Hi.

Quick question.

Is the R9 280 more or less the same as 7970 ?

I get 7970 for about 2.000 Danish Kroner and R9 280 is about 2.400, so not much more. But I can only with with 600 Khash with the 7970

From my research they're very similar. Both great cards IMO and you can't go wrong with either - however this is all a numbers game so I would go for reasonable quality and cheapest pricing for the desired KH/s rate. I personally chose my R9 290's based on the incredible deal I got on them (about $400 USD flat for each of them)

Welcome to the forum. I am getting my two r9 280 sometime this month. Can't tell you how exited I am.

Hey everybody, hope all is well. I've been visiting BTC Talk forums for awhile now, but never bothered creating an account until now. I'm a large advocate for the long-term growth and sustainability of both BTC and LTC, and I also fool around with some alt coins here and there. I made $4k during the "Quark Rush" as I like to call it (it's rise from .0025USD to .035USD) and I used that money to pay off debt, reinvest into cryptos, and invest into a LTC mining rig with 2x Sapphire R9 290's, 8GB RAM, running cgminer 3.6.0 around 1,550kh/s and getting stable results and cool temps Cool

I look forward to getting to know some of you and providing help as I can! Thanks - BigRidg
