Title: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: MaxLAMF on February 03, 2013, 10:14:13 AM So, FPGA´s seem to be useless for LTC. GPU´s aren´t that efficient either AFAIK. So only CPU´s left?
What do you recommend? Or with what are mining LTC? Thanks! Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: Gabi on February 03, 2013, 02:14:23 PM GPU. They are good at ltc.

GPU's are in fact the best hardware you can purchase to mine LTC, until something better comes along. Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins?

Here is a thread that might be of help to you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.msg1256502#msg1256502 You can try the 890FXA-GD70 motherboard with either HD Radeon 5970's, 6990's, or 7970's. Buy some pci-e extender cables so you can use all 5 pcie slots on the motherboard. Let me know if you have any questions. You can use cgminer for mining LTC. reaper is a bit unstable.

Let let me know if you wanna get rid of them. You can buy LTC here: https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: Rampion on February 04, 2013, 03:15:46 PM Would you recommend mining LTC on a 3 years old MacBook Pro? How would you do it?
Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: smoothie on February 04, 2013, 09:49:58 PM Would you recommend mining LTC on a 3 years old MacBook Pro? How would you do it? I wouldn't recommend it. The amount of LTC you would mine from a CPU at this point would be very little per day. Most people use high end video cards with GPUs to get Litecoins mined. Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: MaxLAMF on February 06, 2013, 09:10:50 PM I actually have the 990FXA-UD3 running here...with a damn 660 GTX TI (decided for the Nvidia instead for the 7950 or 5970 can´t recall right now, for the same price as the 660, just because of DirectX 11.1 support...). All before I got into mining.
Someone wanna trade against a Radeon 7970 (would pay the difference of about 100 bucks). Still got about 18months warranty here in Germany... Also got 2 GT 9600 TI laying around... Don´t think someone will answer, but it´s worth a try... Title: Re: Recommendend Hardware for mining Litecoins? Post by: dan99 on April 07, 2013, 01:56:05 PM Hi, is the reaper still the best hardware for mining Litecoin? Any FPGA or ASIC hardware available currently?
