this question on a bitcoin forum? Everyone in here's gonna give you the same answer. You're just begging for someone to tell you to buy a 7970. Do iiittt.... ;) Title: Re: 28nm gpu choice Post by: crazyates on June 05, 2012, 04:08:03 AM I could even go as low as a 7850 or 650. I want at least the same power my 6950 has.

Do iiittt.... ;) I almost didn't start this thread but decided to anyway just for the discussion, and that maybe just maybe someone will say that magic something that decides it for me. Wishful thinking... probably. 600MH/s is about ~$1.50 a day (after you minus electricity). That's something the 670 wont give you. To me, that alone is worth the "cost" of not going with Nvidia (Nvidia drivers are the shit). |
