[QUOTE="king bast, post: 1150805, member: 11725"] 26c kw/h where I am, so yes, power is a significant consideration, but I've based the design around keeping it pretty efficient. I added a used 280x and found that it drew almost as much power as the other 3 cards combined. Decent hashpower, but it wasn't worth the power consumption, so I sold it again (at a profit) on gumtree. AMD cards aren't really suitable for mining where power costs are high. I've got a current-gen one which isn't too bad, but anything earlier just drains the juice. The other 3 cards I've got are Nvidia ones which don't generally have as much raw power on most algorithms, but are miserly on power compared to their AMD equivalent. I've also got solar panels to feed it, at least during daylight hours. If I didn't have the panels and/or if my rig was all AMD, I could very well be losing money. [/QUOTE]
