With the rise of ASIC, I am wondering if it is still worth Mining on my hardware? I am waiting for my ASIC (yay BFL preorder 25ghs... Waiting....waiting) to come in, but until then...

Right now I am averaging about 1100 +\- MHash\s

3 AMD cards
5970
7950
6570

The rest of the computer is a budget build on an AMD CPU platform.

So BTC or move on to LTC?

Depends what you pay for eletricity and if running the machine is worth troubles (monitoring, failed components)

If you need profit calculator:

well...failed components is something will wait to see...monitoring so far, has been dependable

I guess I am looking for my cut point...right now I am averaging a small .035ish BTC a day... not sure if that is still worth doing or not, just looking for opinion of those a bit more experienced.

You might want to look into mining litecoin instead.  The returns on mining with GPUs are diminishing.

The difficulty curve raises by 10% per week, or even faster. Two months ago I was thinking about purchasing a few 7950, because they would make a profit of a few BTC per month. For today they would barely return in a year period, even if the difficulty would stay on todays' level.
So as for me - I'm switching to LTC. I've tried this today, but I've overclocked my memory clock and the system hanged... and as I was doing it by a remote desktop, I couldn't access it by tomorrow morningm so I have no idea if it is more profitable than BTC for this moment Wink
