I am going to setup my first RX470 rig.
I am planning a 2nd GPU farm with RX470 in mind for cost effectiveness.
The 2nd GPU farm was a plan in the works with Pandaminer in mind but I decided to test a few 470 rigs for now, since smOS will probably cut most of the ramp-up time.
7 x RX470 with PCI splitter, on a normal H81 mobo, 1840/4GB/smOS
I am looking at Sapphire or MSI 470 and 1300w EVGA.
Phil - MSI 470 / 4GB or wait for Vega?
I love the msi 470 4gb card ,but I sold all of them and found good 8gb cards.
My house is all rx 480 8gb other then the panda miner
If you can find this deal
http://www.diamondmultimediastore.com/radeon-rx400-series 8gb blower style for 199.99
I think it is better then this
http://www.provantage.com/msi-rx-470-gaming-4g~7MST929R.htm red led gamer for 175.35
175.35 x 1.2 = 210
21.5 x 1.2 = 25.8
so the msi stock bios is 175.35 usd + a few bucks to ship it does about 21.5mh
those diamond cost me 199.99 usd 0 ship they will do about 26.2mh
so for me the diamond 8gb are a little better. cause they cost me 199.99 + 0 shipping
the msi cost me about 175.35 + 6 ship = 181.35
diamond is a little louder and hotter. but I will put them in the solar array next week so noise is not an issue.
Pay attention to a move towards 8gb gpu coins that are low market cap .
I still see gpu/pc war against asics continuing .
make sure you have at least ½ in 8gb gpu's
