cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

[jae480]

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:

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.

Get free electricity here okay will stick with BTC

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.
