I'm looking at adding more video cards to my rig, but I am going to be adding them one by one instead of all at once.
Based on price and hashrate for scrypt, I'm thinking the better way to go is 3x7950s (~$960) since I've seen others able to get about 700khash/s with overclocking. What do you think?

@Invest0r: Thanks for the input. @Starlightbreaker: What were they selling for? I always seem to miss good opportunities.  @rgzen: Haven't seen any for sale yet, and I'm sure the price would be insane. |

Is the investment worth it? What are your earning predictions?

7950s all the way ...for me at least .I can say these cards seem to perform very good especially in scrypt . On the other hand I seen many people complaining about the new 7970s locked or underperforming.

@Caesar V: With all 3 + my 5870 I already have, currently it would be ~$60/day or 12.6 coins/day. If it pays for itself in 16 days ill be more than happy.  Even with just 1 which I am planning to start with at first will pay for itself in ~13 days. @juve4v: Thanks for the info. |

First 7950 on the way, glad I waited until I did since the price dropped $30. Thanks again everyone! |

Can cards be mixed?
I have a 7850 which I am going to use for LTC mining. My board can take another card.
Can I put in a 7950 alongside it or do both cards *have* to be the same?
I can get a 2nd 7850 fairly easily.
Thanks.

I believe the only time that it matters is if you're doing crossfire, but even then I think certain ranges of cards can be mixed, like a 5850 and 5870 for example. For mining it doesn't matter if you mix.
