Title: Please enlighten me... Post by: Drizzlepistol on May 02, 2011, 07:14:16 PM Hello, fellow miners!
I have a couple of questions regarding Bitcoins, mining and graphics card... 1. So I`m currently mining on my AMD 5970 and it gets about 750 m/hs. Is it really worth buying more gpus or mining computers in the long run? Do I really get enough bitcoins to cover my expenses in the future? 2. If I were to buy a new mining box, what gpus should I buy? I would only be able to fit 2 cards and not the most expensive ones e.g 6990`s Thanks you and I hope I have posted in the right forum xD DrizzleP. Title: Re: Please enlighten me...

Purchasing new mining hardware is... not so clear. You might make a profit, you might not even break even. Make sure to take difficulty increases into account when doing any calculations. 2. If I were to buy a new mining box, what gpus should I buy? I would only be able to fit 2 cards and not the most expensive ones e.g 6990`s 5970 is still the top dog. As far as I know, it hashes faster than the 6990 and it more efficient. Title: Re: Please enlighten me...
