Title: Should i choose...
Post by: Halum5 on October 15, 2016, 04:09:19 PM
Should i choose nvidia geforce gtx 660 (2 Gb) or some radeon (256 Mb) for Litecoin mining?

Choose neither. Litcoin mining with GPUs is dead already long time ago. Even if you had some weird free electricity argument, there would still have more profitable to mine.

Forget about mining LTC with GPUs. if you are looking for a profitable GPU coin look up Ethereum and Monero. A GTX 660 will not even be able to mine ETH but might be able to mine XMR, but it's probably not profitable.

It would not be  profitable for sure when you intend to Mine  XMR , if  im  going to  choose  i would  mine  ETH  using  AMD GPU because its  more profitable  for me hence i have  a very cheap elevtricity here in my country. XMR is  just  a second choince though.

Both cards are rather useless when it comes to mining, profit wise it's a big question of would it even cover electricity costs.
Better just collect some funds to buy better GPU's, or forget about mining ideas alltogeather, it wont be worth it.

Definitely AMD. But if you plan mining with 1 gpu...probably is not profitable, unless you are not paying for electricity.

You should try a test before leaving your gpu/gpus to mine.

whattomine.com => introduce the hashrate you have on your card and the algorithm from the coin you want to mine (eth = ethash, xmr = cryptonight)
