According to this the 7850 might be a good cheap mining card and a better value than a 7870

They are both the exact same. ASUS 970 AM3+ mATX

You know, I could make more money selling my spare 7950 right now on eBay than actually mining with it. Cards are going crazy high right now.

How much do clocks affect mining?

FYI, if I game on my main rig, mining on spare and have the homeserver on my breaker trips. I just spent $60 bucks getting it changed from a 15W to 20W. Guess I should have installed a 30W.

It isn't those cheap $5 breakers. All interior rooms have these GFI breakers which IMO, are overpriced big time. Stout probably knows what i'm talking about.

Mem clocks are more important than core. My 7970, stock, stuck under both my 780s, gets around 0.34080058 LTC/day ($10.25)

Good to know, thanks for this.

BTW, I noticed you purchased a Nexus 5 also. Mine should be in next week. I'm just scared of the camera, even though I rarely take phone photos since I own a Canon 6D.

The damn Nexus 7(2013) blew me away. Was also my very first Android experience if you remember, I want the latest stock Android for the rest of my life. lol

EDT: Looking forward to using the SnapDragon 800 compared to the 600 in the 2013 Nexus 7.

You should be then, its crap

I need another rig asap! I just traded two 7979s for one if my 780s (I have 3 780s left now lol, and will now have 3 7970s).

If anyone is looking for a 780 let me know! It'll be brand new in box (unopened) for $440 shipped. I just want to turn my amazon credit into PayPal

The scaling is terrible, should have spent the cash for 2xTIs.

I bought 2, then had a good bit of amazon credit left over, so I bought 2 more only expecting to use 1 (sell the other). Now that this litecoining junk is OOC, I'm trading one for 2 and selling the other and my board for x79 and an and platform

I want to say Blue just because once LTCs calm down the 780 will hold value over 2 outdated 7970s? IDK, the value is with the buyer and what he intends to do with the card.

What is the longest period of time that you have used 1 card or 1 set of cards?

I know most people here don't care but i think nvidia's new optimal setting adjustments is big for making pc gaming more mainstream LINK

Is this your first GPU?

I remember my first dedicated graphics card.
