Graphics card for mining?

[Macintoshviews]

 Helllo i have my computer now which you can find here and i'm wondering if i could just grab a R9 270X and throw it in my computer with my R7 260X and then just use the 270 for mining and use my 260 for gaming.... i'm not sure if there capability but can someone tell if it will be better to buy cheap system parts then put the R9 270X or just use myt computer that i use now and put the 270 in there...????

What are you mining? BitCoin? LiteCoin? ... DogeCoin?

Wait i'm a noob... does it matter tha coin

[EpicGeekonFire]

I am sure you would want to go something more high end like a 280x or 290 for mining..

Probably bitcoin

R9 270X Gets you almost 450 hash rate..

You Would want to go with an AMD Card so 280x/290x/7970/7950 what ever you can find that is cheaper.

you're going to be pushing that PSU..

 

and you're not mining bitcoin

[DyGr00339]

Probably bitcoin

You arn't mining bitcoin lol, mining n00b hax0r 

[TheSLSAMG]

Probably bitcoin

Yeah, no. There is no way that will EVER be profitable. People have farms of 250+ R9 290s for that.

 

If anything, mine Dogecoin. Even my 770 is fine for that.

[ForsakenLive]

Don't mine bitcoin with it
Stick to LTC

[Macintoshviews]

Why not?

 

You arn't mining bitcoin lol, mining n00b hax0r

[Macintoshviews]

I don't see why not to mine bitcoin and to mine LTC

[Purple]

bitcoin isn't worth it

[Macintoshviews]

Yeah, no. There is no way that will EVER be profitable. People have farms of 250+ R9 290s for that.

doge is worth nothing... i was just mining dogecoin with my mac and got some of them... but there worth nothing and probably only making 130 a year

This is what I get with 300Kh/s on Middlecoin.com

 

Mind you I don't mine there every day but do this for MUCH better results

Mine Litecoin. Get an R9 270. Done.

[Macintoshviews]

So il get a new PSU, plus the R9 270X and start mining litecoins?

Yes. You will never be profitable mining Bitcoins. NEVER

[helping]

Based on some of the things you've been saying, you've seriously been misinformed or are not very well informed. Do some reading because it's beyond explanation (for the sake of time and effort).

Sounds good to me

I don't see why not to mine bitcoin and to mine LTC

bitcoin and litecoin are not the same at all. One is sha-256 mining, the other is scrypt mining. litecoin and other scrypt mining currencies are asic resistant, bitcoin is not. And even if you're going to mine litecoin you aren't going to get jack these days with a single 270x.
