Why in the comparison table there are different entries for the same card? What is the difference?
And why some of them are colored with different color?
There is multiple information submitted for the same chips, so they are listed multiple times. It's not multiple listing for the same card. They need more info, honestly. Take the Radeon HD 5830, for example. You can't just list "5830", or even "Sapphire 5830". Sapphire made 3-4 different 5830 cards. Each company that released a 5830 probably made multiple ones as well. Not all cards are made the same. Some are sold overclocked. Some sold at stock speeds overclock more than those sold pre-overclocked. Different cards use different memory. There are lots of differences. Listing JUST the chipset doesn't help. Some 5830 cards released in 2010 may mostly be reference designs. Maybe bad 5850/5870 chips crippled and sold as 5830s that suck up a lot of power and don't overclock well. Ones released in 2011 have more efficient, non-reference designs. Maybe they are 5850/5870 chips that have simply been sold as 5830 chips because of the demand for 5830 chips, so they run cooler and overclock better. Chip name, Manufacturer of card, model # (plus revision, if possible), manufacture date, then GPU speed, memory speed, Voltage, Operating System, drivers used, miner used, and command-line switches. THAT would give you a good idea of what card does what. Regarding colors of entries ... I have no clue. Thank you for your explanation. About manufacturers, how do i choose the best one?

No, you're right. 5970 is best in MHash/s/W. I have straight comparison... 5970 vs. 2x5870 vs. 2x6970 and I definitely prefer 5970. If you can buy it, don't hesitate.
What could be the right price for it?  I bought older one for 250 euro. Where? Was it used? |

I want the best video card for MHash/Watt and 5970 is ok. I have checked again the comparison table and 5970 should be the best solution.
Am i wrong?

You couldn't have seen the 6990x2, since it doesn't exist. 6990's are NOT good for mining in terms of euro/MHash or euro/Watt, especially for you, OP. In your situation, I would go for a 5830, you could crossfire it with your 5850 for gaming, and it would be the best value for money you can get. Where are you located, I might be able to help you with prices. I just got 3 5830's in Holland, but there's even better prices in France, Germany/Austria, etc.
In previous posts people told me to buy 5970. Then i asked if two 5870s are better then one 5970. Now you are suggesting to buy the 5830 and use it with the 5850. Then what is the best solution for Mhash/Watt? I live in Italy... |

Sorry for my newbie question, i have never been a gamer or hardware upgrading addicted so i don't know anything about video cards!
I see the hardware comparison page on the BitCoin wiki and i see that ATI 6990 are the best, is it right?
On some rows i see 6990x2 or 6990x3, what do they mean?
Thank you.
Using 2 and 3 cards at the same time. Ok, thank you. I make this question because i found on some shops the ATI 6990 and in other shops i see the ATI 6990 X2. Are they the same card? |

Hello, i want to start mining, what video card do you suggest?
What is the best? 5970 all the way! Why it is the best? 5970s are incredibly hard to source now. Is "s" another model or it's the same video card? I don't like this thread-jacking... What do you mean for "thread-jacking"? |
