Title: Mining bitcoins on GPU not worth it?
Post by: solidgod on May 06, 2013, 11:26:54 AM
Hey, pretty new to all this, but it seems like people are talking about mining coins other than BTC, and mining BTC is really difficult. Any suggestions? What should I look for to start mining? Thanks!

It is not worth mining Bitcoin on my nVidia GTX 460 ti.

 It's worth it if you have a high enough hashrate.

If you have an AMD GPU 5000 series and I think it is profitable for most cards. It is an easy way to get a few bitcoins if you are willing to let your card(s) run for a few weeks or months.

It's worth more to mine the other alternative coins then convert to BTC.
