Title: Help me figure out expected hash rate!
Post by: rcaruso90 on May 23, 2011, 05:40:10 AM
I recently ordered parts to build a computer. I was not thinking of mining at the time but now i am thinking about doing so. My question is how do i figure out the hash rate i can expect out of my new GPU. If it's low and crappy, i'l sell it online and order a better one before i ever even open it. If it's decent though, i may just buy a second one because it wasnt that pricey.

This is what i ordered: EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 01G-P3-N959-TR Video Card
(newegg.com listing: http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3621681-10440897?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16814130395%26nm_mc%3DAFC-C8Junction%26cm_mmc%3DAFC-C8Junction-_-Video%2BCards-_-EVGA-_-14130395&cjsku=N82E16814130395 )

How can i figure out what ill get from this?

It's low and crappy. You certainly won't pay for the card in any reasonable amount of time. Better to send it back to Newegg and buy $70 of bitcoins.

This is in the hardware comparison chart (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison).
your card will do around 6.75 Mhash/s

Check my thread for more information :) Hope this helped~
