Is on market other shops with similar prices? I find some offer for Gigabyte AMD HD7990 but is more expensive and stock is limited.
Probably not, these offers usually are store specific.

this price is not bad for 7990
Considering that you can get 1.4 MH/s from it.

GPUs for BTC is pretty much useless.

Example of someone who looked at the thread title, hit the "New Reply" button, and posted his opinion without reading anything the OP said.

XD

Actually I did read his post, and he was talking about his GPU getting 400MH/s. If he's getting 400MH/s using Scrypt, then I want what he's buying!

So there were two reasonable explanations: he mistyped (a common yet infuriating mistake), or he was mining BTC. My warning was aimed at the less likely but more absurd second option.

In the first sentence he says Litecoin mining. In the second sentence, Litecoin mining... The 400 mh/s was way down the paragraph.... But true 400 mh/s for $130 is GREAT.

You missed out on the $130/$160 7950... I did as well.  Some miners bulk bought most of them.

GPUs for BTC is pretty much useless. GPUs for LTC is a bit more realistic.

The new R9 280 or 290 are pretty beefy, but I don't think they compare to the 7950 for price/performance. The 280s are still >$300, and the 7950s are almost as good for a lil cheaper.

If you read what I wrote, I specifically stated they're for litecoin mining.  Wink

Anybody seeing any deals on good cards for litecoin mining? Looking to pick up one or two litecoin mining cards. Nothing too serious. I picked up a GPU that does about 400mhash for about $130 this spring. Looking for as good or better in terms of mining power to cost.
