How do ATI/AMD cards do for F@H anyways?  I thought they were pretty bad at it IIRC.  Just like Nvidia at mining.

im keeping it for folding@home
currently, GPU's shine only in MilkyWay, especially [yes, again]. AMD.
maybe next F@H, BOINC improve OpenCL saturation/utilization, probably after discovering software engineering and appr CASE tools for himself.

Quit mining because it's not profitable enough but use the equipment for folding@home, wtf. And how is that less unprofitable, burning the electricity for bitcoins that are more worth than the elecrtricity (even with the dificulty jump) or burning the electricity for absolutly nothing.  Huh

But I'm not going to stop you guys, how more people stop mining the better it is for me, lol

@op: A pretty lame way to screw every honest person who wants to return something. If lots of people do this for this kind of reasons they will verry quickly change there returning policy.

Improfitable at this difficulty? Unpossible! It's enimaginable to think of a day when I stop mining. Please, let's not be inrealistic here.

I plan on selling the gpu's to my local cyber cafe. I struck a deal with the owner for a garenteed sale at any point in the next year, so my cost is covered. Also I work in a pc repair shop, so I didnt pay for anything buy the GPU's

I think you are nothing but a scum and a thief that drive up retail price for the rest of the people that are honest. It's people like you that drive up the prices for rest of us because of selfish and pitiful acts such as this and it clearly shows the level of your character and commitment in anything that you do. You must exist and live in the absolute bottom of the society if you think and act this way. I have no doubt.

The community needs more people like you.

This is comedy...number 1
Ill buy whatever you want to get rid of...number 2
and those companies literally look at us as the enemy and their ceo's basically use tactics from the prince and the art of war...
If they offer the return and he wants to do it...it is absolutely reasonable.
All they ever do is get over on us, how many of you have made profit or anything off of dealing with a retailer directly?Huh It is a one way street.
Its not even wrong in anyway,
"I have a project
I buy equipment
Project gets canceled
So i return equipment"
Not very bad to me.

UMADBRO?

Thanks for the mining efficiency tip OP. You can either resell the GPU when you're done and voided the warranty (flash + OC), or return it to the vendor for various reasons (you can't really abuse this you know?)...

Didn't spend too much on my gear, I can afford to part with the money regardless. That is funny though. Next up, special on refurbished 58XX's on newegg, 49.99 and up.

WOW - just WOW, start thinking guys.

If mining becomes improfitable, then noone would mine anymore - difficulty would go back to where it came from - BAZINGA, mining is profitable again.

But yeah, sell your hardware.

Hush, let them sell their hardware, I don't mind Wink

I'm counting on playing some video games.  I haven't played any games since getting my Q6600 and 8800gts since they have been so crappy

I can always count on Newegg with their 30-day return policy! I'll be able to return everything except the CPU.

What are you guys thinking about this? Smiley
