Title: Breakdown of profit running 2 x 5870 Post by: joker060 on June 27, 2011, 03:10:57 AM I have the chance to buy 2 5870s for just under $600.
With the current difficulty, is it profitable to be mining anymore? Thanks. Title: Re: Breakdown of profit running 2 x 5870 Post by: BitcoinForAll on June 27, 2011, 03:28:58 AM Good!
2x5870 -> ~800MHas/s -> 0.53BC/day -> ~10%/day Title: Re: Breakdown of profit running 2 x 5870 Post by: shata on June 27, 2011, 03:35:30 AM http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php

Title: Re: Breakdown of profit running 2 x 5870 Post by: bitebitebite on June 27, 2011, 03:50:55 AM Depends if you are buying these cards for mining only. If so - I believe no cards will come close to recouping their cost now (remember difficulty increases very fast). If you were getting them for gaming, sure a few $ a day will be earned (whether you think thats worth 24/7 usage is up to you)

Title: Re: Breakdown of profit running 2 x 5870 Post by: bitcon on June 27, 2011, 05:06:15 AM not worth it...... unless miracuously bitcoins are someday worth $1000 ea. then it might be worth it. but you could have saved a lot of time and electricity if you used that $600 to buy 30 bitcoins. you'll never mine 30 bitcoins using 2x5870 for the rest of your life.
