    4 PowerColor R 270X cards

    I have 4 of these that I'm putting up for sale and thought I'd ask here first in case anyone was interested. They were used to mine for about 1 month at stock clocks. Ran flawlessly. Used them in the last Einstein team challenge that SETIUSA participated in. These cards are really well made and come with a factory installed back plate. Come in the original box w/accessories. Looking for $100 each shipped. $190 for 2, $285 for 3, $380 for all 4. PM me if you're interested. Thanks

    I may be interested but would need a week to see if I can swing it.

    I'm way behind the knowledge curve here so... I was hoping to score a 7970 to replace the 5870 in my main rig. By comparison, how much better (if at all) is the R9 270X?

    5870 is faster than 270X, though it uses ~20% more electricity. SP is maybe 1-2% better, but DP is like 3x better on the 5870.

    FWIW AnandTech rates the 270X better in every bench mark, including F@H single precision. The 270X is slower in DP. 170 GF vs 544 GF for the 5870.

    Re: 4 PowerColor R 270X cards

    Thx guys for the info. I realized later that those two cards were way different. Somewhere in my head I had the 270X in place of the 290X. Chalk it up to my advancing years....

    I may wait to see what is offered during Black Friday. If a 290X can be had at a really good price, I think I'll just pull the trigger on that instead.

    5870 has worse DP than a 290X, and the 290X has worse DP than a 7970. Of course if you don't care about DP then none of that matters

    Ahh okay JPM. Thx for the refresher. This info has been posted before IIRC. The only issue I might have with a 7970 is finding a full block WC plate for it.
