4x Sapphire NITRO R9 380 - 4 GB GDDR5

or should i get someting else in the same price range?.. i have free electricity so thats not my problem.

hope you guys can help me because im gonna order it this afternoon.

I just got one of those from Newegg for $199($20 gift card made it $179),it does 22mhs right out of the box (win7 64) @ 80% fan = 58c Grin

Oh & it's pretty quiet compared to my ref 7970 Wink

I am also interested in mining Alt Coins , so can you give me some guide is it profitable to setup a desktop for Mining with this graphic card.

Pool I use has a tutorial:
https://eth.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=gettingstarted

190 watts:
http://www.eteknix.com/sapphire-nitro-r9-380-4gb-graphics-card-review/

http://62.212.74.86/~mining/list/amd/index.php?algo=eth

is that consumption correct, or it is for gaming, that review is not for mining, they consume more for mining

Well,it may be more,but if 50 watts makes or breaks ya,then you might not wanna mine at all Cheesy

just asking to compare it with a 970, which cost more but consume less

The performance of Ethereum mining with 970 will reduce a lot when the DAG file size is larger than 2GB. But Ethereum will convert to PoS early next year.

If you treat the mining as hobby, then it is OK to mine and keep on ordering new graphics cards. The difficulty is rising fast.

i know, im just making use of my free electricity Cheesy

how does the Sapphire Nitro compare with the ASUS Strix? They are both available for slightly less than $300 CAD and are about evenly specced.
Based on looks alone, i would go with the strix. But hashrate and fan noise are also factors

It's funny to see my comparison website still being shared around with the direct IP. "Not that i mind :p".

I've added a domain for it from the first week it went online :p

www.mininghwcomparison.com :p

But i'm happy it's being used

I saved it in my favorites a ways back like that,I've updated my link Grin

Since were on the topic of power and the 380...has anyone tried to under volt this with stock settings? What type of power drawl do you get with a under volt? Dropping some watts off of course means cooling operation and more profit per card. I do this to my 7950's and it made a huge difference

Since you are spending in the range anyways. I recommend you get 2 of the cards below. 2x crossfire will perform much better then 4x, and these cards are beasts. Good luck!

what is the consumption on those 380? just to compare them with my 970, because they are 100 cheaper

The Ref 7970 got the turbo fan, it is very noisy. The 380 is also a 4GB card, so it might be useful in the future.
