Thank you Smiley

+1 Rep for AndrewBUD - Four cards sold, paid for, and shipped to him


I still have 17 lightly used and 3 unopened 5830's for sale, and am still asking $90 ea OBO, so post or PM me an offer.

No, I'm just cheap on $ per mh.

these still easily sell for $100 on eBay, just look at the completed listings (and remember that the price shown doesn't include S&H unless it's stated as being free)

after taking away eBay and paypal fees, you'd still be looking at around $90.  $90 is a good price for a single unit, i think it'd be pretty nutty to go below $75 per even in bulk


the four most recent:

july 7th - $105

july 7th - $115
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabyte-Technology-ATI-Radeon-HD-5830-GV-R583UD-1GD-/221061687838?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item33784daa1e#ht_500wt_1182

july 7th - $97
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-5830-Xtreme-/221062899183?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item33786025ef#ht_500wt_1182

july 6th - $109

the first 3 are used, the 4th is a refurb

I certainly want to grab a couple of these.  Waiting for Dwolla.  I would love to get a couple in the 75-80 range.

Thanks.

$50 each + $5 shipping each, throw away (or recycle) the boxes to make shipping cheaper.

Wow, I haven't seen any go that low yet, and I'm not really interested in being the first.

How about $85 shipped?  What's your zip code?

How about $68.33 Each +$100 shipping and you test the three new in box cards or refund if DOA?  That's $1,739.92 total

Yeah I'm more interested in their electrical efficiency, MH/W.

I can see the dollar value and also realize they are nice mid level gaming cards, so my thought was I might mine them until the ASIC pyramid scheme hits and then build and sell some budget gaming PC's.

Thanks.

the only GPU thing better MH/W is 5770. These are best in that regards. Lots of old threads where we crunched a shit ton of numbers on them.

Sorry, but 5830's are far from the most efficient in terms of MH/W

I think the most efficient card for MH/$ -AND- MH/W is the 6870.

Per card, my 6870s are 2.55 MH/watt
For one of my rigs with 4x 6870 is over 2.2 MH/watt

My 5770 is a nice entry level card, and it is more efficient than a 5830, but it is nowhere near as efficient as my 6870.


You've never mined on a 5830 @0.95V, have you? It's a beautiful thing. Also, 2.2MHs/watt isn't anything to write home about, at this point.

Lastly, don't forget about the 77xx cards. Both the 7750 and the 7770 are around 3MHs/W, and can be bought around the $100 range.

I have, but it certainly wasn't more than 2.55 MH/watt per card.  And not all would run undervolted stable at decent speeds.  So how many rigs with 4 5830s do you have running undervolted to .95?  What's the MH/w of each of those rigs?  It doesn't work for me to look at what one special gpu can do, I needed 40+ gpus for my farm.

Why would the 77xx cards even enter into this conversation?    I'm talking about cards that have been available for almost 2 years.  Also, the 7750/7770, in terms of density, are no good for a multi-gpu rig(like the 5770).  I'm not trying to prove which card is the best for mining.I'm just correcting your incorrect statement that 5830 and 5770 are best for MH/w.  

For large scale miners the 5830 has always been a power hog.  They only perceived advantage was MH/$, but the 6870s could be had for $145 shipped when people were paying $130 for 5830s.

I'll revive this, at some point 5xxx cards will go this low.  This may be the month.  $60 each shipped $1,440 for the lot.

Especially at only 900MHz, those sapphire 5830s can go below 1.163V, which give you much lower temps, lower power draw, and higher MH/w.

Yeah, I only ran them for about a month last summer and was more focused on finding 5850's at the time, so I never spent the time to  optimize beyond the gpu and memclocks.
