OK you asked for it - there there are already two similar discussions going on regarding crypto currencies:
- The first is in the CPUs forum started by moderator Reynod: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2041369/cryptomining-hardware-thread.html
- The second is on what makes up the rest of a rig suitable for coin mining: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2041828/crypto-currencies-coin-mining-rest-rig.html
This thread will focus on discussion with crypto currency mining and graphics cards.
This is a moderator sanctioned thread for discussing the best graphics cards and graphics hardware for mining the hottest crypto currencies. There has been a lot of discussion with crypto currencies and graphics cards, particularly of the AMD 78XX and Radeon R9-2XX series (and interest in currency mining has heavily driven up the price of these cards). The Radeon 79XX are also particularly adept at crypto currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin and as such the prices on those particular cards have skyrocketed due to the high demand.
We will be monitoring this in a week to see how this goes. Remember - keep it on topic and keep it civil! All off topic posts will be deleted and this thread will be monitored by myself and the other moderators to make sure that this will remain on discussion with crypto currencies and currency mining.
