Because your cost calculations weighted with equipment costs and wattage results in a better earning and shorter ROI on 7950s
I'd like some numbers on that better kh/J claim. Shorter ROI doesn't mean shit if you're planning to mine in the long run. Enjoy spending an extra $100 per GPU and extra money for electricity costs to get almost no increase in hash rate (if you can even get 700Kh/s, that is). I'll mine with my 4 GPUs doing 700Kh/s each while you mine with your equally expensive 3 GPUs doing 750Kh/s each. This I have a 7970 (msi lightning) , one of the best 7970's you can get and there's bugger all i can do to get it over 650. My 7950's do 670-680 easy, and that's not even pushing them (I can get over 700 but choose not to due to extra heat/power). |

How many MH/s are 7950s getting on SHA-256? Seems the highest I've seen is about 550MH/s, while 7970 do 700MH/s easy enough.

605Mh/s is easy enough. SHA coins are shit, though. |

Took everything to get 700KH/s out of them. |

Too get at least 600, you need to powertune to 20. |

Sounds like you took the worst 7970 out there. As I said, I've got a batch of 12 Sapphire 7970's that ALL do 750 easily, most of them more. |

Can some of you guys post your CGMiner settings for your 7950's? I have an xfx 7950 DD, and I can't get it past 500 KH/s...If I try to OC at all, the driver crashes  |

Also, any thoughts on this card for mining?
Powercolor Radeon HD 7970 925MHZ 3GB 5.5GBPS GDDR5 V3 DVI HDMI 2XMINIDP PCI-E Video Card
It's on sale at NCIX for $359.99.
I'm looking to add a card, and I'm torn between the 7970 and another 7950

What settings do you use for 750s? And 800?  Right now I'm getting 730s with 1050/1500 on my Sapphire 7970s |

i find the power to hash ratio is higher with a 7950.

It's because people with 7950s aren't mentally challenged. 7950 hits 690Kh/s easily with way less power usage and a lot less cost per GPU.
But it also has less resale value. You're right about cost per watt and heat, 7970 was running way too hot when I got it and I have to undervolt it. |

So... did we come to the conclusion that 7950's are better now?
If so, what exact model gives you the most kh/s?
