Yes assuming your using 11.6b or higher.

He's just mad because he is trying to sell 6950's as well and your prices beat him.

If you buy all 4 together that's an amazing deal. That's 159 a card and they are 2gb so you might be able to unlock the shaders (don't know which brands can do this). After you post some kind of pic as proof these will probably sell instantly.

Alright, I have my 2x 5830 rig up and running LinuxCoin on a 16gb usb device, 4gb persistence file. First rig ever. First time using Linux ever.
It feels rather exciting to be writing this message from my new rig...
Anyway, I'm just poking around, trying to simultaneously learn linux and figure out how to start mining. I opened the Bitcoin client... that's grabbing the blockchain right now...
I opened GUIminer... and it says, "NO OpenCL devices detected". Question: What does this mean? Do I need new / better drivers for my cards?
Any help is greatly appreciated... thanks!
Yea that means you don't have the correct drivers installed. |

it actually generates less. 5850's TDP is 150w, that means it's designed to dissipate 150w of heat. the actual usage, even at 100% load, will draw less than 150w. overclocking the core (however underclocking the memory) might put you close to the TDP, but it shouldn't go over unless there's heavy overvolting.
and also note that AC and DC power are a little different. the rated 150w TDP is based on DC pulled from the PSU, when you read 1000w your meter, that's AC power, which is pulled from the wall. in this case, you need to take into account the PSU efficiency before claiming it's 170w of real DC power draw
I have a CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139014) How would I go about calculating watts used by each card then? Any one have an answer to this? |

4-5 months, I think it's the angle and the flash on the camera, it looks more dusty in that picture then it is.
How fast was the fan run at? |

This is the first 5870. This 5870 was ran at 900/314 in Diablo Miner it would get around 400mh/s.
At this time I can not find the box for this item so it will be a card only. I am asking $200 in BTC for it.
How long have you had it? It looks extremely dusty. |

I might be interested in a 5870 if the price is fair and its a reference card.

I would like to find a 6870 at $150 that is not a rip-off "after MIR price" or out of stock. Really would. If enough vendors have stock, I have made it down to $165 or so by picking a higher priced vendor with a "Price match and then 25% of the difference" deal. $150 is a pretty good sale price, if you can find them. (note, I am speaking of reference, as overclocking on non-reference, AKA ASUS DirectCU, is pretty limited)
Why is the mail in rebate that big of a deal? Newegg has plenty of cards that go down to around 150 with mail in rebate so its not like you can only get one. |

I got mine up to 411Mh at 1000/333 but it wasn't stable and I didn't feel like bumping the voltage.
Right now I'm happy with the 402-3 Mh I'm getting with 975/325.
Your doing something wrong if you need 975/325 to get to 400 megahash. I only need 950/325 to get 400. Are you using the sapphire card? |

I saw that sitting there for awhile at 200. 127 is a wicked good deal that's like getting a 5830. |
|

Just helping you find a good price point. I'm not interested but anywhere between 600-700 would be the range some one would probably pay. That's with the 5830's at 130 each and everything else about 20% off because its used.

That system cannot possibly be drawing 1kw of power, unless you have multiple GPU's. I calculate it would use about 230w, PSU efficiency included.
I updated the post there's 5 5850's I mentioned it a little earlier in the thread and I assumed it was known already. Plus I wrote that when I was drunk lol it actually generates less. 5850's TDP is 150w, that means it's designed to dissipate 150w of heat. the actual usage, even at 100% load, will draw less than 150w. overclocking the core (however underclocking the memory) might put you close to the TDP, but it shouldn't go over unless there's heavy overvolting.

yes, they are fine. ordered a bunch of 5850s from them a while back. got them OK, took some time.
Yea I got 5 5850's from them as well. Took them a couple days to finally ship out the product but otherwise I had no problems with them. |

More like 50w if your sempron is just idling while mining...
Total, 200w would be my guess.
Then again, it also depends how efficient your PSU is... add 20% or more to those figures for the heat loss from the transformers in the PSU.
I'll just post exact specs. MSI 890FXA-GD70 corsair 1200watt gold series 5xsapphire hd 5850 2x1gb ram this hd ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136770&Tpk=22-136-770) Sempron 130 At 920/325 I get around 1kw. I'm too lazy to find exact numbers feel free to figure it out if you want. |

Amazon sells new 5830s on a regular basis still, however they are not usually $130. I usually see them selling on there for $150-$180 and even more depending on the card.
You can get multiple 6870's at 150 (exactly the same card but requires less power). Amazon for the most part is a rip off |

This is true. I am assuming a stock card when I say 150w, and even then, that's not really an exactly accurate number.
Yes I agree that's an estimate on my part but I have a semperon so 150w for mobo/ram/cpu/hd is a pretty safe bet. |
