huh? I was talking about the 5850. The 5850 is 145 right now on there. I've seen people say that the sapphire 5850 can easily achieve 400 mhash with no over volt. So for 5 dollars less you get at least 100 megahash more. |

For 50 dollars less you can pick up at 5770 and those easily get 200mhs. It seems 2mhs/1$ is a sweetspot.

I wouldn't call 2 megahash per dollar the sweetspot. The 5830 @ 130 gives you 2.4 if not 2.5 and the sapphire 5850 has been said to be able to do 400 easily with no over volt that's 2.76 megahash per dollar. The super good deal on the 5870 a week or two ago ($189) can easily give you 2.3. The 5770 can be a good deal but not at 100 if you can get one at 70 or 80 maybe. That's 2.86 but keep in mind all the parts in your server dilute the megahash per dollar value. The only way I think a 5770 build could work is if you could manage to squeeze 8 of them on a mobo but I havent done enough research on that to be positive. |

I could get a 6870 with an aftermarket cooler and voltage control for $180. Is that a better deal than this 6850 for $150, or the 5850 for $175?

A 6870 is just a super expensive 5830 and the 6850 is just a complete waist of money.

I assume the 6870 you are speaking of is the ASUS directCU, if you are using linux, don't do it, you cannot overvolt, because you cannot bios flash :/ Dam non-reference cards. |
VPS, shared, dedicated hosting at: electronstorm.ca. No bitcoin payment for that yet, but bitcoins possible for general IT, and mining/GPGPU rigs. PM for details.

I personally think over volting is a waist of money. Not only does it raise the power consumption of your card exponentially you can also easily kill your card if you push it too hard. |

Be sure to read the mail in rebate small print...limit 1 per household, and it requires a packing slip or invoice(basically something with your address). So basically after the first card for 150 the others will be 165. |

rofl my bad I always spell it wrong apparently and the spell check on firefox only offers "waist". It doesn't give me both options so I just quickly choose that one. From now on ill watch out for it because I feel like I've done it multiple times.  |

Personally I wouldn't, but with the 5k series getting harder to find I figured I'd pass on the deal info if someone was strategically positioned to pull the trigger on one. |
