Topic: IN all honesty, can my 7850 really get me any decent amount of a currency? (Read 440 times)

Yes it can but you should mine a coin with a low difficulty, not bitcoin or litecoin.

I believe you can. I'm getting ~40kh/s with my processor for mining LTC and that is turning out to around $0.25/day for me in LTC. So if you overclock your card and you get 10x what I'm getting you can get close to 1 LTC/day.
What do you mean by getting a descent amount? No your not going to get like 5BTC or 30 LTC a day with that card. If you want just high numbers of currency go for a low value currency.

Yes, it can bring some amount of currency. The best option is LTC/FTC because this card have 256-bit memory bus that is good for script mining. Overclockers get 350/400 MH/s from this card.

Hey guys, been lurking the forum for a while, this is my 'financial MMORPG' (since goddamnit I needed to leave EVE for a while) and I love seeing everything you all post, gets me through the day. But my question is that I'm running a 7850 gpu which gets me around 250-260 mH/s using guiminer, which I've been using on slush's pool (getting very little though if I'm honest) whenever the computer is on. It's not on ALL the time, but it's about 17 hours of the day.
I also have tried a little bit of LTC mining at 260kH/s, and came a little late to the FTC party but still have about 15 FTC in my wallet anyway so hopefully they might go up in value.
Is there any reccomendations to what I should mine/pools and miners to use, or is it simply pointless me mining? Is there a certain currency you would personally think I should focus on?
I'd also like to point out I'm not just someone who has recently seen bitcoin in the news and though 'HUEHUE, GET RICH SO QWIK OFF MY GPU CARD SO EASY' but rather have enjoyed watching the 'bitcoin financial game' play out for quite some time. Love you guys and everything you do, it makes for one hell of an exciting and fun read!
So spring away, advise a young padawan in the arts of the crypto-currency
Thanks!
