Three 5870s will be exactly three times as profitable as one 5870. Title: Re: would 3x 5870's be profitable?

Three 5870s will be exactly three times as profitable as one 5870. 3x 5870s inside of one box will be more profitable than 3x (1x 5870 in one box) because the box itself has electricity overhead. |
