Sorry maybe I was wrong, it looks like they actually had two models, one for 109 and one for 119 https://i.imgur.com/VSzta.pngI think I had mixed them up (what's the difference anyway? I got the 109 model 2 weeks ago) |

I am sure they could sell them for 50 bucks more and they would still sell out...

I got the 109 model 2 weeks ago) I'm pretty sure those are both the exact same card and someone just typed a '-' in the model name of one and didn't in the other, so it's showing up as 2 different cards. 100297-2L and 100297L...c'mon Newegg  |

It would lead me to believe the higher cost one overclocks better because of what looks like (I'm no specialist) VRM's? Or a higher concentration of them? In any case you cannot go wrong with either version. |

Ah, well then. It's a boner on Sapphire's part then, giving two different cards the same model number  |

It's a boner on Sapphire's part then, giving two different cards the same model number the model number is different. i have both cards. one comes in a GIANT box (109$) and the other in a rather small box (119$). and yes, the cards are physically different, at least the PCI slot end (the part with the DVI plug and vent), other than that i have not inspected it much. |

I got the 109.99 model 2-3 weeks ago and it's running at 975 core, ~ 300+ MH/s
I also must have gotten lucky on an old reference 5850 I bought 1.5 years ago, I just had it hit 400 MH/s

These are ridiculously hard to find in stock and this thread title was a painful tease.

What "premium" are you willing to pay to get these scarce 5830 cards? Would you pay $25 on top of retail value found on bitminer.info? How about $50? What about rebates? Do you consider those in the price tag? I want to order from a site online that has "very few" of these cards for $220 with a $30 rebate. Would you suggest I buy it, or wait for a lower price? This is the model: (ASUS Radeon HD 5830 1GB GDDR5 Video Card with Eyefinity)Been mining with my everyday computer at 20Mh/s.  Wanna start for real now. |

No way, Panda, there are several users here on the forum selling for more like $160 for new cards.
Check over in the marketplace.
