I would like to ask you Guys, is this a good video card to mine on? I know the wiki thread. I know it gets very nice mh/s but perhaps there is someone here who mines on 5970 and could share his experience with me?  |

No that card is ancient, where did you find it. You should sell it to me. I will buy it for $350 if it is in good condition. Another $200 more and you can get a 7970 which is 2000 better than a 5970.

You can even get a brand new NES if you want to "Brand new" doesn't really have any value unless it is coming from an authorized retailer. No OEM is going to take a sales receipt from kliffen at documentation for warranty. I wouldn't pay extra for "new in the box" 5970. Anyone can take a used card, drop in in a mint condition box and call it "new in the box". Show me a retailer which has new 5970s at any decent price (<$400). |

Ignore kliffen. He is trolling. Last week on the BTC-E chat he was saying he borrowed 400 000 USD to buy 10 rig boxes  There is no way you get a new 5970 now from anywhere simply because they are EOL for a long time now and 7990 should soon be out etc. |

I never said i had the money, i said i was talking to the bank about it, and doing the math on it. Please get your facts right And you can absolutely get a new 5970 from "somewhere". If you can get 20 year+ old consoles with factory seals on them, why wouldn't you be able to get a 2 year old graphics card with a factory seal on it? It's all about determination and the price you have to pay. |

You cannot get 5970's new from anywhere especially not in quantity......... if you can tell me where to get them new, I will pay 400 per! |

I saw one at some obscure webshop about 2-3 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the price was $1200 or so though. Here's one in Sweden for 4000 SEK http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=614245 It says "1 in stock soon", to all you non-scandinavians |
