The 58xx will still be acceptable for gaming, especially in a CrossFire Config.

58xx series are better for bitcoin but slightly worse for gaming than the 68xx series due to the number of parallel processing engines.

So like the title say I am in a business with the internet cafe. Where I am situated it's realy famous and I have alot of client. I want to grow my business and buy 10 new computers. I want these computer to be able to mine when they are vacant. I am ready to spend 1000$ to 1500$ per computer ( 2000$ max if it's realy improve the computer from a 1500$ computer ).

These computer also need to be able to play the newest game in the world.

So I was wondering what hardware should I buy if I want to do this? Note that many computer don't ship where I am. I am situated in Thailand.

Thanks you very much for your help.
