Hey guys I was hoping you could help me. So I have cgminer 2.11.4 and I'm mining litecoins right. The thing is that cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s and my Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 was only supposed to get about 320 Kh/s. Is there something wrong with cgminer or am I really getting 270 Mh/s. Also how many litecoins does this translate too?

270 sounds about right for a single AMD 6870. If you want to compare this page is pretty good: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Right but is that MEGAhashes or Kilohashes? If its Kilohashes I only get about 40 LTC or $200 and if its Megahashes I get a heck of a lot more litecoins. So I don't know which one it is.

if you mine litecions you mine in khash/s
Bitcions can mine in Mhash/s
this is due to enscryption difficulty

In terms of earning - would you get more with bitcoin or litecoin?

6870 is only rated at 300MH/s... You might break even mining bitcoins with the cost of electricity, at USD:BTC exchange rate of ~$200:1. Sorry, it's just the math.

if you want to know what is most profitable you need to look at how much bit coins you can mine in time X and how much litecions in time X
multiply that by the worth of the coin and you have a good indication which coin earns the most.
if you have free electricity then you could skip the cost side of the balance

Hashing LTC? You need to tell cgminer the --scrypt options
You are now mining BTC on the LTC shares. Not gonna work.

How do I make cgminer mine LTC? I'm sorry I'm a complete noob. I have CGMiner2.11.4 and I open up cgminer by Clicking on the cgminer application.
