Title: Curious about energy costs with 7950
Post by: RyuBlade94 on December 15, 2013, 09:35:53 PM
Hi everyone, i would like to know how much i would spend mining altcoins and litecoin using a 7950 with the power set to +20, for about 4 hours a day with around 0,25/0,30$ per kw/h.
Also, would change something if i mine using the gpu, on a rig with an overclocked i5 3570k, speaking of electricity costs? (4.4GHz against the stock 3.4)
Can someone help me? Thanks :)

CPU doesnt matter for GPU mining, your electricity costs are high... Check profitability here:

Since 7950 is around 200w it will cost you around 6-7$ / month. But you should see the actual wattage on the wall.
In any case i don't think that it will be more than 10$ / month
