Hi.

I'm wondering if you guys know of any low-cost ATI GPU's that achieve decent hashrates in relation to their cost. They have to be $100 or cheaper.

Just to clarify, I'm not asking for crazy hashrates at no cost; I'm rather asking for an efficient hashrate to cost ratio. If that makes any sense.

I'd use my HD4530, but OpenCL support for it has been dropped in the latest drivers, and no legacy drivers are working properly for me in linux or windows.

Thanks.

why not try an 5850 or 5830?
I think you can buy them for used cheaper than $100, but I'm in Eu, Hungary, so not sure.

Why would you want to buy multiple low-cost gpus? Buy 1-2 better and more efficient gpus, then you'll be able to add more later.

I don't want to buy multiple. I want to buy one.

Try a 7790. They get decent hashrates, but their main advantage are that they are new, and use VERY little power. If power or lack of warranty isn't a concern, try looking for a 5830 or 5850 on ebay.
