i think its time to step up to a 980ti and have a look at how this thing works .. is it better? ...  and im not asking about the hashrate Tongue ...

I am happy with my card but it has 2 8 pin pci power connectors and can draw as much as 250-300W. Quark is hashing at 26,7 and x11 13 Mhash.

thats nice ... but the draw seems to be huge ...

i have been looking at the gigabyte g1 gaming card ... its a beast ...

factory oc with BETTER cooling - though the twin 8pin connector will be an issue with the psu selection ... maybe need to redesign the frame specifically for this card - as it will take two large 1500W psu ...

big issue with this is that to buy 6 of these cards in one hit is a wallet suicide - when each card sells here at almost $1200.00AUD ...

BUT - the one machine would generate more hashrate than 3 / 4 of thefarms hashrate ...

ill have to decide what needs to be done soon ... i dont want to buy one card at a time - so that doesnt leave me with many options ...

see what happens - the power draw is the main conern here ...

I went with the reference design, as that gives the best power draw. Even the reference ACX's have 1 6-pin and 1 8-pin pci-e connector.

One thing I've learnt is the extra juice doesn't really help at all.

I'm doing 30 mh/s on one of my ti's and 29 mh/s on the other (Quark). 1481 Mhz and 1477 Mhz respectively.
