man i lucked out buying 4 visiontek 5700s off Dell last year for 239 a piece.

Whats up with Visiontek GPUs, I saw Phil mention them and then you.  Do they have added stability or value or something?  Just wondering if their brand cards are the ones to look out for.

Price on the 5500xt is 191 and less with discounts.

They are short cards.

So if you have an eight slot board

1) big gpu ----------
2) empty
3) big gpu ----------
4) empty
5) big gpu ----------
6) empty
7) big gpu ---------
8)small visiontek --

four of these

use an ant miner apw3++ psu

easy peasy build

I will have 4 x 40 = 160 + 28 = 188mhs cards = 1250usd
mobo = 100

1350 cost

I own the psu and ram and usb stick and cooler

So I can go with this build or

use this card

which is short it allows for the 5th card on the board.

this is a 200mhs build for 1450


Regarding the power supply, is it safe to convert 6 pin to 8 pin with power adapter cables for the GPUs
