Title: ltc gpu mining Post by: parsa2011 on January 01, 2013, 10:43:42 PM hello there
it my first post here but i had read many of threads im new to btc and ltc and i have a few questions: 1- is it possible to mine ltc with gpu? 2- is the process of mining the same for ltc and btc? i mean for example if your hash rate is 200 kh/s you will get same result for mining or not? or its better to ask hardware with same hash rates have the same efficiency mining btc and ltc? 3-the hash rates mentioned https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison) can be used in calculators for ltc? Title: Re: ltc gpu mining Post by: odolvlobo on January 01, 2013, 11:04:36 PM If you are interested in mining LTC, you should take a look at the LTC forums: http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/board,3.0.html
The answers to your questions are yes, no, no. Title: Re: ltc gpu mining Post by: RyNinDaCleM on January 02, 2013, 02:56:45 AM #1; Yes, you can mine LTC with a GPU using CGminer/Reaper software.
#2; If you mine BTC @1Gh/s, you will mine LTC @~1Mh/s #3; No, there is a Litecoin specific calculator Title: Re: ltc gpu mining Post by: parsa2011 on January 02, 2013, 01:59:02 PM thank you for your answers

It depends a lot of the cryptocurrency price fluctuations and electricity prices. There's a chance you won't be able to earn back your investment at all.

It depends a lot of the cryptocurrency price fluctuations and electricity prices.

This would let you use all the money you were planning on spending on a PS3 towards a card.

Well you could game on your computer if you had a card like a 7990. This would let you use all the money you were planning on spending on a PS3 towards a card. With 2 7990's you would have a bad ass gaming 'puter, which would continue to play the most GPU intensive games for quite a while. Unfortunately, I don't think you can do 6-way CF.

i dont have the 7990 at the moment i've planned to upgrade my pc , buy a ps3 for my little brother as a new year gift and buy an iphone 5 for myself well he would play game max 2hours per day so i want to see if it worth to buy a pc with higher configs and make some money beside these all and have the money back for iphone ( i assume it would take up to iphone 6 ) and ps3 Title: Re: ltc gpu mining Post by: notaek on January 03, 2013, 07:17:27 PM The likelihood of you making all of your money back from a 7990 is very slim. I bought a 7970 for gaming. When I'm not gaming I mine which gets me about $70 a month. I've just broke even as I bought one when it first came out, but soon I'm not going to be making any money because of ASICs.
