I put my 7850 back to the mining rig after I received the riser last week, and it's making BTC0.01 a day 
Can't complain.

i'm not sure i've ever seen my 7850 above 60oC, it's an msi twin frozr 2GB they had on newegg for I believe it was $160 AR, maybe $170.
same deal w/ the games though
it gets about the same hash rate as a 5830 (*but uses a lot less electricity). after you sell the games and do the rebate, if you sold your 5830 used, you'd end up about even... with a card that'll be worth a lot more in the not so distant future when there's some godawful amount of 5830's on ebay

I have 2 XFX 6950s in my mining rig, I don't recommend them. They run hot and one of them wouldn't let me flash the 6970 bios (only card out of 5, other 3 are ASUS, MSI and Sapphire - all 6950s)

2x 7850 (2048 stream processors) = 1x 7970 (2048 stream processors)
same but a hell of a lot cheaper!

Density my friend, density. When you take into account the platform costs [storage space, mobo, psu, cpu ram], costs will be similar.
I disagree sub 850 watt psus are less than $100 while 1000-1200 watts are over $250 that right there covers the mobo psu and ram. Plus the 7850's have better M/hash per $.

unless you setup 7850 mining rigs on a massive scale, a single 7850 literary mine next to nothing/day
Pretty close to it. They're worse than a 5870 for mining... May 06, 2013, 07:01:55 PM
