Thanks to Mike029 for starting this thread on the other boards - I'm now starting one here:

5870 for $299 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102883)
5970 for $549 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102887)

That 5970 is down to $519.00 after rebate. Sweeeet.

Nov. 12th. I'm hoping that the 5970 is in stock before the code expires.

Yeah...if they would have had the 5970 at that price, I would have bought it instead of the 2 cards I got!
That is a crazy good deal. (Or was when it was in stock. ;))

Wow...I'm so tempted to return the 5870 & 5850 and get that...probably wouldn't be right, though. ;)

Thanks, Mike!
Unfortunately that promo code is only for "ABS" cases / PSUs, which I just found out by trying it on the HAF 932 case. ;)

The GSKILL 4GB DDR3 code is nice, though - that's really awesome RAM, and the 10% off on mobos works.

EDIT: I used those promo codes and netted me a little savings on the RAM and MOBO. Now I just have to order the case and CPU.

04-24-11, 11:50 PM

Here's a good one for any regular eBayers. Check your eBay messages for one titled "Earn 10% plus a bonus $5 in eBay Bucks". The deal is you have to download Internet Explorer 9 from the link in the message, set it up as directed and then use IE9 while making eBay purchases. When you do you will receive an extra 8% in eBay Bucks on top of the regular 2% offered by eBay. This promotion is for a limited time but it is worth it. After the promo is over you can DELETE IE9 and be done with it.

Note: If you already have IE9 then I suggest you uninstall it. Reboot and then DL from IE9 from the link.

That is quite a deal. I have used XFX re-certified cards and have had very good luck with them. 9600GSO, GTX 9800, and GTX 260 are all re-certs. Might be worth looking into. Might just be able to snag one.

Ok, this may not be a really huge deal but if you are willing to gamble, you may get upwards of half a million credits (perhaps more) a day if you luck out with a "good" card that you can OC.

Dang it all to heck mate. Where was that when I bought my last GTX 460? I looked all over their site for a cheap one of these...no dice. :p
Someone will get a nice RAC from this card! Too bad not me! :((:">

05-20-11, 11:00 PM

As I stated before with my GTX 465, it is a gamble! You may get a card that does not work. You may get a card that has no OCing potential (probably only 400K a day which still is not bad) but if you get a solid card, you could probably get 500k+ a day.

True... although, what ms refresh rate does it have, and what resolution for such a giant screen? I mean, that is definitely one way to do it, and I'm not dissing on it-- but it can't be the solution for everyone. Imagine a 47" TV on your desk and telling your boss, "Honest, man, I need it for work!" :)) :D

Hahaha....... Just think of all the love that GPU will give you.......... :D

If it would give me half as good of love as my wife I would buy it right this second! :)) ;) Man, what a deal, you guys don't understand how tempting this is; the 5970 has been my dream cruncher since it came out. It is literally the most efficient GFLOPS / Watt cruncher in the world. And I so value efficiency. . . :D

How about if I bought one of those low end Cuda cards from you? Was it the 460? That may help you be able to get your dream card.

Ah. Thanks. Let me sleep on the possibilities. . . I was not prepared to shell out more this month, but sometimes it just works that way. I doubt I will see a new one of these anywhere else. It is still more efficient than anything in the 6xxx series, or anything NVIDIA has to offer. I was considering waiting for the 7xxx series, but a new dual GPU card in that series will cost more than double this deal. Hmmm... :o

11-25-11, 05:04 AM

Ah dang it all to heck, mate. It's 2 AM and you've got me up reading everything I can get my hands on. This is a major hard decision because 5970 new for $299 is a steal. But, the new 7000 series coming out very soon is supposed to have like 21+GFLOPS /Watt! :D
What to do...what to do... ;)

I would not buy this Card being it's a 59xx Card, I don't remember what but something about the 59xx Cards that made them unsuitable for BOINC, the 58xx & 69xx Cards are faster with a slight edge to the 69xx Cards ... If you go look at the MOO & Collatz Top Computers List you don't see any 59xx Cards, there may be some but their way back in the list if there is any ...

11-25-11, 11:18 AM

I know Bryan has a few of these and while not as effcient at Moo as 2 5870's it is taking up only one slot and will out crunch any single gpu card on Moo at this time. I think at this price it is something to consider. The newer cards will be much more, double or better when they come out.

Now for a sweet deal.

@ Steve - yeah, I understand what you're saying, and Bryan cautioned me not to buy a used one. But GFLOPS /Watt and GFLOPS /$$$, this is the best deal I've seen. You can easily O/C it to the speed of the 5870, because it's the same parts inside - just 2 sandwiched together. The issue is, they run hot, so from what I understand, you have to have really good airlow to run these things O/C and crunching 24/7. That's why I decided on that 10 slot Rosewill Thor V2 case; it had the lowest GPU temps in that Tom's test, due to the airflow.

But as you say, it is a slight risk over one of the newer ones, but surely they will be crazy expensive when they come out, at least initially! :p

STE\/E

11-25-11, 05:39 PM

I hear you, been mulling over it all day whether to get a few myself or not, very tempting but with the Newer Models on the Horizon I just don't know. At the worst I'm thinking I could sell them for what I paid for them if not for more in 6-8 month's for the price their selling for. I'd have some GTX 460, 470 & a 480 for sale if I bought some if anybody was interested in them, if not I'll just put them up on Amazon where I have a sellers Account already ...

