Title: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: txoomy on March 24, 2013, 06:07:38 PM I'm just looking for a rough figure here.
If I went out and bought a stock $1500 gaming PC with a 7970 video card, how many BTC can I earn mining alone or as part of a pool? Again, just a rough estimate would be great.

Try plugging your numbers into this: http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ (http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/) It's not really worth it if you have to buy an entirely new rig, though LTC might be worth it. Also a 7970 is typically around 680 MHash/s. Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: Gator-hex on March 24, 2013, 07:57:58 PM 2 BTC
Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: WeTradeCoins on March 24, 2013, 07:59:36 PM 2 BTC My rig with 31 7970s produces roughly around 3 BTC per day... Around 0.22~0.28 BTC per day, per card (depends on pools luck as well, i use Slush) Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: Gator-hex on March 24, 2013, 08:03:51 PM Quote Around 0.22~0.28 BTC per day, per card 6.6 BTC pm on one 7970? I doubt it. More like 0.06 BTC per day, per card. Did you not measure it since reward halving and difficulty went up? Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: txoomy on March 24, 2013, 08:36:44 PM 2 BTC Hmm so around $150/mo at today's prices. How long do you think it would take to make back the $1500 for the rig, accounting for the difficulty increase? Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: Gator-hex on March 24, 2013, 10:25:36 PM GPUs are on their way out, unless you want to game or mine LiteCoin in the near future, don't spend too much on a GPU system.
For a cheap investment I recommend Ati 5830s they only cost £60/$90 and can hash 260-300MH/s 0.8-1BTC depending on setup/difficulty. Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: dog2bert on March 25, 2013, 02:02:21 AM I get around 630 mhs with my 7970. Installed the Artic air cooler to make it run much cooler, the XFX cooler is not very good.
Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: notaek on March 25, 2013, 02:07:28 AM Not sure about you guys but I only get 0.06 a day at 600MH/s (I can actually reach 800 MH/s by overvolting like crazy), probably less now that the difficulty is 6.8 million. In other words, it is definitely not worth it if you plan to build a $1500 rig just to mine. If you intend on buying a 7970 for gaming and mining on the side you can make around 130 bucks a month mining litecoin.
Title: Re: How many BTC/month w 7970 Post by: ardme on March 25, 2013, 02:22:25 AM I am getting between 0.005 and 0.01 a day currently with about 650 - 700 mh/s (decent overclocking).
The difficulty is changing so fast now who knows.
