Title: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: AllMiner on June 24, 2011, 12:07:41 AM Hey so what card currently gets the most Mhash/sec? Thanks.
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: Kingpin on June 24, 2011, 12:16:39 AM ati 6990....800 per card
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: goldcd on June 24, 2011, 12:17:06 AM ATI ones.
6990 is obviously the fastest - but expensive. All depends how much you have to spend, whether you care about power consumption, fan noise, heat generation, playing games, selling the cards on afterwards blah blah. If you just want to go mining, mid-range ATI is probably your best bet. Easiest thing would have been just for me to point you here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison) Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With?

Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: dalamchops on June 24, 2011, 02:01:26 AM 5970, 750mhash but much cheaper than 6990
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: gade202 on June 24, 2011, 02:26:01 AM The best current bang for your buck, out of the available models, is either a 5770 for ~$90AR or 6870 for ~$165 AR. Best hash to $ ratio.
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: wpride on June 24, 2011, 02:47:33 AM I would always go with ATI ones.
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: bal3wolf on June 24, 2011, 03:28:03 AM A used 5970 or 5870 probly would be good if you can find them for the right price i got my 5970 with waterblock for 450 a few months ago but i just started to mine a few days ago.
Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: GriphZero on June 24, 2011, 03:53:11 AM Here is a Google Spreadsheet comparing all the ATI cards. It shows the best bang for the buck. (If you can find cards at those prices.)

Post by: shulace on June 24, 2011, 04:30:40 AM The 5970s and 6990s are definitely the most powerful, but its very hard to find a reasonably priced one right now. If the budget doesn't matter, there are a few selling on ebay. If your trying to budget, go for a high mhash/price cards, such as...
5850's which are great if you can find them for ~$150 I'm getting 350mhash/s out of both of mine 6950's are the next best and I just ordered two of the MSI 2gb 6950 reference models (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127555&cm_re=6950-_-14-127-555-_-Product) from newegg for $280 ($260 after rebates) Should get 400+ mhash/s with unlocked shaders. Regardless of what cards you choose, keep in mind that the current trend in difficulty has been about a 50% increase every 9-10 days... caveat emptor. Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With?

Title: Re: Best Card to Mine With? Post by: shulace on June 24, 2011, 04:55:51 AM 5830's are an awesome bang for the buck. Damn hard to find them in stock for $120< though.
