Advice Regarding Reference Design GPU's - ryley - 10-13-2014 Hi everyone, I'm a long time user of hash cat an I'm looking at buying a new GPU to replace my dying 5970's. I don't seem to do as much hash related stuff as I used to and whatever card I buy will be used more so for gaming. In light of the power efficiency improvements and improved hash performance I've been leaning towards the new 970/980 Nvidia cards. In the past I've seen a lot of recommendations for buying reference design cards as opposed to OEM design. So I was wondering what issues (aside from the cost ![]() Thanks in advance, Ryley RE: Advice Regarding Reference Design GPU's - undeath - 10-13-2014 I don't think heat is much of an issue in a single-gpu system. RE: Advice Regarding Reference Design GPU's - ryley - 10-14-2014 Thanks for the reply undeath. Glad to know there won't be any heat issues with running a non-reference design. |
