Topic: HD5970s Back on Newegg (Read 912 times)
oh nice! i didnt click on ur link i was using the mining hardware comparison for pricing. 500$ is very nice! i like!!!!!
^^^The 5970's are more energy efficient as well as faster when it comes to mining than the 6990.The 6990's are also ridiculously expensive vs. the current price of the 5970.
srry noob ? here but y 5970 over 6990?
I just bought 2 of them.
I usually heat my home addition with a 2000W space heater. This year, I plan on using both of these bad boys to heat the space instead. In essence, it's free electricy since I would have had to pay to run the space heater. In the end, the money I make from BitCoin mining in 5 months will pay for these cards, so even if they are worthless after that, I'm still good and can use them to game. I think it's a good idea and I hope you do too.

Solid card. I'm surprised its still in stock.
Thanks for the info..I was thinking that the card should overclock easily (without a voltage bump) especially if it is a mild OC for example 800 MHz.
Actually it's about right. Although it's 2 5870s on one card, it was downclocked to 725MHz to meet the PCI Express Power spec. It is fully unlockable, and can easily achieve 850MHz with a voltage bump to bring it in line with 2 5870s (but only using 1 PCI express slot). My limited experience with BitCoin mining is that you can overclock the card more than you would for gaming. My 5850s are rock solid at 950-1025 MHz for BitCoin mining, but they were never stable at these speeds for gaming.
The numbers for the HD5970s seem off herehttps://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison. Are there any more recent benchmarks for the 5970?
They were in on Friday, then OOS again. Just back in this morning. Anyway, just wanted people to know.
they've been in stock for awhile. Not many seem too interested.. Will probably be OOS soon though.
Newegg has some more HD5970s in stock if anyone is interested:

I can't post this in the other forums since I'm still a Newb, but I though some of you fellow Newb's would be interested
