I got enough litecoin to dump on a 7950 this will jump my hash rate from 871khash/s to 1471-1521khash/s, or should I hold my ltc?
Seriously.
What do you guys think? Hold or dump?
I think LTC mining is going to be extremely profitable. I'd buy a card, but I'd go for the 7970.
Don't listen to this guy, 7950 all the way. I'll lay it out for you and show why serious miners do 7950.
7970 gets 750 according to crypto. Most people get less however.
7950 gets 650 though most get less.
Both can get the high numbers with much testing and work.
Based off of top end numbers:
7970 = $400 = 1.875 h/s/$
7950 = $290 = 2.24 h/s/$
per card, yes, but you get something like 3h/$ if you buy a 5830, would you be buying a 5830? no because there's only so many you can fit on a rig, before you have to buy another set of mobo/ram/cpu etc.. The card that give bigger hash per PCIE slot does have its advantages, especially if space is of concern.
