best GPU for mining litecoin?

[1969mets]

the title says it all. initial price and power consumption are not of concern. looking to only buy one though.

Thanks, I try

My understanding is that it is based on the scrypt algorithm, so, I'm guessing there are a pile of ASICS out there mining this. But if you want a GPU, I believe the nVidia range handle this algorithm better than the AMD range.

I'm very new to mining, so, maybe a more experienced miner would give you better information.

yeah right now im just mining bitcoin with an s7, but i have no idea where to start if im not using an asic miner. if you have any basic tutorials that would be great.

[Asgaroth]

I started by watching a few videos by BitsBeTrippin.

Have a look at some of his videos, there are ones on how to build a mining rig and how to use their multiminer to get started mining.

There will be videos there that will get you started. Good luck.

You're 4 years late to be GPU mining Scrypt.

Well there is no point in mining LTC with your GPU as you are not mining BTC with a GPU. You are familiar with ASIC Miners ... and you are knowledgeable of that much, So somehow feels like a creating a new thread to just to get some post count for your new account

My HD 7850 did OK ~320 kH/s, back in 2014.

Does anyone have any recommendations for scrypt asic miner? anything other than the l3+

[QuintLeo]

Innosilicon A4+ is the current "king of the hill" for Scrypt - if you have $10,000 or so to buy their min order of 3 at a time.
BW.com supposedly is selling their L21 Scypt miner, but dunno any details on how or min order size - it's very close to the L3+ on specs.
Otherwise, you're looking at the L3+ or at older-generation used miners like the Titan, A2, or Alcheminer.


 Litecoin is the original Scrypt coin (and one of the VERY FIRST altcoins at all), I used to mine it on GPUs back when it COULD be GPU mined but that was ballpark 4 years back.
