It is better to sell your hardware and buy Bitcoins.

I would never have bought an old card. Buy better 7950/7970 (the price is now very low)

I found someone selling 3x HD 6950(Unlocked Shaders) for $300= 1400~1600 Kh/sec(total). Trying to get the best bang for buck hash rate power for a budget under $300~$350.

If you want to buy a cheap problems - this is a good choice.

I was originally going to get a HD 5970 (800~900 Kh/sec) for $150, but the guy already sold it.....I guess I'll get the 3x HD 6950's with the unlocked shaders....

I only spent $100 for 2x HD 5870's =800~900 Kh/sec(total). A HD 7950 is $200~$270= 500~600 Kh/sec. I found someone selling 3x HD 6950(Unlocked Shaders) for $300= 1400~1600 Kh/sec(total). Trying to get the best bang for buck hash rate power for a budget under $300~$350.

Hi everyone,
Just curious what would be a cheap rig to build on limited funds. Currently I'm running 2x HD 5870's and a HD 5850, but don't want to spend too much for an upgrade. I was thinking of either a HD 5970, 6950(shaders unlocked), 6970 or 6990. Or is it best just to pony up the cash for a HD 7950 or 7970? Want a low wattage and hardware cost system without making a crazy investment.
