Hi,

I'm currently mining Ubiq, using my 2x R9 290 with a combined hash rate of 58.7MH/s. I use pool mining at https://ubiq.suprnova.cc/.

I would like to switch to Litecoin. Is it profitable to mine it with these GPU's? (ignore power consumption for this argument)
If yes, then solo or pool?

Thanks!

Thanks.
Any suggestions on utilizing these GPU's for greater profitability on other altcoins?

The R9 290 is probably best used on ETH and it's clones like ETC at this time.
This has been generally the case with occasional "hours-long" periods of exception (and a VERY short period when ZEC was first introduced, first 2-3 days or so) for at least the last year.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

Just like a bitcoin LTC won't be profitable on any GPU
