Title: Ati 5870 (Solved)
Post by: Wes1180 on June 05, 2011, 07:35:56 PM
So on the hardware comparison page it says that the 5870 can get between 313 and 438 mhash now on a quick check on google shopping I've seen that theres a few with large price differences. Some are £140 (http://bit.ly/iq42LI) and others are £300 (http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/gpu-amd/ati-radeon-hd5870-pci-e-%281600-cores%29).

Now I am considering getting one sometime in the (hopefully) not too distant future, but my question is how much difference is there between the different ones? As some have the same memory and I think they all have the same number of cores etc. (Mean the one with the same memory)

Also how will the differences change the mhash?

EDIT: It actually turns out that they are in fact all the same card.... which is weird, but whatever
