Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred GPU Miner v4.5 (Windows/Linux)
I'm surprised that no one is taking pre-orders for them yet.
Same here. I'm kind of in a "Catch 22" situation. I was about to purchase 100 x MSI 390 GPU's until I heard last night about the AMD RX 480 with 14nm chips coming out June 29th.
Especially, since no one is taking pre-orders on them, I'm wondering if there will be limited quantities that will limit retailers to 5 GPU's per customer at first?
meh I think 390's are a good deal when its a good sale price, even with the 480 coming out. Depends on your electric setup. I'm waiting for 480 too, but if I can get some cheap 390s...I'll get those too
although im not buying 100 god damn lol, so far my XFX 390s are running over 33mhs, good temps, and seems perfectly fine.100 x Nanos would be a better bet, IMHO.
Lower power consumption delivering as good MHs @30MHs per GPU.
Also resale value is better than 390.
390 is power hungry and produces lots of heat - require 2 VGA cables, Nanos require only 1
390 is a bulky, long, heavy card.
Nanos smaller and lighter and easier to manage in an open cage.
Savings: Lower electricity bill and 1000w / 1300w PSUs instead of more expensive 1600w or 2 x PSUs.
My current rigs,
Phase 1: n x 5 x MSI-R9-390, 150MHs, AF settings: -100mV/1050/1125, temps =75c, 1300watts (6xGPU will require 1600 PSU)
Phase 2: n x 6 x Sapphire Nanos, 178MHs, Heliox Rom Mod -150mV,1040/300, temps 74c, 1300watts
Phase 3: Work in progress: Nanos for now attempting -175mV and -200mV Rom mods. If 480s passes the ETH mining test on CDM, that will be the card to go for : latest GPU & lower power consumption
