Hi all

I'm looking to buy a 7950 because it's not expensive but I'm not sure if it will work for mining.

The one that I want to buy doesn't look like other 7950.

Let me know if it's a normal 7950

 Thank

Are you going to mine on Nvidia ? It is not really effective
You can find better videocards for mining with the same price I think: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

You're looking at the wrong 7950 there - the commonly used card for mining is the AMD Radeon 7950, while the one you're referring to is the much older nVidia 7900GS. Not only is it much slower, but it's not capable of mining using current software as it doesn't support CUDA or OpenCL.

Thanks a lot Kreigyr that's what I was thinking.

Smiley Will look to find another card.
