Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v10.0 (Windows/Linux)
I'm looking to pickup an RX 480 card and there is about a $100 difference between models, can anyone tell me if this card:

will work, of if there is a better bang for the buck? The XFX Radeon is almost $40 more here. I noticed some threads discussing reference boards, but I don't understand the meaning.
Sorry if my english is not great. thanks in advance.
A reference card is made by the the chip manufacturer (AMD or Nvidia), and has the 'standard' PCB/cooler for a given GPU. Their partners (SAPPHIRE,MSI,EVGA,etc.) can make cards based on that reference model or make their own custom PCBs and/or coolers to go with a given GPU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150774&Tpk=N82E16814150774

Reference cards tend to have blower-style coolers, while partner coolers are often open air-style, for whatever reason.Non-reference graphics cards have better cooling and better performance.Do not worry about the English. Not all users of the English-speaking world. Only they can perfectly know speak english. Sometimes neither they, because only God is perfect
