I am using my GTX 480 for mining and it's crunching at about 106 Mhash/s.  Is it better for me to be on Pay-Per-Share or Proportional payout?
I would sell it and replace it with an ATI.
You are using roughly ~500w @ full load. With 80% PSU efficiency you're pulling 600w from the wall. 600w/hour * 24 hours/day * 30 days = 432 Kwh and at $0.10/Kwh, you would be paying $43.20 a month in electricity and pull in about 57.5 BTC per month or $52.33 a month at current difficulty and current Mt.Gox market price, netting $9.13/mo.
I don't like using ATI cards, their driver support for Linux is not very good.
Only if mining or other integer stream processing is not your main goal. ATIs are many times faster than nVidia in mining.
