        BTW the Sapphire Vapor cards are not the best card you can buy.
        Better go for the cheaper Sapphire DUO cards, €10 euro cheaper each and better kH/s right out of the box…

          I know they dont have any advantage over the regular Dual-X ones, but the cheapest basic 280x in stock was ~€280 and I got the Vapors just under €260 each.

          I just hope they run @mild settings like those I use for my other 280X’s which are
          eng/mem/volts
          1020mhz/1250mhz/1.08v
          for a total of 2.1+Mh/s

          Of course … if they’ll go faster @ low volts as fyrputt suggest … I’m fine with that =)

          [b]@fyrputt[/b] I’m guessing you run the Vapors at around 1050mhz engine?

            At my current hashrate i can invest in one new dual R9 290 rig every 2 months.

            So maybe addictive, but healthier than other kinds of drugs for sure.

              The answer is the same as for the question, “How do you stop a rhino from charging?”

              You take away it’s credit card.

                When I had my full farm running, I’d walk into the room late at night to check them before going to bed, few if any clothes on, with only the light from the monitors to see by, look at the CGminer numbers on both monitors, look at the GPUs whirring away, breathe heavily onto them, feel their heat, think of the coins coming my way…

                Tell me I’m not the only one like that! :o

                  Well I did it again…

                  The PC shop sent me an email that the three R9 290 GPU’s that I had ordered two weeks ago have been arrived and should be collected at the store…

                  Damn…

                    Are you exchanging coins to dollars to purchase new rigs or are using places that will take coins as payment? Coins aren’t worth anything if you can’t exchange for $$ or product.

                      I’m not exchanging coins for fiat, just digging up some old socks to expand the rigs ;-)
