Unacceptable you are awesome. Thanks for the links. I will be using these to help make my decision.
Look at all the algorithms to mine,some cards are better at some than others.
No matter what cards you go with,buy new,the resale value & warranty are worth it (& you may get a game code you can sell or a gift card with your purchase).
Ebay used cards aren't always as good a deal as it looks
The only lists I could find :

Sorry about the double post. The site was down for a few minutes and i guess it posted the first time. Anyway thanks for the details and it seems as if you are telling me everything i have already read. I wish it was an easy choice but like i said after hours and hours i still am having trouble deciding on a card. I want longevity as well. IDK but ill keep going through posts.
Not sure why you made 2 duplicate posts, but I'll try to help you anyways 
When buying graphics cards you have two main chooses: AMD and nVidia, I think AMD is the most popular option for mining. The most popular mining cards AMD has are the R-series(290, 390...). Now once you chosen a card you have to chose a manufacturer: Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire... This choice doesnt really matter a whole lot but since you'll be mining you'll want something with proper cooling. With the card chosen you can go online and search for hashrate for your card and get an idea of when you'll ROI and if it's even worth all the effort.

Hello all, I have been reading and searching for more than two weeks. Its really hard to figure out whats the best direction to go. I thought at first to go and mine bitcoin with S7's but after really figuring power and setup cost im not sure i would ever ROI. I have about 6k to spend on a mining setup and would really like a 6 month or less ROI (if its still possible). I have read and read till my head hurts. I was thinking of getting 3 of the ibelink ASICs but they are now out of stock and who knows when they will be back. After much research and doing some figuring with cost Im thninking maybe I should just get 2 or 3 GPU rigs up and running. There are so many GPUs to choose from. IDK what is the difference between the gigabyte, msi, and sapphire. They all make the same R series cards. I was thinking maybe going with the Nano even though it is a bit more expensive it should be able to mine for sometime. Would love listen to anyone that is willing to help. My power is about .10 after taxes for residential rates. I would like to get started sooner than later. Jump to:
