Now that several of us have these cards hashing away, I thought it would be nice to start a thread dealing with the how to best mine with it.
I am running 2x 7970's currently, and will have 4 mining by the end of the day.
Tidbits of info:
-Will not work with GUIminer
-Works great with Diablo
-Runs stable even with massive overclock
I am getting just over 600 MH/s per card with core set @ 1050 MHz. Memory is underclocked to 600. I had it clocked at 1100 at one point, but the increased hashing rate did not seem to justify the power usage.
I am very ignorant on tweaking settings other than voltage and clocks, so I am hoping people smarter than me can add to this thread. Lets figure out how to optimize these bad boys!
The hash rate increase is completely justified if you keep it cool and don't increase voltage, since it'll be a linear increase of hashes and watts. Spend $20 for electricity and gain $50 from bitcoin or spend $40 for electricity and gain $100 from bitcoin? I think the choice is obvious. Thanks for the tip.....I will definitely keep that in mind. |

You have to admit it though.....
You are one of the biggest bottom-feeders in the market place....aren't you ?
You constantly make low ball offers to people on their stuff that would make even a wellfare case look financially sound by comparison.
How many retards brag about how cheap they got something, then jack up the price all on the same day when they try to resell it/them, as if no one else was paying attention ? Does this make you cool ? or simply clueless ?
The sad part about it is, you just figured out how to use these cards, now you are going to sell them.......
Let's pray that GUIMiner still works for 7000 series cards...LMAO.
It's something called "good business sense". If he can make money that way, good for him! Who cares! I'd certainly be doing the same thing if i had enough capital to throw around (I don't  ) This. It is funny to watch bitlane bitch and moan though.... |

ROFL. This seriously made my day. I love laughing at retards, but you set a new standard!
THANK YOU!!!

Let's pray that GUIMiner still works for 7000 series cards...LMAO. He's actually selling his OLD cards and replacing them with the new ones he bought, I believe. Don't try man....this kid is obviously slow. The rest of us understand such matters like "market value" and "buy low sell high". I think we will all be better off if we just ignore him. |

These cards are in cherry condition. Various makes, all cleaned regularly and run no harder than 750 MHz. NEVER OVER-VOLTED.
After looking around and seeing what they are selling for in other venues, I am willing to sell for 78 BTC per card, which includes shipping anywhere in the USA.
Thanks!
It's quite funny how you are one of the biggest low-ballers on this forum and offer guys unrealistic shit prices for their decent stuff, yet when it's time for you to sell, you list your shit as if it was gold plated. Someone would have to be brain-dead to buy these for 78 BTC each when for about $150 more per card, you could simply get 7970's WITH WARRANTY, WITH RESALE VALUE and not a ticking 'VRM Timebomb' like every other 5970 out in the world. In another thread, you BRAG how you paid less than $300 each for most of these and now you want to re-sell them for what translates to approx $415 USD per card ? GOOD LUCK. 5970's, being as delicate as they are and the fact that most people have read some of your other posts in regards to actual running of your miners (or trying to learn how to) should tell them to stay clear, unless you are willing to give your head a shake and sell them for $300 a card or less. Good luck. Famous quotes from YOU.... Until I can get 770Mh/s from a 7900 series I'm a buy on 5970's. I'm not giving up a positive monthly cashflow for a one time capital gain. So if your selling, I have coins  I am also figuring in life span.....5970's on average are well over 12 months old. Running them full out 24 hours a day will inevitably lead to failure. I am debating if the VERY small loss in hash rate is more than made up for the much longer (intuitively) lifespan. Would I rather have 770 MH for 6-9 months, or 700 for 2 years? Obviously not a cut and dried equation.....many many unkowns. But a valid debate to have. ...and another... The prices for used 5970's are once again heading higher rapidly on Ebay. The latest auctions I have seen closed above $400!
This gives me pause, as all of my 5970's were purchased at approximately $300 or less when miners were committing mass suicide in the streets. I could sell them for a quick 35% profit and replace them with 7970's, which would probably have longer useful lives and retain much better resale value.
thoughts?
...YOU STUCK YOUR OWN FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH. People, do yourselves a favor. Spend an extra few bucks and get WARRANTY, SAVINGS IN POWER and a feeling of satisfaction knowing that this guy, although brags in 1 thread...forgets quickly and flip-flops when the shoe is on the other foot. ROFL. This seriously made my day. I love laughing at retards, but you set a new standard! THANK YOU!!! |

