4x Sapphire NITRO R9 380 - 4 GB GDDR5

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.

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.
