Topic: FPGA worth buying? - page 2. (Read 1264 times)
I would say no, because other things are starting to have a significant enough of an impact that they are not worth it at this point. However, your electricity costs are often a big part of this. I would say if you can make your money back + a profit, and aren't able to get an ASIC (better choice at this point), then get the FPGA.
Short answer No.
FPGA are extremely efficient, but outdated compared with the up coming ASIC Miners that have like 5x the hash rate for half the cost.

In a few months, probably not worth it.. But ASIC miners haven't shipped in enough quantity to really impact things yet. Hopefully soon though because I'm in the queues. 
Are any of these even worth bothering with at this point? They seem to still be quite expensive on eBay when they pop up.
