Hi, So i ordered a few 5870s a month or two ago for 180 bucks, now i cant find one on ebay for cheaper than 240. At this price increase do you think the 5850s are a better deal or should i just wait and scoure ebay for 5870's the issue is the more time im looking for these cards there is an oppurtunity cost, i figure i could probably order 2-3 5850s today and be mining already but then i would lose on the hash rate 420 for a 5870 rather than 350 for the 5850. What do you think i know there are a million threads like this but im just trying to be cost effective right now i dont want to spend more than 4-500 on cards the machine ill be running these cards in is a 4xpci asrock with a sem 145 and 2gb of ram, 1000 watt psu i think the psu is probably more than enough for 4 cards, either 5830s, 5850s, or 5870 wel maybe no 4 5870s but 3 for sure....
