For 50 dollars less you can pick up at 5770 and those easily get 200mhs. It seems 2mhs/1$ is a sweetspot.
I wouldn't call 2 megahash per dollar the sweetspot. The 5830 @ 130 gives you 2.4 if not 2.5 and the sapphire 5850 has been said to be able to do 400 easily with no over volt that's 2.76 megahash per dollar. The super good deal on the 5870 a week or two ago ($189) can easily give you 2.3. The 5770 can be a good deal but not at 100 if you can get one at 70 or 80 maybe. That's 2.86 but keep in mind all the parts in your server dilute the megahash per dollar value. The only way I think a 5770 build could work is if you could manage to squeeze 8 of them on a mobo but I havent done enough research on that to be positive.

Personally I wouldn't, but with the 5k series getting harder to find I figured I'd pass on the deal info if someone was strategically positioned to pull the trigger on one.6870 is $154 after rebate. Not quite a 5830 yet but it's pretty nice.

Good point.
But you could get an 6870 XFX, Sapphire, Powercolor, Biostar and get all 4 cards for $154-$159 after rebate. It's 4 rebates which is a pain in the ass but that's probably the best value in the 6xxx series.

There's also a [H] deal on the XFX version that includes a mail in rebate with it. After using the code HARDOCPX727B it comes to $129.99 with free shipping.

I could get a 6870 with an aftermarket cooler and voltage control for $180. Is that a better deal than this 6850 for $150, or the 5850 for $175?
I assume the 6870 you are speaking of is the ASUS directCU, if you are using linux, don't do it, you cannot overvolt, because you cannot bios flash :/ Dam non-reference cards.
its a saphire reference card.
And Im using Windows.
For the love of god, it's waste!

rofl my bad I always spell it wrong apparently and the spell check on firefox only offers "waist". It doesn't give me both options so I just quickly choose that one. From now on ill watch out for it because I feel like I've done it multiple times.

Be sure to read the mail in rebate small print...limit 1 per household, and it requires a packing slip or invoice(basically something with your address). So basically after the first card for 150 the others will be 165.

A 6870 is just a super expensive 5830 and the 6850 is just a complete waist of money.
