Heh, mine have both paid for themselves and then some mining. My advice would be to watch amazon, that's where I picked up my Sapphire for MSRP. The available supply should increase in the next few months though, as ASICs for Scrypt mining will start to be released.

Are you saying you've generated bitcoins and sold them since the 290x has been out??

Scrypt based coins, such as litecoins/feathercoins/dogecoins/etc. They're still profitable to mine with GPU miners as nobody has come out with an ASIC for scrypt mining yet (and FPGA definitions are pretty limited from what I've looked at for Scrypt). SHA256 cryptocurrencies are not worth GPU mining anymore due to advent of FPGA definitions and ASICs for those coins.

cpu on 4.5 and card at 1150/1600

lol ok you win

Stock CPU, OC GPU 187MHz offset.

Turbobooster- Would it have really been that hard to set GPUz to the main tab like everyone else?

Weatherman- You super overclocked the ram but not the core clock much. Overclocking the ram may get you like 50 points in 3dmark, it doesn't do much.

Okedokey- DAAAAAAMN

 

[WeatherMan]

Yeah my core is abysmal, anything higher than 1075MHz and the drivers stop responding, still happens when I apply an additional 100mV and max out the power limit.

 

[87dtna]

huh, that sucks. But, if you leave your ram speed alone, the boost will have more power to give it additional core clock. When you OC your ram you're using more power, the more power limit that's used the less it will boost.

 

[WeatherMan]

I did try that this morning when I first started benching, ran up the core clocks on their own to start with the mem at stock, got no higher than 1175MHz boost clock

 

[87dtna]

The boost clock on GPUz and what you actually get are 2 different things. I know when I had my 670 the boost would say like 1215 in GPUz but I was actually seeing about 1270 core clock in game, unless temps got over 70c then it would back down.

 

[Okedokey]

Weatherman, id be looking at your motherboard settings for extra headroom, pcie voltages, clocks, chipset voltages etc.

[87dtna]

In the future please turn off the power saving features on the CPU so we know what the speed is. Guessing 4.5ghz? Vcore seems pretty high for just 4.5 though, unless you just left it on auto.

Seriously, how hard is it to switch GPUz over to the graphics card tab instead of the sensors tab.....

its not hard, but was also to show the temps, for writing a review.
how hard is it to take a good look and see that the core speed is set on show max.

How hard is it to follow the rules? Taken a second screenshot then. You didn't have CPUz memory tab open either, I'm not entering that one until a proper screenshot is given. I've also removed your 7970 score as well.

 

[turbobooster]

its not hard, so I hope youre happy now.

indeed its not hard to follow the rules.
but how hard is it to update, you make a score with 2x 780i and you updated that 1 as soon as possible, but the top ati list isn't updated

hahha

A. im following the rules...

B. My score isn't updated... and

C. your score sux
