Hey what you think about getting 270x and OC it
Friend @ 2:04
idk enough about it
Alvin @ 2:05
Stock gets about 400-450 hashes
Friend @ 2:05

Alvin @ 2:05
Over clock will get you about 500-550 which is same as 7950
Friend @ 2:05
max will pull 475 kh/s
Alvin @ 2:06
where did you see that?
2:06
I was guesstimating
Friend @ 2:06
haha okay
Alvin @ 2:06
no need to guess so hard like that
2:06
That is max at stock though
Friend @ 2:06
If you OC then you’ll get more
2:07
these numbers are overclocked for sure
Alvin @ 2:07
well
2:07
i mean the last one
2:07
you can see that the memory clock is at 1500
2:07
uses 230 watts
2:07
R9 270X, 100364L
2:08
ctrl+f “R9 270X, 100364L”
2:08
So you don’t think its a good idea? Cause this 280x shit getting stupid can’t find any
Friend @ 2:10
For 330
2:10
280x is reported to use 300 watts max
Alvin @ 2:11
30.4% higher power usage
2:11
gets 54.4% higher hash rates
2:12
I know that… But you can’t buy one those stats are pointless
Friend @ 2:12
Haha
2:14
right, what you brought up is another part of the analytic answer
Alvin @ 2:14
it depends on the amount of time that you’re willing to wait and what you know about card production speed to the market (nothing)
2:16
AND the amount of time that you plan on mining (I’m assuming that number is indefininte)
2:17
long run, wait for the 280x it’ll pay off in huge amounts
2:18
if you feel like 280x will never show up on the market again, don’t wait and get the 270x
2:18
I don’t know what the buy orders on 280x chipsets are
2:18
So your saying its justifiable to pay 430 for at 280?
Friend @ 2:19
I don’t think so
Alvin @ 2:19
I think it’s just a craze right now and you should wait for prices to come back down on those things in a couple week
2:19
weeks*
2:19
for now, if you want to get into the game immediately, buy coins. it’s possible that your money may be better spent there at the rate of difficulty increase + difficulty to find proper hardware
2:20
especially because btc and LTC are down right now
2:20
long term running inferior hardware is not a good idea because it’s already hard enough to pay off good hardware.
2:22
buying good hardware at +33% costs is just going to make it that much harder to pay them off.
2:23
all these undefined variables are starting to throw you off huh?
2:26
They are all contradicting at one point lol
Friend @ 2:27
So now its a waiting game
2:27
yeah~ I think we should all just play the waiting game
Alvin @ 2:28
I’m not going to do anything drastic for a couple weeks
2:28
no more miners
2:28
no more buying coins
2:28
just enjoy the roller coaster
2:29
And let your rigs mine right?
Friend @ 2:29
yup
Alvin @ 2:29
i think we all got in at a good time
2:30
don’t let yourself get raped with the rest of the noobs panic buying $400 cards
