Title: Just ordered x2 7990 Radeon's
Post by: c33fax on June 07, 2013, 08:03:39 PM
Nearly had to re-mortgage the house for these mother funkers...  I hope I can make my money back...

My solar Powered house will help with the electricity..

Let's hope the gamble pays off.

That's what I thought!   even if I only half pay-it off - It'll be still worth it.

Plus the 7990 output's 'Ultra HD 4k' the new High Def standard.   Just need the tv.

But for the meantime they're mining 24/7  :)

I wasn't going too, just regular bitcoin, why is litecoin more profitable?

Cause asic are pushing up the difficulty in btc mining. You have to check you numbers, maybe it will be more profitable to mine ltc (no asic competition) and sell for btc instead.

I'll try both, and see what happens...  hopefully they should arrive tomorrow.. cost me £1600 for dual 7990's :(

The LTC is going to stop being profitable as soon as the majority of GPU miners switch to LTC.
I would suspect that in 2-3 months. (but well, who knows?)

I believe that there is way of reducing power consumption of other system parts so 800W PSU would be enough to run both graphics cards.
