Those cards were pretty good. I have some rigs based on that architecture in my mining operations and they run just fine for months.
Regarding the price, 2400 since a medium-high price if we consider just the hardware, this changes if it is an already built one since it prices also the ability and time to build it.
Right now I would not buy it because:
- Next generation of GPUs will come out in a few months (probably we will have it on our farms around September)
- FPGA rumors about every GPU algorithm are getting stronger
- ASICs for many GPU algorithms are being released faster than ever
I would be happy to read different/opposite opinions and discuss about pro and cons
msp for those is $150 or lower but they are selling for like $209
250 for the ones with good cooling
id buy them in droves at msp but at $200 plus fuxk no
wait till july for the 11x series to drop, then pick up a bunch of those at msp
