Continuing greaterninja's thread because he cried and locked it: https://109.201.133.65/index.php?topic=200628
He left a lot of misnomers which should not be continued by the community.

As I recall you were saying the card would use over 500 watts, in reality it uses ~375 watts at max load and it still performs as well as the 1st generation 7990 but uses 2/3 the space of the first generation 7990.  
1) No I didnt, I said it will be power limited. If you're maxing out at STOCK CLOCKS and slightly undervolted, on bitcoins, have fun scypting.
2) Same performance? Nope, my cards are 1300+, yours are 1150.
3) 2/3 the space? Great, now try and use the card.

You also said it would cost $2000 dollars when it costs $1000-$1100.
For two cards *facepalm*

...the only thing you were maybe right about is the cooling and that is still for dispute as you use many more fans than I use to ventilate the card.   So all in all you weren't right about much.  You more so blurted out a bunch of nonsense and acted like a huge forum troll...good try at trying to be right.

Many more fans? I am using TWO of these cards, TWO. So yes, I do have 2 more fans than you because im generating another 400W+ of heat in the same space.

tldr: I warned you, you spent $3.3k on 3 cards and are now trying to sell them because you realized I was right. Enjoy your financial loss because you were so arrogant.


Nope.  You said 1 card costs $2000, and 1 card will use over 500 watts to get the same hash power or it will hash a lot less.  The new malta uses less space and performs more efficiently for the power. The malta still hashes 1150 MH/s - 1250 mh/s easily.  Now you might be right about the temperature, however everything else you were wrong on.   Finally, I am selling each card for a significant profit, certainly not because of financial loss.     Congrats at making such a big deal out of what you really don't know or have.
