There is no double shipping. Escrow means I send my bitcoins to someone trusted here on the forums such as hashking, he holds the funds, you ship it out, I receive the goods, and I tell him to release the funds.
Also fwiw, I won't resell it either; I have 3 PCI-E slots available I can plug these 5970's into and I intend to use em for as long as gpu mining is profitable. I can increase my offer to $275 each but thats about my top of the mark. I own 4 5970's and I've paid 202, 240, 250, and 250 shipped for each of them within the last 2 months. But if you want to sell it on ebay, then by all means..
Thanks for the escrow clarification, never used it so I guess that was my own idea of how it worked! You found some good deals, keep that up but alas the only cards on eBay for $275 are dead ones... Yeah I saw that too. I got an addon to help be snipe attractively priced cards that are good for mining. Haven't seen anything pop up lately though except for some 6950's for $124 and and some 5850's for $120 and $110 (I bought one for $110 about 30 minutes ago  ) Anyways, good luck with your sales. I'm sure some other miners will jump on them. I heard 420 is looking for some cards to mine on, might want to PM him. He can be a little annoying though. |

I offer $270 ...
Also would you do escrow?
I can take Amazon, Dwolla, BTC and (I guess? never used 'em) MtGox codes As for $270... well then I would just keep mining with them or go eBay. Generally I would rather keep them "in the community" and save the fees and do it the easy way. Escrow is going to increase costs (double shipping) and while I'm open to it, that's just more fees. At this point I'm not using some 1-time random account - used this handle for years online and I'm not going to rip people off - beside the simple fact of it being easily traceable back to me beyond that I think integrity still means something - heck I'll give you my name/address/local police number ... I'm flexible and open to ideas, but a lot more so at 58BTC  There is no double shipping.

I offer $270 shipped for one 5970 to 54501. I -might- be interested in BOTH 5970 ($540). I don't have the entire amount immediately available in bitcoins, but I do have a fistful of coins I can put down as a down payment. The rest of my money is currently in a bank account. I do have a dwolla account though. If you would prefer bitcoins though, then I would have to jump through some hoops to get money out of bank account into dwolla or paypal or something and buy coins from members in OTC, or buy mtgoxusd and buy at market price.
Also would you do escrow?

Wow, you sold em with a HUGE price premium.

I'll do $135 shipped to 54501 (Gonna cost about $10 to ship). I will also do 10 BTC + shipping to Finland... though I've never shipped to Finland, can I used FedEx or UPS or should I use USPS?
Sure you can't squeak out $130? I can accept a slower shipping service, or any other money savers you can think of. Also can do paypal, but if you prefer only bitcoins, will need to wait about 3-4 days for me to mine the full amount with 6.6 ghash, unless you will take payments to secure my spot as buyer. Also do you have any other cards available? Tough to track what has been sold and what's available. Would be easiest if you did strikethrough on the items you sold already or decided not to sell |

multirail bad choice. good luck load balancing without trigger overcurrent protection...

Would you do $80 shipped to 54501 for the i3 + heatsink? One of my buddies is trying to get a computer built complete with accessories (kb/mouse/monitor/speakers) but doesn't have a lot of money to work with. This is still all up in the air for now.

What gpu does it use though?
A standard 5970 is a 5870 that runs at lower voltages and lower clock speeds. This is basically a 5970 that runs at 5870 (or above) voltages and clock speeds, and is capable of hefty overclocks. Custom PCB, beefy cooler, very limited edition, etc. To get 1GH/s, I think each core is somewhere around 1100MHz. 1100mhz sounds about right, maybe just a hair under with optimized kernel/sdk/settings/etc. I have a "golden" 5870 that ran these clocks, but only in the dead of night in the coldest nights of winter. I have a screenshot of guiminer showing a hair over 500 mhash with a 5870 clocked at 1080 core, and later 511 mhash with 1110MHz clock. I could've optimize memory speeds at that core but didn't know any better at the time. Probably could've squeaked out 515 or higher. Anyways, free bump. Ares cards are WAY out of my price range. I would only offer $300 shipped, but I'm sure you could get something ridiculous like $600 on ebay.. |

10BTC for 1 5870 + shipping costs to Finland (if those wont be too much)
-fankih-
9BTC for 1 5870 to california Why would the seller take a smaller offer? O_o Anyways, I offer $130 worth of BTC shipped to 54501 (just a hair under 11 BTC at the time of posting this) |

I don't use GUIMiner anymore. I switched from GUIMiner to Phoenix 2 when it got updated to version 2 (guiminer doesnt support phoenix 2 because it uses a cfg file instead of command-line arguments), then I later switched to bfgminer (a fork of cgminer) because I needed better pool connection behavior. The hashrates between bfgminer and phoenix 2 should be identical given that I'm using the same kernels and kernel arguments.

[update]
Power differences are significant enough to justify the effort.
running at 900/750@0.925v my card draws 142w
running at 900/150@0.925v my card draws 125w
running at 1100/950@1.055v my card draws 236w
running at 1100/150@1.055v my card draws 200w
Dropping the vmem voltage from 1.6 down to 1.5 nets about 2-4w when running at higher memory speeds (700+)
but doesnt do much at lower 150mhz speeds (less than 1w, well within the scope of inaccuracy of my power meter)
kind regards
Do you believe this will work with radeon 69xx cards not dropping memory below 150 of core too? I seen a lot of people complaining about this. |

also interested in 5970's. the power supply is too expensive for my taste though, unless you're letting it go for cheap. i'm located zip code 54501
|
|
|
|
so does this mean the competitor will be able to catch up? I do hope so..  necro much? |
|
|
|
and im pretty sure the OP has no interest in selling them at this point since he obviously hasnt contacted any of us yet  |

use 1x width risers. they're cheaper and less can break with them. you will need to file the edge off the "short" side so it can accept 16x width cards (e.g. graphics cards). the increased length also takes longer for the electrical signal to get to and from the device/mnotherboard. you may need to increase pci-e latency in the bios (people call it pci latency, but I thought pci wasnt the same as pci-e)

2 of those are the Radeons with the aftermarket-style fan, it may be an original Sapphire but it doesn't have the glorious turbine fan.
The other one has a turbine, but it's more like an ancient 8800 GTX-style, I think Dell computers that came with 5850s would have received a card like that. Certainly not reference.
I had one of those 5850s, and mined with no issues. It's def not a reference board, but I liked the blower style coolers. I believe mine was out of an Acer or a Gateway, I never could tell... THATS a 5850? O_o I got a "5850" from someone on ebay that looked like that, but it detected as a 4850. |

Thanks for letting us know. The miner effectiveness page was broken because of an over-tight security setting. I just fixed it, enjoy!

I didn't know about the user-agent header. I'm using cgminer with the diablo kernel. How is that combination reported? As cgminer or diablo? It seems like the kernel you're using is more important than the client. cgminer. kernel is irrelevant when reporting the miner. it will report diablominer if you're using diablominer. |
