Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good GPU for BTC mining for the cost of around $200 - $300.
I am a gamer, but I figure when I am not gaming I could do some mining.
I am a laptop user, but I am planning to build a PC this tax season to save some money for upgrades later on.
The current setup I am looking to build uses a GTX 7770, but I heard Nvidia's were not too great when it comes to btc mining. (ltc mining is a different story though apparently, but btc pays off more)

Anyway's, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers!

U should get ASIC for BTC mining, any ASIC would be better then GPU 1000x...

Then buy your self gaming gpu and enjoy, and don't bother with btc mining.
You can't mine btc with gpu any more.

sure you can

if you have free electricity, why not?

for under $200, get a 7950

or wait! i'll sell you my 6990 for $225

or i have some 7850s... or some 7790s..

No sense in buying now, like I said I need to wait till after tax season

shame, that 7870 tahiti LE on newegg for $130 after rebate is essentially the same thing as a 7950..

I am a laptop user, but I am planning to build a PC this tax season to save some money for upgrades later on.
The current setup I am looking to build uses a GTX 7770, but I heard Nvidia's were not too great when it comes to btc mining. (ltc mining is a different story though apparently, but btc pays off more)

Anyway's, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers!

First, if you want to mine BTC with GPU you can forget about it, with $200 you can buy pretty good low hash rate ASIC....

Re read the main post, I am a gamer, I can't game with an ASIC can I?
Also I don't have that much money extra to blow to afford an ASIC and a gpu.

Use http://www.multipool.us/ to determine profitability. This site gives you profit in comparison to BTC.

For $250 you can get a AMD 7970 on eBay. Mine LTC of FTC instead of bitcoins. It's more profitable and then you can always convert it to bitcoins.

Interestingly http://dustcoin.com/ currently says that LTC or FTC are not more profitable to mine right now...
