Great assessment guys, was just looking at the Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide and you guys are right on the money! Looking for deals on 5xxx units now... Any recommendations on mobos for multiple GPUs?

I wouldn't buy it. That card uses about 80 watts of power and hashes at around 180Mh/s.  Lets assume that you pay 0.15 cents per kilowatt hour and it will take you over 10,000 days to break even.

guy was right.

price is ok,

7770 is
 good for gaming
fair for ltc
bad for BTC
 
 for good gaming, good LTC , and great BTC ,  buy 5830/5850/5870

much , much better BTC power for dolar, a fair amount better in LTC , and even a little beter in gaming
it just will be older and only down thing is a little higher chance of failure due to aging.

I got an offer on an XFX/ATI Radeon HD 7770 for $100 I figure I can get away with offering a bit lower, but I was wondering if this is a decent BTC miner? The guy said it would even be a good litecoin miner, but not sure what the main difference is? Still doing some research on the unit...
