Was reading one of my geek mags and saw the R9 280x cards. AMD set the price point at $300 and they are basically a 7970 so I went shopping. You have to read the blogs to figure out what is going on but these Litecoin asses are buying them up. Newegg is hitting $130 over the MSRP. What a bunch of BS, I went to Litecoin and started reading. I do have to give them credit, the math and tweaks they were applying to these cards was past me. I had 4 5830's and 4 5870's I was putting to bed, guess I'll wait a little longer. I understand the creation fosters demand but what actually do these Litecoin GPU's do?
