Nvidia 750 ti? looks promising
-
So the W/kh ends up being about half in comparison to a 280x if you really can churn out 300kh/s with them bad boys. However it’s still a very pricey card if you look at kh/$.
I guess it all comes down to if power is a concern or not :)
Would be cool tho if NVIDIA became a solid alternative to AMD for scrypt-mining. There’s a pure madness going on today on the second hand market where people pay same money for the cards even if they’re used (I keep a close eye to the second hand market here in sweden and it’s insane, I’ve seen some 7950s go for more than they cost in stores today).
I wonder if it’s poor implementation of cuda-miner or if it’s something in the architecture with NVIDIA that makes them hash so low?

Reference GTX 750Ti retails at $149.
And NVIDIA just uploaded a teaser for their GTX Titan Black.
I’m pretty sure AMD is bound to cough up something… rumor has it that AMD is developing a dual-R9 290X GPU codenamed Vesuvius (overheats and erupts like Mt. Vesuvius when hashing ::))
-
…Maxwell architecture’s improvements allow the 60 W GeForce GTX 750 Ti to outperform the 140 W GeForce GTX 660 and approach AMD’s 150 W Radeon R7 265
That’s interesting…
four GM107-based cards in a mining rig should be able to outperform a Radeon R9 290X for less money, using less power.
No room for expansion though?
-
Could be the start of much needed competition in this market to help drive prices down.
-
300KH/s might be rough, but Forbes is showing consistant 280KH/s:
Still, 6 of these off a 500W power supply could be dreamy, or at least a good “add as you have” solution for people slowly building up rigs.
Only caveat I heard so far was that they don’t work powered risers.
-
Anyone actually know anyone who is mining with these?

Been looking at theese as they price/performance/watt are pretty damn good.
My biggest problem is that mobos only have 6 pci-e connections.
Meaning you need to build an entire rig PSU/CPU/MOBO/RAM/HDD for messely 1500khash (thinking an average of 250Khash pr card stable 24/7)
Which means your close to 1000GBP for an rig system with 6x 750TI, that makes roi time allmost 6months.
Ive returned my latest 290X and 280X investment (4x280X and 3x290X). Just cause this is interessting.
I do however not feel that 750TI is the right card. Would like to have double hashrate/double power/double price, at least then you get 3Mhash pr system. Which will really help on ROI timing.
For smalltime miners that just wanna have an rig its pretty damn great though, 1500khash, silent operation, low heat, and just plain fun.
For someone looking to scale over 20Mhash however. To much hassle imo.
I have money ready if they release an better spec GTX8xx series maxwell card however!

That might describe me.

Now if someone could only make an usb to pci-express adapter and we would be golden :D

Pretty things all in a row.

Doubt you’ll be able to draw enough power from USBs.

What’s to stop me buying two of these, perhaps the EVGA ones with the PCI-e power, and sticking them in my existing PC, just to get me on the ‘mining ladder’? I won’t be able to run them in SLI, since they are not SLI enabled, but could I use one of them for gaming, on the odd few times the feeling takes me?

Does anyone know how hard these are to setup? I’ve heard u can’t use riser cables? And possibly mess with voltage to get the 250/280khs
I’m not sure I’m up for that unless its a bit easier than that :-)
-
And if we can’t use risers… can we cram as many as we can on one board?

I mean, there’s only one fan on 'em:

They couldn’t get that hot, right? RIGHT?! :P

WHATNOW? this was new information for me?
Why not use riser cables? how else are you gonna supply em with 60w each? where did you hear this?
Wondering if i should buy me an 6pack of these, have an spare mobo (asrock h61 pro btc),corsair 800w psu, cpu and mem just laying here after not going through with my latest 280X build.

Think I read it in this review.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-17.html
Not sure if it’s true but it says the cards can get up to 60watts direct from the pcie but I’m sure it mentions risers somewhere?
-
I was wrong there’s no problem with using risers. But people are suggesting getting the cards with power connectors rather than without and possibly need powered risers for the 1x pcie as it only supplies 25watts

Nvidia is back in the game. Yessss. I am running a 780ti and with some slight overclocking I hit 710 Kh/s on the new cuda update. Die Amd die.

Hi guys im really struggling to get my 2x brand new Gigabyte 750ti cards running on ubuntu 12.04 iv followed a few tutorials but I cant get the drivers to be picked up and used. I can at least get the screen visable by using the nvidia_current driver (304) from apt-get but with a resolution of 600X480 or whatever. terrible.
I have tried installing the drivers both through apt-get and also the NVIDIA…run file for 64x linux but no joy. wasted a couple of nights so far.
Does anyone have know a good tutorial / walkthrough or can anybody give me specific instructions on at least getting the driver installed (319 or better is prefereable)

What made you go for the gainwards?
