Topic: Kindly help; R7950 farm, still usable for something? (Read 1376 times)
Check out links on my sig for deploying your rigs for ethereum mining, in the fastest way possible.
I would mine coins at launch, nothing else will make you more than a few bucks. way too much hashing power to compete with otherwise- mining pools and such. as another user said, use your GPU to crack passwords, that's valuable 
For the long established coin, the mining profit is very average. You can make a lot by mining new coins.

If your electric cost at that farm is low, it should be profitable for a while longer on X11 - but Ethereum seems to be the most profitable coin for AMD-based vidcards right now.
The prifotability of Ethereum is dropping fast. The Ethereum price is dropping and the difficulty is rising fast.

A friend of mine has a R7950 farm, and I would like to know on his behalf if it is still usable for mining coins, perhaps accompanied by some global/estimated statistics if possible. I know ASIC mining, but I know jack about GPU mining.
It concerns 40 pieces of the XFX type; I am already aware these are somewhat crappy cards, but I would like to know which algorithms can be mined with GPU's, and which would be best suited for GPU's. The SHA256 and Scrypt algorithm can be left out.
If possible, kindly provide some roughly estimated hash speed(s) along with the corresponding algorithm(s); doesn't have to be exact, just some rough numbers; I would highly appreciate such.

so.... possibilities enough
My 7950's are mining ETH at the moment. They were on Feathercoin for awhile but I switched to ETH when the price jumped up however Feather jumped up the past few days as well. Look into them both.
has FTC come even close to eth in mining profit lately? Based on my rough calculation, ETH is still more profitable but FTC is much higher than its been. I also personally see more value in FTC than ETH but others may not feel this way.
Mine Diamond coins and sell the crap out of it before it tanks.

Dev team so slack, they never fixed the Timewarp issue.

Many thanks for your contributions thus far.
How about the Qubit algorithm, might that something worth doing as well with those cards?

has FTC come even close to eth in mining profit lately? Some guy on the Eth forums said it was 50% more profitable. I haven't been following price - so maybe there was a short term pump?

fuck mining,
i wish i had those cards, with that hardware i would build a cloud based password cracking service, in long term i believe would be much more profitable than mining any worthless coin

Whatever Ether uses, I just mine and sell the coins for BTC. I have no interest in the coin other than profit.
Feathercoin uses NeoScrypt.
On Ether I get about 19MH/s per 7950
On FTC I get about 400KH/s per 7950 (if I remember right)

I am just curious, roughly how much profit do you earn per day per 7950 GPU, after subtracting electricity?
Don't account for hardware amortization, just electricity cost.
Some quick and dirty math tells me I make about $1.70 or so per day per 7950 after electrical cost. This is mining Ether and at current price.
The cards are old and paid for themselves back when you could GPU mine Litecoin so its all profit now (minus electricity). Ive considered building a larger farm but Im not sure Im comfortable with the risk. Also not sure I can efficiently cool any more.
ETH and X11 coins still profitable, but now ETH the best.
It's not a good time to buy new hardware. Just run the old cards and make some extra profit. Also if you want to sell the 7950 cards now you can sell them for a good price. In my country a used 7950 worth 150-200 USD.
Is Etheruem mining still better than X11 mining? The price of Ethereum has dropped a lot and the difficlty has risen a lot.
If you have a huge GPU farm I would break it down and sell half now whilst there is still a good price for these cards. I mean I see these 7950 going for 60-65% of brand new gen cards of the same level. That is a good price after 2-3 years of use out of them. If eth mining becomes unprofitable again these cards will sink.

why are you pushing FTC here for god's sake? are both these accounts yours? I bet they are. Why not recommend coinwarz?
Pushing it hard? Calm down, killer. I answered a question based on personal experience. While it may not be the top coin, its been a steady profit for awhile and recently the price jumped up (probably just a PnD but still).

That is right. It is quite profitable to mine the Ethereum at the moment. But the difficulty is rising fast.

?
My question is genuine. I do not know what FTC stands for, and just googled coinwarz to see what that is about.
And no, I bet you back both accounts are not mine. I use only 1, which is this one. Be my guest and check it out, you did jumped a bit early to assumed conclusions my friend...
