Will be interesting to keep an eye on the new Maxwell high end iterations.

Actually quite impressed with the hash / watt.
That being said....I am not gonna pay +~$150 or more for a card that doesn't even break 300khs.

Flawed article in every way.
This is a low end card, which doesn't put out much khash. A high end card will cost what 780s used to cost and that is 700+. Power requirement for those cards is slightly less than AMD but cost signifanctly more.
Plus by the time Maxwell is out, which is a long way out, AMD will have a new architecture

AMD's drivers really do blow chunks, though. The amount of ballsing about to get them mining.
On a nVidia machine, just run cudaminer and it's hashing. No SDK voodoo, no dodgy driver versions.
Definitely thinking of getting a couple of 750Ti to replace my clapped out old 7770 and 7850 cards.

The wattage is nice but Frys is selling the 750 for $160+tax. I could get a 7870 for that price.
750Ti is a budget and low-power card and it is already at 285 khash. That's because of the new Maxwell architecture used in the card. Imagine the higher end cards NVIDIA will release with Maxwell and where the mining power can go. AMD is back to the drawing board again.
Why would AMD be going back to the drawing board? Are they specifically designing their graphics cards to target miners?
No-one buys AMD GPUs for gaming - really, mining is the only reason anyone would buy an AMD card. nVidia's cards and drivers are better than AMD's, always have been.
Now that the mining niche is gone, there's really no good reason to buy AMD.

Thanks, that's amazing news! 
I would never have seen it if it had been squirreled away in the Alt coin section.
Nvidia stock to the moon!

Just stumbled upon this article. 60 watts - 242kh/s. No power connectors required.

I see now the thread is in the wrong forum. If there is a moderator, I kindly request that you move it to the appropriate board. Thank you!
