My parents bought an HP computer with a AMD HD 7570 graphics card. I think it is only available to OEMs and is not sold retail. Anyone know what kind of performance that card will achieve for Bitcoin mining? I'm guessing it is pretty slow and won't be cost effective. I couldn't find any info on this card at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

I'd think about pool mining. Also get a Kill-A-Watt or something similar and see how much your entire rig consumes from the wall then plug in your info into http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ and see if you are doing ok. I think you'll be making some amount for a while if you already own the hardware and don't have to consider the cost of the hardware.

Litecoin but I really haven't looked at any other alt coins. I guess Namecoin is ok since I get them free while mining for Bitminter.

Noted but why do you say that?

I think you need to be actively browsing. Not sure how it detects activity but leaving the page open idle for a long time didn't work for me.

This is frustrating. Been lurking for a long time (unregistered) but I registered a little while ago but no posts and I want to enter anyroll's 10 BTC GIVEAWAY!
