Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

Shhh I neeeed it :p
I'm waiting for the new 8 core 16 thread i7's to come out. CPU, mb, ddr4 memory. Roughly $1700 or so

My current Xeon is going as a spare so the website will go on that. Plus its an excuse to get a second PC set up. I also need to sort out my new displays to code properly. Coding on less then 3 screens sucks. And I only have 1 right now

So yes, it will be my new toy haha. I have a list of water cooling fittings that are going to cost $500 or more just to fit everything again lmao

Oh, I see. Been there, done that. Grin

Made out alive, though wasted a lot of money in the process. It's just consumer-grade hardware does surprisingly well these days, a simple AMD FX-8350 gives all the power that vast majority of hobbyists need, supports up to 32GB of ECC RAM, and there's enough 990FX boards out there that work great as hypervisors with Xen/Vmware.. There's also a lot of previous gen Xeons on ebay, 6 core / 12 threads 1366 cpus go for like less than $150 and are still very capable. One can build a very powerful server for under $1k and in real-life applications most would never even notice the difference in performance compared to the latest/greatest top xeon.

Well, if you want that latest stuff and can afford it then sure. For me it's just never worth it, I do like to geek out and play with new toys, but most fun is gone in like a week after the purchase and then I start to feel like shit, realizing that I could get all the performance I needed for a fraction of the price paid.

AMD is to me simply too power hungry, i had a top of the line FX not long back and sent it back due to power usage.
I need to buy a second machine anyway as my partner keeps stealing mine Angry

, and even if i get last gen (same as i have now) 6 core xeons, with a proper mb, cpu, new memory etc. i am still looking at a good chunk of money.

Both machines are going to be high end gaming machines so the $4k was budgeting in 4 displays, another full system, plus a EVGA 780Ti Hydro Copper to go with my 780 hydro copper, please another 750Ti, plus watercooling fittings.

This is the expense list (in the UK so inflated prices)

Displays: 4 x VN279QLB = 2.86BTC
EVGA 780Ti Classified Hydro Copper = 2BTC
Watercooling Fittings = 0.43BTC
CPU: 1.714BTC
MB: 0.86BTC
Memory (16GB): 0.46BTC
Case: 0.37BTC
PSU: 0.26BTC
SSD: 0.514BTC

Total: 9.468BTC xD or 0.05BTC each if 190 people donate? Wink

how many 780ti ? (actually I would go for the 880... ).
Actually, I have made so far 9.34btc (I can almost get it already)

880 might not have a good price to hash ratio or perhaps watt to hash ratio

But , are u going to get one when its out to try it ?

1 880(not titan) run at 3 x 750t speed, unless it consume more than 180w and cost something like more than $600, it will be a great gpu for sure, and you need less rigs which is also a good advantage over 750ti
