anything cheaper?

You'll need risers if you want to be able to use the pcie 1x slots, and you won't be putting them in crossfire because the cards work independently. With $4000, you would get more hash out of 2 rigs with more efficient cards.

Run them separately. Just set a miner for each card.

I just have to ask one question. Is coin mining still worth investing that kind of money in?

Not really, if you're wanting 4 way crossfire it requires a higher end motherboard.

This is another choice

id need 4 mobos then

4 290's dont enable crossfire and set up a wroker for each of them

[wng_kingsley7]

290x aren't worth it against 290's they only performance minutely slightly better ...and just saying since the difficulty has risen the cards cost significantly more.

No, you can use more than one gpu on a mobo. Even an amd and nvidia. Someone who is more knowledgeable may be able to elaborate on why/how that works.

no u can put them all on one mobo just dont enable crossfire

use something like a litecoin calculator and see if its worth it to you

[Tea1337]

You  can buy all those cards, just don't enable Cross fire, you can get them all to mine individually

Holy shit. I can make 5 bucks a day if I use an R9 290x? I don't even pay for electricity so there are no downsides! Why didn't anyone tell me this before?

[LapX]

not crossfiring ? You don't need a bridge on the new cards (R7 and R9). Maybe don't crossfire in the AMD menu because the computer would consider the cards as one ?

how?

how does this look? i have a cpu already what case should i use?

[needmorewood]

how?

dude if u dont know how to mine yet dont spend $4k on a mining rig learn it all first

[Tea1337]

how?

I think AMD has a utility to control wither they are in cross fire or not. I'm not too into mining but when you start i think it uses all of the cards at once but not together as one

[MangoJuiceStain]

congrats u just learned how to use your brain and GOOGLE!

too bad u still know nothing about cryptocurrencies and the current state of them!

I know what they are, I just never thought they were worth taking a look at how to mine them and if they are worth it.