I'd like to find the $160 price tag on a 5970. I think whoever seen that price was on drugs.
I wasn't gonna say it...... |

I just bought 4 yesterday from Newegg for $160 a pop open box - PM me your price please
Good deal! I am firm on price. Can sell them on Ebay tomorrow for this price, so no discounts here. |

I might resell some of mine. I am fairly certain I wiped out their stock.

I hope I continue to get lucky.....all of the OEM cards I have bought from newegg work like a champ. I don't run them hard, and have them in the open....so I am sure that helps

Everyone that got some, get out your thermal grease and tape, and get ready to deal with the huge mess!
You seem to have a real bad impression of these cards. I have yet to have an experience like you, and I own a boatload. |

The demand is insatiable. I ordered AS SOON as the auto notify got to my mailbox. Must have made it just under the wire.....they were gone when I went back to look at the item page.

Just looked at the ole Deepbit account, and over the life of my account, I have found 37 blocks. Thus, I would expect to have mined approximately 1,850 BTC.
HOWEVER, I have only earned 1,453 BTC. This seems like a huge disparity! Have I just been insanely lucky, and expect my luck to get worse?
Wish I had been solo mining.....
Probably should have been pool hopping. My understanding is that hopping is unethical..... They you shouldn't have paid people 397BTC to do it. You are subsidizing that behavior. I switched to Eclipse.....They claim to be immune from hopping, and I get an instant 3% raise. Win Win!! |

105% PPS "Project #2" now open to new members mining at 1GHash/S and up!
The PPS amount is based on the expected using the current difficulty and then multiplied times 105% We have NO hidden fees!
We do not pay for rejected shares and you can expect to have them in the 1% to 2% range. However our bonus of 5% more than makes up for this.
If you are interested please PM me an e-mail address and a bitcoin address!
Project #2 FAQ
Q: How can I make an account?
A: Please message Goat at the bitcointalk.org forum the following information, your BTC address and your email. Account details will be sent to you shortly.
Q: So all of my miners need to use the same name as my log in account?
A: Yes! and do not forget it is cASe senSitIvE!
Q: Do I need a worker password?
A: No
Q: Why is there a delay in my payout?
A: Goat currently does all of the payout by hand. The payout delay should never be more than 12 hours and can be as fast as half an hour depending on the time of day. Goat has coins in storage to meet all payouts and they are not connected to the servers. Hacking will not be profitable.
Q: Why is your front in so basic?
A: We are in development and right now have a simple but fully working solution. We will take requests and add features to our to do list. Please contact us directly with your ideas.
Q: What payout method do you use?
A: We pay at percent above the expected payout of a PPS system.
Q: How can you pay more than 100% PPS?
A: Our primary revenue source is reselling your hashing power to large long term buyers. We collect hashing power from many small sellers and are able to direct it to a few large buyers.
I am interested in this. I think I am getting screwed at Deepbit. I got 18,000 MH/s.....what is the process? |

IDK, speculation board is hard to decipher. If it hits $4 I'm taking you up on that offer  I reserve the right to adjust the amount of BTC!! |

Until I can get 770Mh/s from a 7900 series I'm a buy on 5970's. I'm not giving up a positive monthly cashflow for a one time capital gain. So if your selling, I have coins I will offer you a pair of 5970's for 155 BTC. Includes shipping. ^Not a great deal Did I say it was? Thanks for the insight. It seems to be getting better by the min right now though..... No shit! What is going on? Another flash crash on the way? |
