PPC and LTC mining with gpu

[Bombarlari]

Hello,
I want to start to mine crypto-currency.
I read that btc mining with gpu is pretty much impossible so how about other crypto-currencies like PPC and LTC.
Is it still worth the effort to mine those with a gpu ?

Litecoin is a scrypt mining coin and is perfect for GPU mining.  There are several mining pools out there (I prefer pools over solo mining--lower risk but less reward.  I am currently mining with wemineltc.com

Litecoin is "ASIC proof," meaning that so far is has resisted being overwhelmed by these cheap ASIC mining processors.  It is perfect for the individual with a couple or even one high-end AMD video card.  (AMD is about 3 times as powerful in mining as NVidia).

PPC is popular, but it, like BTC is now being mined by folks with ASIC miners and GHz of power.

Good luck!!!

If you're looking to use your GPU mining litecoin is currently your best bet. Like Catswold said, being that PPC is SHA-256 mining it with a GPU isn't all that effective. I put together a guide on Litecoin mining awhile back that is still relevant if you're interested:
