Title: Highest Possible Megahash per Dollar Card - 5770 @ $50
Post by: st4rdust on August 31, 2011, 01:43:21 AM
Newegg's got an Open Box listing for an ASUS CuCore 5770 video card for $50.99, which is outstanding due to the fact that the 5770 can be pushed, at its highest limit, very near 250 Mh/s. More realistically, it clears 220 Mh/s without any problem. This special price makes this card the highest possible value that I'm aware of. Well above 4Mh/$ and very near 5Mh/$.

Too bad this is only an open box special because I'd love to buy several of these to really rake in the returns.

all open box items have quantities of only a few... that's why it's hard to see them in stock for a long time.

I had returned some open box Asus CuCore 5770's a few weeks ago due to driver crashes and constant OS freezes.  Newegg is notorious for putting up the same card(s) after a customer return.

I've had more luck with MSI 5770 Hawks.  In fact, I have 7 sitting next to me.  :D  Stupid me, I'm also in the process of cleaning out my basement so I can't mine on them at the moment.  Grrr..
