I'm looking at building a mining rig for various scrypt coins, I'm a bit confused as to which model of AMD 7950 is best. I can get my hands on the following model at the link below. Will that be good enough?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3GB-AMD-Radeon-HD-7950-GDDR5-PCI-Express-x16-Graphics-Card-/131062693730?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item1e83f1ff62

Any help would be much appreciated.

Depends on which OS you are using, I say MSI and gigabyte are good brand...

Got 3 of these. I get about 610 from each, but could probably get around 650. Have overlocked/undervoltet but not much. Using cgminer.

Thanks for input. Will likely be using a Linux based OS.

I'm using a Gigabyte HD 7950 WF (WindForce) 3.       It has 3 coolers on it instead of 2.  Hashing about 590-600 kh/s (on Scrypt) with intensity 18.

{Curently quite inactive as I'm really busy in my private life. I will get back soon!}

Is there a reason you necrorezzed a 3.5 year old and badly outdated thread?
