ETA: I've been out of the loop. I can crossfire my 7970 and a 280X?
ETA 2: Yep
Yep, that's why I was looking for a 280X. I can get one cheaper than the 7970 and still Xfire.

I ordered that Sapphire linked. It's allegedly the best 280X on the market. I should just order two and put the 7970 in my spare rig and sell this 7870 I have.

passed on castlevania LOS but am buying wolf among us on daily deal. I had a lot of fun with TWD and I watched LPs of TWAU and had to have it.

All the cult coins are tanking right now, and the panic sales aren't helping. I'm just going to keep mining and keep holding LTC. Got nothing to lose but electricity.
If I added a 280x to my rig, PSU calculator puts me right at about 1100w

Wish I could have jumped in and bought at $23.50

I won't be able to try this until tomorrow so this may not be worth it by then?

That is probably my favorite gif of all time.

Currently winning this bid LINK

That thing is going to be bought for wayyyy too much 
Posted on 12/1/13 at 6:50 pm to bluebarracuda
I'm going to go ahead and order a second 280X after mulling it over all day. I can make my money back just on Litecoins off of it unless they keep dropping.

I expect to lose that bid but why not try and get one cheap 
Posted on 12/1/13 at 7:22 pm to Mr Gardoki
It will go for a lot, and the hilarious part is that core speed doesn't matter much for LTC mining, especially with the 7970.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an xfx 280x.
I was trying to wait for a reference version to become available, but I decided im just going to sell it when I'm done and not assimilate it with my watercooled overlord for the long haul.

It just needs some sort of green or nVidia tag.

For mining only.... 6950 vs 7870? 6950 is $120, 7870 $130.
The 6950 seems to have higher hash rates in a couple of comparisons I've looked at, but those might be using the old cards that unlocked into 6970s.
