How good is 7990 for Litecoin mining?

[muqali]

My 7970 pulls over 500k. I'd imagine that a 7990 would get 1000 easily. You could probably undervolt it and save some power and still keep it over 1000kh.

payoff in 10 months

2x 7950s is cheaper and gets about the same rate

but the 7990 looks a lot cooler.

2x uses more power

I would guess so, I've seen no numbers so far though.

So are people buying up litecoins in preparation for ASIC?  Are people expecting the litecoin difficulty to go up even more in the next couple months?

It sounds like people can profitably invest in GPU's for litecoin mining just like the could bitxoin mining last year...

Perhaps FPGAs & ASIC will be programmed to mine for litecoins next?

1) yes.  yes. in fact i know it will go up because i'm buying cards.
2) yes.
3) FPGA no ASIC yes, but not in the near future.

Never know bfl might start taking preorders 2 years out on them.

pre-orders next year and not deliver until 2014

lol yeah exactly

Perhaps if some memory is added to the BFL single (FPGA version) it can be programmed to mine litecoins?

Maybe that's the plan for the trade in units?
