Topic: 3x7950 or 2x7970? (Read 986 times)
I believe the only time that it matters is if you're doing crossfire, but even then I think certain ranges of cards can be mixed, like a 5850 and 5870 for example. For mining it doesn't matter if you mix.
jap should work.
i got 1x 6950 und 1x 6850 on the same board and they are mining quite well

Can cards be mixed?
I have a 7850 which I am going to use for LTC mining. My board can take another card.
Can I put in a 7950 alongside it or do both cards *have* to be the same?
I can get a 2nd 7850 fairly easily.
Thanks.

First 7950 on the way, glad I waited until I did since the price dropped $30.
Thanks again everyone!
Thanks again everyone!
@Caesar V: With all 3 + my 5870 I already have, currently it would be ~$60/day or 12.6 coins/day. If it pays for itself in 16 days ill be more than happy. 
Even with just 1 which I am planning to start with at first will pay for itself in ~13 days.
@juve4v: Thanks for the info.

7950s all the way ...for me at least .I can say these cards seem to perform very good especially in scrypt . On the other hand I seen many people complaining about the new 7970s locked or underperforming.
Is the investment worth it? What are your earning predictions?
@Invest0r: Thanks for the input.
@Starlightbreaker: What were they selling for? I always seem to miss good opportunities.
@rgzen: Haven't seen any for sale yet, and I'm sure the price would be insane.

What about get a 7990?
I'd go for the 7950's.
I'm looking at adding more video cards to my rig, but I am going to be adding them one by one instead of all at once.
Based on price and hashrate for scrypt, I'm thinking the better way to go is 3x7950s (~$960) since I've seen others able to get about 700khash/s with overclocking. What do you think?
