The point is that its an unwarrantied, old gen, high power card. Most likely had a hard life with BTC mining and then with LTC mining so if anything happens like a capacitor blows up or VRM fails, its a huge loss.
But right now I rather buy 2 R7 370 for around $240USD and get 34mh/s rather then pay $415USD for this and I at least get warranty. And it uses 1 PCIe 6 pin each GPU instead of 2x8pin. However I would lose a motherboard PCIe slot.
It would sell if only the price was more reasonable.
Oh yeah, its totally not really good for mining. Its 3-4x the cost per hash and power consumption. Its basically two 280x. As such its not really dated gen. The r9 380 is kind of just as much. Though who know what this card has been through.
its 2x 7970's
And what is a 7970? Its a 280x. Or rather the 280x is a rebrand of 7970. They're the Tahiti GPU.
Actually soo many people are wrong about these cards.. That's because they talk with no 1st hand knowledge.....
(Yes it's 2x HD7970's in one)
My HD7990 at stock speeds (1000/1500) with a 100mv undervolt, and extra fan pushing air over it, was hashing (as of yesterday once I shipped it)at 42-46MH (averaged 44)
and only used 380watts and ran at 65/61C (one GPU always runs hotter than the other).. Quite profitable..
Glad this one sold too. As long as you keep them cool, they last for ever.
Which is like buying two 7950 or two 280x, for the price of 4. Well, more like 5, after the shipping cost and... time to receive it in NA, that OP quoted me, it's actually 6~
But you might of missed the important part, where you can get the same hashrate, for half the power consumption, for cheaper. That was my salient point.
