Looking for AMD graphics cards. Who's got some to list?
-
You want to do Bitcoin mining ?? Or gaming ???
For gaming this is the best NVIDIA GTX 690: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH3kP8LZtBM
For mining the AMD Radeon 5850 is good.: http://youtu.be/lEGIZOO-HYY
BTW, The NVIDIA 690 GTX looks like Optimus Prime ... ;)

Any specific card, quantity of cards? And how much are you looking to spend?
m
Also as was asked is this for ganing or miing?

5xxx's are pretty expensive when individuals are selling them, most people know their value. You can sometimes get lucky and score one on amazon, but that's luck, I doubt anyone here who has a 5xxx would offer it to you for a reasonable price given it's already overinflated value.
Honestly I would suggest you get a 6870 for $130 and downclock the ram to the max and o/c the GPU (if this card is for mining), I think I was pulling 300-350Mhash/s with them OCed. I wish you the best in finding an 5xxx though, don't mean to flame your thread heh, I would suggest against a 5830 though cuz they take more power (I think 175W vs. 150W for 5850/70) and the 5830 has a lower GPU core like 700, whereas the 5850 has a stock core of 800mhz and the 5870 a stock GPU core of 850mhz. This is partly why these cards mine so well, they come out of the box with a high GPU core freq.

Huh, maybe there could be some business in reselling things like computer parts and such on sr?
I may poke my dad about that.

Yeah if you could get heavily discounted current generation hardware (eg. ivy bridge CPUs) I would definitely buy from you.

There's so many people using botnets nowadays to perform mining that doing it on your own using a single PC with a single graphics card (even a very good one) is nearly pointless.

Trying to mine with only ONE video card pre or post botnet is and always was completely pointless lol, even a 6990. If you can get access to machines you dont pay electricity for (like say work machines), there is large potential for profit so long as you can push out the GHash in one of the mining pools that pays you based on your contribution to the block. You'd need quite a few cards (10+) though if you are looking for profit. Botnet's have nothing to do with it if there exists a mining pool that will pay you BTC for your proportional contribution to cracking the block, and they are everywhere.
I've had 9 cards churning for months now, but I started when it was profitable and worth the investment, now it's really only worth the investment if you can push enough to mine block's yourself ... which is a big investment.

I personally am looking for NEW (unopened) HEAVILY discounted (aka they were stolen) computer parts.
For those looking for used theres 2 suggestions :D
