Don't really see how it's going to be useful for mining unless you get one for free. It even requires 3 power connectors.

Still not sure how much better if at all it will be. Title: Re: Drool Post by: Clipse on June 16, 2011, 12:48:59 AM its the ugliest card ive seen in a while.
Title: Re: Drool Post by: darkskypoet on June 16, 2011, 04:31:19 AM So as fast as a 6990 in OC mode... or not quite as fast as 2 6970's in crossfire.... Really, unless you have a space issue... Or too much money... 2 6970's are still better then this card... The lucid chip, in a bitmining context does absolutely nothing for you... Considering you can just launch extra miners, the lucid chip is only useful for making the two cards appear as one to games, and other big monolithic apps...
Save your money and get 6970s... ;) unless you're really hard up for space... but i think you could almost build a small box and 2 6970s for less then this behemoth... ;) Title: Re: Drool Post by: Jarredm on June 16, 2011, 03:03:24 PM So as fast as a 6990 in OC mode... or not quite as fast as 2 6970's in crossfire....

I am in fact the world's foremost expert in ensuring that I do not have too much money. I can successfully apply these principals to your life too!!! ;D |
