Here's a great StackExchange article that describes why: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1523/bitcoin-alternative-designed-for-nvidia (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/1523/bitcoin-alternative-designed-for-nvidia) Title: Re: Nvidia 7300LE GPU work with mining? Post by: Abanomi24 on April 01, 2013, 03:36:03 AM Thanks! Now while I wait for my eBayed ATI card, can I use the 7300 with CUDA?

Title: Re: Nvidia 7300LE GPU work with mining? Post by: physalis on April 01, 2013, 12:26:39 PM Don't know if you're missing the news, but GPU mining was yesterday. It's not profitable anymore, and even if it still is for a little change, that's all over in about half a month, when all the ASICs hit the market.
So if you're really spending money on ATI cards, specifically for mining, I hope you're not doing that to turn a profit, because you won't... If you're just doing it for fun, go ahead Title: Re: Nvidia 7300LE GPU work with mining? Post by: Gator-hex on April 01, 2013, 12:46:37 PM Nvidia doesn't work for mining.
Get Ati 5830s same price as 6770/5770 but faster and cooler You can still make money mining at $90 per BTC if it drops because of ASICs, switch to mining LiteCoins, and you still have a decent gaming PC. |
