I can sale as bulk , Even i can deliver to india ,
Any interested .,
If wanna look photos i can update
They are worthless for mining now. Not much you can do. 9 year old GPU just isnt viable in 2021.

Lol. Crazy to see this old thread of mine still getting some bumps. Yeah the Tahiti were the king GPUs. You had a Large range of coins to mine starting with BTC then LTC then Darkcoin then ETH then ZEC and maybe XMR somewhere in there.
If you got a pair of them, you can sell them on Craigslist as a crossfire setup and they should game fairly well to a rx 570 since they got 3gb of ram. Great time to sell these cards at the moment. Only issue with mine is most fans are shot and can’t get replacements anymore.

Fans ... Change them over to the newer fans with some modifications, or liquid cool them. They are still great cards (we still have quite a few of them at CWI) for 'playing' with and mining some smaller lesser known coins. #crysx

Who still mine with these cards today? Even free electricity is a complete waste if you use this cards, I have six of hd7970 but I've sold 5 already on ebay at a very cheap price, there is no point keeping the cards cos as time goes by they lose more credibility, such a nice cards they are but later no one would want them or talk about them anymore

IF ... and only IF you only care about gambling/profit/all-that-bullshit - then agreed. But as we have different uses for different projects in different agendas, they are VERY useful in more ways than that dribble about Money! As a developmental and testing system, our AMD TestBed, they are great. That is THE problem with everyone today - it's all about Money and nothing else to you all, which shows where your CryptoInterest actually lay. Nowhere in Crypto itself, just the Economic World that the Governments have forced us all into. Period! Complete the opposite of WHY Crypto/BTC was invented in the first place. Not everything is about Money - certainly not with CWI. Hence why you consider almost EVERYTHING based on it's FIAT account, and not it's useful merit. #crysx

Really! Not much good with Power Usage in comparison to todays cards, but depending on what you use them for, they are still good. In our case, Cards that can be ripped to pieces and rebuilt for developmental purposes, and in your case, Sentimental Wall Hangings #crysx

I still mine VTC on a Sapphire R9 280x (and 285). It's about 2000 sats a day per GPU.

I'm interesting how many Vertcoin do you mine per day per GPU? I'm mining Vertcoin with RX550/560 (they are mining like ~1 VTC/day) but I want to compare with older better GPUs

Just maybe - we should share mining tips and miners/OS/parameters for everyone? Or is that thread already created? That is if anyone is interested f course. #crysx

Didn't think there was anything left to mine. Is this the same Vertcoin that came out in 2014? I remember it used slightly more power than Scrypt and scrypt was already pulling like 300 Watts per GPU from the wall.
I remember mining Dogecoin back in 2014 with 2 of these gpus in a single case. The power from the wall was like almost 700 watts with the power meter. And this was only 2 GPUs. These days we got rigs of 5-6 GPUs pulling the same amount of power.
Crazy times.

Yes it's the same coin. But it has forked. It forks away from ASICs. Have been on LyraRev2 and LyraRev3 before. Don't know what algorighm back in 2014. Never the less, it's a great coin. I think you could optimize 79xx GPUs a lot like on Polaris etc. I had an 270x before and that was even profitable in the bear market mining Vertcoin on LyraRev2. I want a HD7950 or such to play with actually. I think it's still profitable on Verthash.. Like mentioned above, it's a bit of history in the crypto space!

I mined all my LTC using 7950's, they absolutely rocked back in 2013. Heated my basement too!

Today a 7970 can mine 350Kh/s at 130W on VTC
At current difficulty 3x 7970 mine 1050/1100khs, more or less 4.5$/day before electric bill, so yes.. in this moment they are back to be profitable, not worth if you have to buy them but if you already have old cards sleeping they are worth a shoot until price of gpu and BTC will normalize

An update.. with an old release of HiveOs that embed Amd drivers 19.20 and lolminer i'm able to mine ethash4g at 23-25mh/s with 140W. Currently is 0,016ETC (1.4$) before electric bill. Not much but at this prices it's amazing an almost 9year gpu could be still make profits

You sure it’s only 140Watts? How did you measure? From the wall? I ask because when I used to mine ETH with my 280x back in 2016, the speed was around 20mhs and power consumption was always around 200 watts. With a 5 GPU rig it consumed about 1000 watts and this is with every GPU undervolted as low as it can possibly go. I would of loved to get 140 watts and 23mhs considering my RX series GPUs hash at like 28-29mhs and they consume 130-140 watts.

There is no coming back for GPUs like HD7970 anymore unlike rx580s, I'm sure the 580s will last few more years before they meet the same fate as the 7970s, I still have this cards today and I've dash out two of them to family member for PC gaming, I have no use for them since I'm running on solar energy, need to save much power as possible
