I'm thinking about entering the wave of mining bitcoins, and I wonder if it is worth investing. Did you know approximately how I get mine for months with this card?

More details about this card: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7870/pages/radeon-7870.aspx#3

Zero


Dont bother to try and mine Bitcoin with any GPU, it's pointless with the difficulty so high.

Have you considered mining other coins, Litecoin or such ?

Dig around the forums some more, lots of information here.

You won't be able to mine Bitcoin very well with a GPU. You'd be far better off mining an altcoin like LTC, VTC, or DOGE then converting to BTC, as you'll earn between 50x and 70x more coins.

Use one of the many mutli-coin pools (like Wafflepool, Middlecoin, etc) that allow you to automatically mine the most profitable altcoin and then pay out in BTC.

I use Middlecoin with a R9 280X, and it pulls in 0.01BTC a day - it's about the same speed as a 7970.  You will probably get half that.

I'm using a 7850 on middlecoin and I get about .06BTC a week running around 300MH/s. Took a bit in tuning it, but it's purring along.
