Love the total overkill for a 5850, bet it clocks pretty well ;) Title: Re: alternative for 5850 Post by: mike678 on July 29, 2011, 01:56:54 PM If you're in the us you can amok get them here :s 209 isn't worth it. Thats just too high. A 6870 can produce 330 megahash for the cost of 155(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948)http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=744547&CatId=3669 409/209=1.95 330/155=2.12 A 6870 is by no means a good card at its current price and it still beat this 5850. Title: Re: alternative for 5850 Post by: deslok on July 29, 2011, 02:10:17 PM Those rates are both well above what a average miner can expect. 5850S normally wish on at 360mh/s and 6850s at 213mh/s
Title: Re: alternative for 5850 Post by: mike678 on July 29, 2011, 02:13:24 PM Those rates are both well above what a average miner can expect. 5850S normally wish on at 360mh/s and 6850s at 213mh/s I quoted the 6870 not 6850. Those are both the extremes of the card so its not like I wasn't equal to both cards. In the best case scenario thats the ratio you should expect from each and it should follow a similar pattern as you clock the cards less and less.Title: Re: alternative for 5850 Post by: deslok on July 29, 2011, 02:25:29 PM Where did you find a 6870 for 155? The newegg link is for 175 unless you're including the mir which you can't if you're ordering multiple cards since only one qualifies.

I am including the mir but there are multiple cards at 155 with a mir.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102948 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141124 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102913 (this ones 159 which is still a better ratio) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131378 (159) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150506 (159) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521 (159) edit: I'd also like to point out a 6870 is slightly better that a 5850 on power consumption. I feel like thats negligible though. |
