so you want me to use a MOBO with 2 PCIx slots?
And with this comment, I will not entertain anymore of your posts until you spend a good day reading as many posts as you can to learn first, then ask good questions later. Awesome. I will consider us even then. |

I can make rigs that get 1.2 ghz with a better than 1.5 ratio... does that count?  (all new parts too) absolutely counts....can you give me some details? I need cases.....these go in an office building, and it does not help "our look" to have computer parts strewn about. |

But seriously. I will give you $5,250 to make me 5 of these (must be properly configured for 1,500 MH/s each)....that should leave you a very large profit margin. |

I should have prefaced with this: I DON'T WANT SOMEONES USED CRAP.
Show me where I can build a NEW system that gets 1500 MH/s for $1,000.

So let me get this right: step 1) buy 4 video cards that are not readily available, and the ones that are easily exceed your claimed "price" (at least 200 a piece) step 2) buy 1250 Watt PSU, 4 PCIx MOBO, processor, RAM under $420  Step 3) profit! Foolproof. |

How can you possibly get 1500 MH/s for $1,000? I would love to see where to buy this setup. In fact, I will take 5 completed systems if you can do it at that price.

Newegg is sold out of every 6970 except one. A week ago you could pick from a dozen.
It seems like mining adoption is ACCELERATING despite the fall in price and the uptick in difficulty. Amazing.
I guess it makes sense though, how many other investments can offer a 100% ROI in about 4 months? Until it takes a year or more to pay off the hardware, I doubt the adoption rate will slow.

As less robust miners drop out, the difficulty will go down, thus making it more profitable for those who remain.
The network will find an equilibrium, and it will be very much survival of the fittest (or most efficient).

thanks Deepdown....I will send it tonight.
One other question to anyone who knows: Dikidera said that Crossfire decreases performance? Can anyone confirm this? And if I take off the crossfire connectors, will Windows still recognize all 3 GPU's?
I have had trouble in the past with multiple cards being found.
THANKS!

Hence the scare quotes around free.
I am not stealing anything....I have been given permission to utilize the infrastructure.
If anyone has anything constructive to add in terms of competitive advantage, I am all ears.

Thanks everyone.
Deepdown, I would like to shoot you a donation for helping me out.....you got me an extra 500 MH/s (I have a LARGE farm). Give me an address if you like.

Is "free" power over time? I am lucky enough to have access to copious amounts of electricity that cost me nothing, and figure I could run at least 10,000 MH/s before running into any limitation. All climate controlled, secure, and wired up the hilt.
I am just wondering if anyone has done the math.

Where do I choose which kernal to use within GUIminer? I found the flag no problem (thanks!), but am struggling with the Kernal.
Thanks all.

I am using GUI miner......is that part of the problem?

I just built a new rig last night with 3x6970, and I would like to ask for some assistance.
I have the 3 GPU's successfully set-up in crossfire config, windows finds them all just fine, and GUI miner is doing its thing with all 3.
My issue is with over-clocking and MH/s. I am always seeing on this board that 400+ MH/s is the standard for 6970's. Unfortunately, all I am getting is about 360. I am clocking them at 910 MHz at the moment, as anything over that and I usually end up with a frozen machine.
Anyone have some experience with getting a stable overclock that could lend some advice? I would like to get up to 950 Mhz, then maybe I could get the magical 400 MH/s per card.
THANKS!!

Just something I noticed:
I recently switched from using the same login for all 16 of my miners to using seperate workers. I seem to be getting a 10% bump in my average MH/s rate after the switch.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a rational explanation?

I will be curious to see how many people begin dropping out when the difficulty passes 2,000,000. It could prove a boon to people that have cost advantages over other miners.
