It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It's useful when you put a 2.5lb waterblock on it The card has a tendency to warp leading to broken solder. |

Honestly..It's my gaming card? o.o I prefer my case as to lugging around all my computer components along with tubes, fittings, blocks, the pump, radiators, thermal paste and a gallon of distilled water. I mean I move the computer every 3 months. Id say it's justified.. |

Like 70$ shipped (usa). But I have to buy the block, fittings and crossfire connectors first. For sale at a later date |

It's a sapphire board with 71.5% ASIC quality
Can you explain that?  |

Can you explain that? The GPU matches 71.5% of manufacturer spec. Average is 65-70% My first card is 76.7%. Just measures the leakage. Runs on higher clocks at lower volts |

So you're talking power efficiency?
I think this guy explained it best: It represents the arbitrary number Nvidia or ATI assign a die based on its location and performance figure they are trying to target. Just like it was said before a lower number should have higher leakage, but may also mean a closer to the edge die cut. If everything else were equal a number such as 85% should yield a balance between leakage so you can throw more voltage at it and non faulty transistors from die defects. Lower ASIC values yield better results with water cooling or extreme cooling. Higher is better with air. |

not jsut power. Higher asic quality = able to run higher clocks at a given voltage while at the same time using less power (less leakage). An example is a 60% ASIC quality 7970 may only be able to run 1000MHz @ 1.125v and hit 90C while an 80% quality one would be able to hit 1200MHz @ 1.125v while hitting only 75C. This example may be a bit extreme, but is pretty much the bottom line difference.

The question is : how do you pick out the better chips before buying them ? You can't  |
