Wow Thanks! I learn something new everyday Smiley

whatever happened to scaling pictures down a bit?
My bad! copied directly from iPhoto.

I think I understand how he makes money and why he needs other people's coins.

I also thought the developers of LTC believed in the immunity of Scrypt towards GPU acceleration. But that's another tangent.
Thanks but no thanks, my personal caveat emptor here!

HELLO,

I WANT TO KNOW BITCOIN IS GOOD FOR LONG TERM SAVING PURPOSE ?


I think speculative investment like Bitcoin is good for 15% of my savings. Thats my humble take on it. Think of it as a penny stock with above average potential.

I've been looking at the Visiontek,never bought one thier cards,mainly XFX & Zotac.

Is this the card ? It has good reviews:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129204

I do like the lifetime warranty & reference design & the "no logo" mounting bracket is wide open (I hate twin or more fans,blows hot air around inside my case).

Anyone had to use the warranty  Huh

Also,if you flash the bios "down" to 7950,does it affect gaming?? A secondary reason for getting a 7970................

Since you mentioned games, I am assuming your setup will be windows based.
There's not much of  a point to flash it down to 7950 for a windows PC, since there are tools like MSI afterburner which can control voltage, and clock speed easily. The problem arises in Linux setup, where voltage control for Tahiti is not available but clock control is.

Usually CampBx Asks trails MtGox (i.e. if MtGox price is $10, CamBx is $9.Cool but I am observing the opposite since  last few days.

lol...... one of the cards graduated and the rest didnt ?
They are three 7970 and are directly facing the fans in the vent Wink
2248  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Your Electricity Cost per Kwh (Which country is the Most Expensive) on: August 07, 2012, 05:52:57 AM
there are no tiers on my current plan.  for the last 6mo it's been ~8c/kwh,

this is near Tyler, Tx

Natural gas prices, which dictate the market price of wholesale electricity, remain at record lows.    (well, for this area anyway)

but, there is this other plan, where the first 1500 kwh is 10.9c, next 1000kwh is 9.3c, and all kwh after that is 6.9c

then this "Large Power" plan where the minimum bill is $475, with rate of 5.14c

all the poor wind farms that cant even get their electricity on the grid
Wow which provider provided this Large power plan in TX? I wanna check the availability in Houston!

Probably the OP wants to make memclock 150.

I have found that flashing the default ATI 7950 Bios to any 7970, reduces the power consumption substantially, of course at 925MHz clock rates. I have noticed using a DMM that he 7950 Bios reduces the VDD to around 1.02V and is useful for Linux based mining rigs, since I could not find a software to control voltages of Tahiti based cards in Linux.

How is the success rate on 7950 flashing?

100% success on XFX Double D 2 cards
100% .. on Reference 7970 4 cards
0% .. on MSI Twin Frozer III  (ATIWinflash crashes midway, tested 5 times using both Win 7 and Win XP)

That really wasn't meant to be serious. Next time I will add a lot of lolsomg100011!!! so the kiddies understand.
hmm, real mature Tongue

^ How you haven't burned your house down by now is beyond me.  Why is there a piece of paper attached to a card......kindling?
I would take a Physics course first before jumping to random conclusions
Autoignition temperature of Paper: 450 °C (842 °F)[7] or 218–246 °C (424–475 °F)[8]

The piece of paper blocks airflow towards inside of the room.

Hey, did you check the continuity of the fuse that is in your PS?

This may be a consolidation phase, before the next leg begins.
2260  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crash!!!! on: August 05, 2012, 09:21:07 AM
It's about time.  We're probably headed for the 8s, at least.
I think 10 would be a good price point until december. Let's see how things shape up.