EDIT: I broke down & ordered 4 of them before they ran out, needed a few more ATI Box's anyway so the deal was to good to ignore ... :D

Oh - my. . . Wow! I had to reread that a couple times to make sure I was reading the right thing. :D Four HD 5970s? That is awesomely amazing! And here I am agonizing over a single board. :p

@Mike029 - very class act. You still had a PI-e slot empty? Congrats on the new horse in the stable, what an awesome upgrade.

Well, you guys getting some has really encouraged me. I like what SteVe mentioned, probably my able to resell these later on for nearly same money, if for some reason they don't work out.
So you guys have convinced me. One HD 5970 on the way to our office! :D

STE\/E

11-26-11, 04:06 AM

lol ... After thinking about it for awhile it was really a no Brainer for me, I only have 2 ATI Cards right now, a mismatched pair 5850 & 5870, works but not the most efficient set up to run MOO with but that's all I was left with after selling off all the other ATI Cards I had late last year to buy NVIDIA Cards. By getting 4 of the 5970's I'll have a little stronger ATI Force & can sell the 5850 & 5870, if they don't sell it's no big deal as they'll be there for back up or to run in another Box if I want to.

I'll also be able to pull some of the lower end NVIDIA Cards I have & try to sell them too & like I said earlier I'm pretty sure I'll be able to sell the 5970's if I want to in 6-8 Month's for either what I paid for them or even slightly more. So I'll get to use them until the Newer Models (7000 Series) come out & make a decision what to do then based on the Price & Performance of the New Models ... :cool:

Speaking of icons, can we use the seti.usa eagle icon for our project's. For instance, on the challenge's chat page, I come up with the bonic generic icon.

Good questions - let's see what F$ and I can come up with, and maybe BOK could help put them in the right place if it's something we can't figure out.:-bd

I think it might be doable. Maybe create an Eagle head with a Gold ring around it? I can work on some ideas over the weekend.

@EmSti: Yes you can. But you would have to use your browser to save any graphic you see here on the forum. Then save it on your project account(s) or use a web host service like imageshack.us (Its free and much better then photobucket).

@Everyone: One of these weekends when I can coordinate with BOK, I want to setup a page or two on the forum for old and new team graphics/banners. Like the ones I use when posting challenge stats. It should be on the admin ToDo list. I'll add it if its not there.

If anyone is looking or in the market for a new case:
Great deal on a sweet Thermaltake Chaser MK-I (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133191&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL050812&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL050812-_-EMC-050812-Index-_-ComputerCases-_-11133191-L012B) Full Tower case, the same one I just got for Cheetah. Newegg now has it on 48 hour sale for $99 after MIR with Promo Code: EMCNENB52

You won't be disappointed with the build quality - fit and finish is excellent just like the HAF series - or size - while not quite as tall as my Thor V2, it looks perhaps better - less "severe" (depends on tastes, I suppose) and still has 8 expansion slots in the back. I like how you can control the fan speed/noise from a button on the top as well as the LED control. Just pick up a 200mm fan for the side, and it's got good airflow and is quiet to boot.

Sure wish I needed another case. That one looks better then my Black Shark. Glad you like the case. I just like Thermaltake products. They have always held up well for me. I am now running an old Thermaltake Big Water system on my I7 and even though it is 3 years old and has been sitting in a box for at least 2 yeasrs it is crankin' away.

Interesting! What are the advantages over the HAF-X that I have been using?

Edit: The more I look, the more I want. But I need more details. It looks like this was priced at $350 vs. $200 for the HAF-X. Aside from more HD bays, and more fans (but smaller), what is driving the cost difference?

Cosmos II: 13.5" x 27.7" x 26.1"

Theft proof! (too heavy to steal) :D

More mounting locations for more fans with a built-in 4-channel speed controller

Supports larger mobos

Cool. I though I had standardized on HAF-X. I really like having R-O-O-M to install things, change things, move things around...all WITHOUT cutting my hands. But I think I have a new standard. :D

About the fans though, how is the noise? The thing I really like about the HAF-X is that it uses really big and QUIET fans. How is the nose level on the Cosmos II in comparison?

The Cosmos II is also made by Coolermaster and would use the same Coolermaster fans so shouldn't be much difference.

Well yeah, but the kind of fans are very different. The HAF-X uses a couple huge fans, spinning slower. The Cosmos II uses normal sized fans, and lots of them.

Nope. The Cosmos II has one front intake 200mm fan pre-installed plus a second mount for a 120m fan. The top fan mounts accept x2 120mm fans, x2 140mm fans (my setup) or x1 200mm fan. Rear exhaust has a pre-installed 140mm fan but also accepts a 120mm fan. Lower HDD cage has x2 pre-installed 120mm fans. Other 120mm fan mount points includes rear facing GPU fan and x2 side GPU fans.

Maybe this will help you put the size difference into perspective:

HAF X: 9.10" x 23.20" x 21.70" = 4581.3 cu. in.
Cosmos II: 13.5" x 27.7" x 26.1" = 9760.1 cu. in.

... do you think the 7970 will get any cheaper?? or is this very close to manufacturing costs??

Hi Coronicus! Great to see you man. This sounds like a JPM question. Oh where oh where has JPM gone? ;)

so im really considernig this purchase, so what you guys think was gonna wait till november sales but this is right in my budget range.. do you think the 7970 will get any cheaper?? or is this very close to manufacturing costs??

I've never seen the price this low. I believe it will not get any cheaper in the near future. That is why I got two.

Ok so i'm a little late with this question but i believe the price of all AMD 7000 series except the GHz will be cut by 40% starting monday. Am i too late to prevent anyone from pulling the trigger?

Just kidding!! :D

Edit: seriously the next price drop, other than any possible holiday specials which may or may not happen, would be in January
