Workstation vs. Gaming cards?

April 07, 2013, 12:45:49 AM

Does a workstation GPU do better at mining than a gaming GPU? Which part of the GPU actually determines mining efficiency?
Newb here, I'm putting together my first build to (maybe) buy.

workstation cards are more expensive because they have better RAM and are validated to specific standarts.

use regular gaming cards from AMD.
