Well done. Didn't really expect any takers anyway given my lack of rep. But, honest question, why do people give out info like this? Given that we're all competing to discover the next correct number, why give away one of the inputs? |

Given that we're all competing to discover the next correct number, why give away one of the inputs? Really it's irrelevant. People so interested in mining would have simply saved more towards a 6870 or 6950 which offers similar or better performance, and has a higher resale rate. People won't stop upgrading just because one model isn't in stock; they'd move on to the next best performer in terms of hashrate/$. |

True, but there is definitely an advantage to having a higher hashrate/$ than the average miner. Can keep adding cards while they have to drop out. |

GPUs are not the only way to mine. Simply the most profitable at this point in time.
My strategy (given away in other posts) is to buy Bitcoin at the 30 day weighted average price. If I am a multi-thousandaire after a year, I will invest in "Big Iron": CPU mining that can scale to thousands of simultaneous threads.
My strategy would be to only mine in response to a drop in overall network performance. The goal would be to buffer crashes in mining capacity, even at a slight loss, in order to preserve the stored value of my bitcoin investment.
People give each other pointers because mining secures the network. There will be other cards.

Guys, are you sure that this card is the best on price/mhash/watt relation? Or are you just buying because they are the last ones?

300Mhash/s for $125 ? Sounds like a good deal to me, and I'm getting them even cheaper than that. I'm not sure about the power consumption though. |

Each of the 5830's I've got uses about 140W per hour. So it costs me about 2 cents per hour (@0.12kWh) to run a single card at full load.

The last ones. $125 (+shipping I imagine) / 300Mhash (most tend to get 285, but lets say 300) is 2.4 Mhash/$. This is pretty good, slightly better than 2.2 for 5850s (with lower power usage). And once they're gone they're gone (except for the large used market). |
