[Sold] 3x 5970 and 1x 5870

[crazyates]

Sold.

I have 4 GPUs here, and I'm throwing them out there for people to make offers on. As you can see, all 4 are blower reference fans. I'm also open to trades: all 3 5970s for a Single. They are (from top to bottom):

1x PowerColor 5870 - Mines at 925,300,1.000 stable, and also plays games @ 900,1300,1.075. No issues. (I'd rather keep this one as it has an HDMI port, and it's the one I game on).

1x AMD Reference 5970 - I have it mining at 675,300,0.95 for 600+MH/s @ ~200W. The PCI bracket is a little crooked, but still fits. One core runs a little hotter (~6C @ 50% fan) than the other, even after re-applying thermal paste.

1x Sapphire 5970 - I mine at 675,300,0.95 for 600+MH/s @ ~200W. It was declared SICK twice in the first week I got it, but hasn't done it in the past 3 weeks.

1x Diamond 5970 - I have had this mining, but it's very unstable. Causes driver crashes sometimes. I did an oven-reflow (385 F for 9 minues), and now it mines on core 2, but it still somewhat unstable. I honestly havn't played with this card that much, as I've just been running the other 3 cards. Still, gimme an offer if you can use it (or fix it).

Mia backed out. Open to offers!

Would 20 BTC get me a 5870 card?

Would 20 BTC get me a 5870 card?

Sorry, but I'd rather sell the 5970s first.

[BryMaster]

Okay.  I do not have enough yet for those.  Will check back.

Thanks.

[crazyates]

Bump. I'm also open to trades. All 3 5970s for a Single?

[crazyates]

Bump.

[crazyates]

Still up for sale.

Would you say there is headroom on the ref + sapphires for core speed? 675 seems low. I'm in the game for maybe 1 5970. 2 would stretch my funds too thin.

Yes I suppose I should clarify. I'm running them at 675MHz at 0.950 Volts, which gives me 615MH/s at ~200Watts. They do run at 825MHz at stock (1.050) Volts, which gives 765MH/s at ~300Watts.

Heat, power, AND noise are all big factors for me, so I usually run my cards undervolted to the minimum, with --auto-fan and --temp-target 70.

Well I meant headroom @ 0.95v. I currently run that on all my cards that are capable, but with increasing exchange rates, I might be looking into running 1.063v instead (volterras seem to have steps. running 0.949v = 0.95v, 0.95v = 0.95v, 0.951v = 1.063v). My ambient is identical to outside temperature seeing as I run my rigs literally outside, so I don't need to mess with noise or pumping heat out of the house. .... Probably got off topic there, but you get the idea.

edit: noting that I have a pending on 2 5970's in another thread. If you find a different buyer for your 5970's, then by all means let them have it.

Ah I see. No, I tried jumping to 700MHz, and they crashed. I saw other people running 675 @0.95 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55337.0 , so I thought that was pretty average.

If your other offers fall through, let me know In the mean time, these are still for sale!

[ssateneth]

Free bump for you. I got some first hand experience with 2 5970's. I have cores stable at 675, 685, 720, and 745 @ 0.95v, so I guess 675 is pretty normal
I'm still interested, but I'm strapped for cash pretty bad right now. Let me know if $240 shipped to 54501, USA for the AMD/Sapphire 5970's is in the ballpark of being acceptable though. I -MIGHT- be able to work some funds out, but don't hold your breath.

Also something I found interesting. I got an ATI and a HIS branded 5970. The only difference is the sticker. The BIOS's between the 2 cards were identical. CRC32/SHA matched.

I'll update the OP, but all 4 cards are sold. Thanks!
