Litecoin is right coin

I got enough litecoin to dump on a 7950 this will jump my hash rate from 871khash/s to 1471-1521khash/s, or should I hold my ltc?

Seriously.
What do you guys think? Hold or dump?

I think LTC mining is going to be extremely profitable. I'd buy a card, but I'd go for the 7970.

Don't listen to this guy, 7950 all the way.  I'll lay it out for you and show why serious miners do 7950.

7970 gets 750 according to crypto. Most people get less however.

7950 gets 650 though most get less.

Both can get the high numbers with much testing and work.

Based off of top end numbers:

7970 = $400 = 1.875 h/s/$
7950 = $290 = 2.24 h/s/$

per card, yes, but you get something like 3h/$ if you buy a 5830, would you be buying a 5830? no because there's only so many you can fit on a rig, before you have to buy another set of mobo/ram/cpu etc.. The card that give bigger hash per PCIE slot does have its advantages, especially if space is of concern.

6 7950 per computer vs 6 7970 per computer the 7950's still come out cheaper per k/s/$

Up front this is correct - but one thing you may want to think about is the difference in resale value.  I think we can all agree GPU mining is seeing its final days in the coming months.  So your resale market is down to gamers.  Most gamers who buy used equipment are looking for the best card available at the time.  (7970/7990)

Isn't the whole point of mining to get a quick return on the money invested in the hardware then have pure profit? Why are you buying hardware otherwise? To circlejerk your e-cock by saying you have a bunch of worthless 7970s?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

The problem here as well is that 2 7950's outperform a 7970 in gaming per $ spent as well.  Either way a 7950 is a better buy.

Exactly what I've decided, I am holding. I almost sold yesterday for a 7950 before making this post, glad I didn't sell/trade, like how you said, Matthew N. Wright, and some others have stated.
