thanks for super fast reply...

i found this http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HD5850-PCIE-1024-PB

but thats suspect 134$ the card looks geenric.

I have these same generic cards which I purchased a few weeks ago. They perform well, (pulling 340 each), and came with a 90 day warranty. I'm actually looking for some more everyday, as they sell out pretty quick.

also, i am thinking bout buying a new gfx card

i need to get a psu and card

i was thinking bout 6870 or 6850

**also** anyone know a TRUSTED place that accepts bitcoins for computer hardware or that will exchange my bitcoins for places like newegg or tigerdirect

I've been using an XFX 6870 since August. It's worked great... the only issue I've had is the fan is a rather loud during mining as I increase the fan speed to 75% or so to keep the temperature around 70 C.

no i actually been busy lately..lol

i never got a response from bitspend or bitegg

but i did get a response form get-bit but im hesitant to do it

btcinstant worked perfectly but its only 50$ max cards and newegg doesnt take more than one card

so im prolly gonna go through get-bitcoin.com they responded but im just kinda skeptical

thanks for all your replies , even though i messed up and started a new topic instead of using the introduce yourself

So we Warmly Welcome you back here :-)

The exact difference in mining speed between a stock 5850 and a stock 6870 is 3,5%.

I know it's old. Still, the 5850 is hard to beat as far as mining is concerned. Games will likely prefer a more recent card though.
Not worth going with that specific card 5850 you linked to IMO, it's bound to be loud as heck under full load.

If I were to choose, I'd go with this.
Three massive fans will keep this card cool and quiet even with some crazy overclocking. The superior cooling system does come at a premium though.

24/7 mining generates a lot of heat, more than typical gaming will generate.

another question is..
will thr 5850 play newer games and bluerays just as good as the 6870?

i know the 5850 is kinda old now

Do yourself the favor and grab a 6870. It's just more efficient at mining.
If you're going to start mining, at least let's make it a commendable start.

In fact, an old 5850 would be a bit faster than a 6870 but it's increasingly hard to get those in good shape and with manufacturer's warranty.

i was thinking bout 6870 or 6850

but im not sure

my budget is 250 with shipping

it will not be a dedicated mining rig, i will be using it for gaming, bluray and mining

any feedback (and places to get good quality gear .cheap) will help thanks

**also** anyone know a TRUSTED place that accepts bitcoins for computer hardware or that will exchange my bitcoins for places like newegg or tigerdirect
