So, here are some questions for the experts:
1. Is that table still valid, i.e. from experience, is it true what I wrote above?
2. What should one look for in the specs of a card for LTC mining? Engine Clock, Memory Clock, memory bandwidth, all of them?
What is vital for LTC mining?
3. If you know of any other hardware or brand good for mining LTC can you pls share?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Hi,
1.) Found the 6990 hard to obtain, never used it. The 7970 are very nice though. I get 750kHash/s at
core 1000/mem 1450. Stock values were 925/1375.
2.) Engine clock is most important. The higher the better. Memory clock is said to be kept at certain ratio to core clock, like 0.57-0.59 for optimum performance, but I couldn't verify that. The higher the core clock, the better. Memor bandwidth is pretty much irrelevant.
3.) GPUs are of utmost importance. No big requirements for the other stuff. Go for a quality PSU though, make sure it has sufficient power. 7950 or 7970 are best choice for LTC at the moment imho.
Have fun!
