Title: Any point left in GPU mining?
Post by: rmhuntley on July 27, 2014, 04:10:55 AM
I"ve got an HD5850. Is there truly any point left in mining, or will I be pissing money away?

I think I'd try LTC mining if I had a nice GPU.  Obviously I'd be converting it to BTC at every moment though.

Buy a better gpu, hell even a 750ti can mine X11/X13 pretty good,
but you aren't going to make much without a farm or asic.

Even if you have decent GPU , LTC  mining won't even ROI for months or year in the scrypt Asic era.
