Primarily 470,480,570,580. We also ran a very large cluster of PS5 APU chips too.

Got the chips directly from AMD. Since these are 4-5 year old chips, they were not going to ever be used. It is more ROI efficient with ETH mining to use older cards than newer ones.

Had a couple OEM manufacture the cards specially for us with 8gb, heatsinks instead of fans (lower power usage) and no display ports (lower cost).

They will be recycled as there isn't much use for them now.

I'm also no longer with the company.

Cool! Were the PS5 APUs actually attached to a PS5 motherboard, or were they repurposed entirely?

Asrock bc-250. This is some hardware that I wouldn't have purchased, if given the choice, especially that close to ETH PoS.

That said, I made it work, which was an insane amount of work, and it mined really well.
