Hello,
I plan to retire my 6x750ti and since everybody is talking about gigabyte 970 what model to choose? There are two Windforce models: GV-N970WF3-4GD and GV-N970WF3OC-4GD...
retire? ...
the best system ( outside of density ) that you can use currently to date ...
another 18 will be added to the farm very shortly to thefarm - once all the 'other' stuff is got out the way ( including all the personal 'stuff' ) ...
are you in australia? ... ill happily have a home for them ...

How many cards do you have now? Where I live a used 750ti goes for around $100 on the second hand market. I am expanding slowly, but ROI is still 6-12Months. The reward/risc is high.
altogether? ...
i havent counted - but about 43 or so gigabyte 750ti oc lp ...
it is this that causes me angst with thefarm ... which is why the entire lot is being rebuilt - so there are no second guesses ... each machine will be exactly the same with the exact same hardware and software ...
thefarm at the moment is different numbers of cards in different motherboards and different hdds and different psus ... working long hours and in difficult circumstances ( work and personal ) to get all this done ... now pretty much by myself as those that were helping ( and the main colleague i had here that was helping in the redesign and build of the new frames for the workers ) have all left ...
this is not including around 25 or so gigabyte 7970 oc / 280x oc cards that are the other side of the farm in different locations ...
here in australia - the gigabyte 7970 oc and 280x oc cards ( at the time of purchase ) were around the $430AUD each - which are now about $380AUD each ...
the gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards are still around the $180AUD each - but we secured a deal for bulk purchase at a bit lower than that ...
all new ... none are second hand ...
i have never looked at roi - its not a fiat transacting business here ... we do it for the btc accumulation and spending - and the growth and expansion of the granitecoin market ( that i took over a while back ) which has been growing slowly and organically ...
had it been a fiat based business and based on roi - i would have shut it down a long time ago ... as the electricity here in australia is a bloody rip off at 0.30-0.43 per kilowatthour ... bloody ridiculous ...
BUT - with all that sp - confidence in what is being done is high and i think we ( when i say we - i mean my partner and i - NOT work colleagues anymore ) can get a grip on this whole situation and make it all come together and work seamlesley ...
this is why we look forward to your updates and advice and answers - along with djm34 and wolf0 and tsiv and klaust and all the other devs ... and also why the donation links have taken so long - especially due to personal issues that are holding me back in many more ways than im willing to admit or share here ...
i wish i had the coding expertise as you have to work with you all - but i dont ... so i rely on what you have to offer - both opensource public and private ... maybe there are other ways thefarm can work with you devs - other than coding on my behalf ... im open to ideas ...
btw - you still havent answered my questions about cuda 7 and the compile issues that i asked previously mate
... and your advice if you would also please ...
tanx ...
